It's almost tragic the way these people are so brainwashed.

It's too bad the people don't truly know the real success of their neighbours to the south.
The night the Berlin Wall fell, stunned, rag-tag, East Germans staggered unbelieving through the glittering, neon-strewn and flush retail districts of West Berlin, past endless stores aglitter and stuffed with jewellry, clothing and technology . . . . . .

. . . . . and then they got angry as it started to occur to them how much they had been led down the proverbial garden path . . . .

A decade later, the Germans were still paying the bill of trying to normalize the East into a modern economy and Germany was called "the sick man of Europe." More than 20 years later, that's obviously started to change and Germany is the strong man of Europe again . . . .

The economic burden on South Korea should the North actually die a natural death would be something staggering as well.
