I wonder if Korea could ever be unified like that by even 2089 or if the absolute horror, suffering and abuse in North Korea will be perpetuated for all time, fortified by China and now their nuclear arms doomsday.

East Germany never had nuclear right? Now that might be insurmountable.

The United States tried uniting two of its territories: Guam and North Marianas Islands. Guam had been occupied by the Japanese during WWII, while N Marianas had not.

That difference was too much.
