The thing to keep in mind is that to nation build N. Korea -- it could largely be outsourced to S. Korea. It's not like the situation in Iraq at all in this way. Koreans are ethnically and traditionally united people. S. Korea is already expecting to incorporate them into their country at some point in the future.
All of this is bad news for China though. It means they have to keep the regime intact (even if they kill a singular leader) to prevent S. Korea from essentially flipping their buffer state into a capitalist democracy. So Expect that if S. Korea starts trying to unite the two countries -- China will have some kind of a reaction.

Nah like I edited in on the first paragraph a couple posts back (I know you missed it), they are truly separate countries now. They don't even refer to themselves as NK and SK, there will never be a reunification. Even ethnically they are changing, SK being taller people on avg. But many NK's want out, sure, though if the situation would change so would that desire to leave for some. NK likes Western culture just like SK, even just like Iran, they love jeans and rock music and video games etc. But that doesn't make everybody want to be all in the same border.
Something big breaking but needs confirmation. We may be sending two more carrier groups.
