How much is the union of Korea?

How much is the union of Korea?The confrontation of two forces on the territory of the Korean Peninsula this year marks 67 years. The beginning of the division was the defeat of Japan in World War II, as a result of which Soviet influence began to intensify on the Korean Peninsula. As befits the second pole of the geopolitical world, which (pole) in 1945 was the United States of America, Washington decided to also take part in the formation of a new political force in the region. As a result, the northern part of the Korean Peninsula became de-facto pro-Soviet, and a part of the south - pro-American. In 1953, a demarcation line appeared, dividing the peninsula into two states along the 38 parallel. Subsequently, it was in Korea (in addition to divided Germany) that the confrontation between the two ideologies was most clearly manifested. Moreover, if the German confrontation ended with the fall of the Berlin Wall, the confrontation of the two Koreas continues to this day.

In this case, we can talk about the infinite number of differences between the Eastern civilization, to which the Korean people belong, and the Western civilization, to which the Germans belong. The representatives of Eastern civilization have a stronger ideological component, and therefore the confrontation between the two parts of the same people does not even think of leaving history. But is there a chance for the two Koreas to unite again, having come to a consensus decision?

Recently, the South Korean media published information that, it turns out, the South Korean authorities have repeatedly offered their colleagues from the DPRK to go for rapprochement. Such proposals were made in the framework of statements on the possible holding of bilateral summits. According to the statements of the former employee of the Presidential Administration of the Republic of Korea, the current President Lee Myung-bak 3 a year ago suggested Kim Jong-il to organize a Korean "mezhdusboychik", on which to try to develop a so-called road map for the rapprochement of states and peoples. The same ex-employee of the administration of the President of South Korea says that Kim Jong Il told Lee Myung-bak his “yes”, but at the same time demanded a “small” financial present in the form of 0,5 billion dollars. This amount was supposed, in the opinion of the DPRK authorities, to create a “favorable atmosphere” for negotiations.

But either the South Korean president suspected Kim Jong-il of trying to lead him to the brink of a corruption scandal, or Lee Myung-bak - the president was stingy at all, but the fact remains - no summit took place. Moreover, another round of political and military tensions between the two states began, the most acute point of which was the incident on Yonpkhedo, an island geographically belonging to South Korea. It was in November 2010. Then the South Korean troops decided to conduct exercises in the Yellow Sea, which is the controversial northern boundary line. North Korea warned its southern "partners" that it was not going to silently look at how the "enemy army" would plow in its territorial waters. In response, the South Koreans said that these waters are South Korean, and therefore Seoul will do whatever it wants in them. As a result, Pyongyang insulted utterly, said that during the exercises, Seoul launched a pair of shells into the territory of the DPRK. After that, the North Korean troops began, no less than a few, the shelling of the Yonpyeongo island, as a result of which two marines of South Korea were killed and several dozen were injured. South Koreans did not remain in debt and replied to Pyongyang with retaliatory shelling. The situation is at a standstill. Recall that for the friendship of the North Koreans asked "only" 500 million dollars. The word “all” was used because, as a result, both countries lost only one third of this sum during the conflict on Yonpkhedo (plus its consequences) ...

At the dead end, she remained even after Kim Jong-un ascended to the presidency in the DPRK. Initially, Seoul (and not only Seoul) thought that the new Kim was much more loyal to capitalist ideals than his father, but Kim the Third quickly dispelled all hopes of the South Korean authorities, stating that if the South will continue to lead “unfriendly policy toward the DPRK’s socialist conquests, then a nuclear strike will be dealt to Seoul. From such statements in South Korea came in a state of shock, from which for a long time could not get out.

However, today South Korean political analysts say that the situation in terms of the rapprochement of the DPRK and the Republic of Korea may get off the ground after the presidential elections in the South. If a more pragmatic leader is at the head of a country, he can take advantage of Kim Jong-un's weaknesses. And many people know about the weaknesses of this politician today. This weakness is associated with material well-being. Obviously, if the South Koreans talk about the summit again, Pyongyang will take advantage of the opportunity to receive financial preferences from them. But in the end, for South Korea to pay those same 500 million dollars is not such a heavy burden. Russia for 10 billion forgives - and nothing ...

But South Koreans, perhaps, would be glad to pay their forfeits to their northern brothers, but they only fear that they will not limit themselves to one-time demands. Well, what else did Seoul want? .. North Korea is a poor bride, but muscular. If the bridegroom (South Korea) does not give expensive gifts, it may even hurt ... It’s possible to call this North Korean blackmail, but blackmail is within the same family. Together with our Slav brothers, we also often butt, but then we understand that it is better to release gas with oil cheaper than to receive next sticks of unfriendly. No, for us, of course, no one from the neighboring states shoots artillery shells and does not threaten with a nuclear strike in words, but in our case there are problems.

It turns out that Seoul is still more likely to attract the North into its arms. Yes - you have to fork out, but you can call it promising financial investments. Of course, it cannot be assumed that the North Koreans will rush towards the southerners for the promises of multimillion-dollar assistance, but it all depends on how to present such assistance ...

If you put aside ambitions and switch to a language that is understandable to each other, you can attract even experienced socialists with experienced capitalists to friendship. And if Germany on mentality, as we found out, cannot be cited as an example, then China is quite possible. We learned how to find a symbiosis from the integration of socialist ideas with market laws. Are the Koreans ready to go for it? - The question is difficult ... However, in the matter of rapprochement between the two Koreas today, there are far more supporters of this process than opponents around the world. Of course, if the next “stronghold of the axis of evil” disappears from the map, then the Pentagon will find it much harder to beat out money to protect the planet from the “North Korean threat”, but from the point of view of economic prospects, even for the US, you can find a sufficient number of advantages.

Speaking of the Korean split, we can say that today the situation resembles a chronic sore, which everyone seems to have gotten used to, but which still spoils the view, starting to itch at the wrong time. Will there be enough strength and imagination to solve more than half a century of problems - it will be clear after the presidential elections in South Korea.

          The best way to turn North Korea into a stable and secure state is to do the opposite of what is being done now. Economic sanctions should be lifted and more money invested in the country. If 60 years have failed, then in the future they will not be able to break them. And at the same time ordinary people suffer.

            Sanctions there relatively recently. And for a very clear reason - nuclear weapons, and its tests. The DPRK has grandmothers and political capital on this, and is not going to stop them. The Chinese are actively investing there, but the DPRK is a very funny business. Just recently, the government took away a large Chinese plant that they liked, so that the Chinese broke out in an evil article in the official newspaper - which has not happened until now, although there have been cases. Do not shift everything to sanctions. Much depends on the system. And the DPRK system is as closed as possible.

              China, of course, is a key player and has actually made significant investments in the development of the DPRK. China also collaborates with the international investment group that North Korea created to develop ports, railways, light industry, and agriculture. I don’t think that, because of some kind of factory, they will take such a step, because it’s stupid to bite a nursing hand, what do you think?

              The system is in the sanctions themselves, as well as in all kinds of naval exercises in the region, which will not help the inhabitants of the DPRK and will not make the situation on the Korean Peninsula safer. But they will only rally the people around the leadership and at the same time worsen their lives even more.

    The main refrain in the article is that both Koreas are equal in humanitarian, moral, and economic aspects. And as always, the United States is woven. Type would not be the United States would have long been united.

    After the Second World War, South Korea was formed through free elections.
    North through the plantation of the stavlenik of the USSR and the NKVD.
    In the south, human rights are respected.
    In the north, totalitarianism is the most crude ferment.

    The war on the Korean Peninsula, in the article, is highlighted as a military conflict and is silent that the DPRK was the aggressor. Or again, here is the United States that ordered Kim Il Sung to move troops to Seoul to strengthen democracy. Yes, at that time, without the approval of Stalin, Kim Il Sung would not have gone to the toilet.

    Unification as a form of existence of a single civilized state is desirable only to the South. And some dictator voluntarily surrendered his power. A dictator, he is a dictator to spread rot for his people.

    The people of the South live the full life of a civilized state. Democracy allowed the South Koreans to boost their economies to the top 20. And where is the north? And then they started from the same positions.

    I think the unification of Korea is unprofitable for China or Japan or other countries in this region, either for political or economic reasons. After all, a powerful player will appear on the economic map of the world, capable of seriously pushing its neighbors (Japan Singapore Malaysia, etc.) due to the cheapness of the northern labor force, and even China will not be delighted with the newly appeared competitor Korean quality The quality of the goods produced is a cut above the Chinese "gross product" .imagine Daewoo Nexia at the price of the VAZ "seven". dreams, dreams ... By the unification of Korea, the United States, China, Russia, Japan will lose the opportunity to conduct their behind-the-scenes political fuss, constant negotiations in the format two plus two, six minus four (I'm exaggerating) , the head is dizzy from these schemes.The DPRK in the Far East is Palestine in the Middle East, everyone is fishing in troubled waters, what politicians will do, the former presidents acting as all kinds of intermediaries and earning their ratings on this and not only, and losing leverage No one wants pressure in the face of North and South Korea on their geopolitical opponents in this region ... If there were no Palestinians Iny and North Korea, then they should be invented, these political offshore companies for laundering political capital. I think so.

    Why is everyone fixated on the economic comparison of the two countries? Yes, this is important, but it is also important that North Korea is a country that has decided to go its own way of existence, in conditions of maximum opposition. This country has not had a single day of calm life, and practically zero support from the 90s from Russia and China. While the "economic miracle" of South Korea is largely based on external financial injections from the United States and Japan.

      No opposition would have been without waving Pyongyang nuclear weapons. Do not lead militaristic rhetoric. Do not attack him at one time in the south. Guadalupe won’t wave and nobody is opposing it.

        Your path is certainly good. But you need to look around. There is no one on this path. Nor the USSR. neither Eastern Europe nor China (there is a market economy).

        The whole world has now climbed a staggering skyscraper called the American dollar, and we climbed there with China. But they are not. So we were left alone. The whole world has obeyed the hegemony of the United States, but they are not. The whole world as an idiot only thinks about consumption and money, but they do not. They certainly have plenty of troubles, but at least the experience of their country is very interesting.
        But when this skyscraper called the "American Dollar" collapses, it is quite possible that only they will remain afloat with their "miserable" economy. Because, let it be known to you that they satisfy all their needs for 99% of their own resources.

          As climbed and gets down. America itself did not ask anyone. It was her ruined Europe that she asked not to carry gold bullion over the scales and oceans in mutual settlements. It is possible that in 20-30 years the whole world will climb into the yuan, as it will turn out to be the strongest currency.

          And this preconditioned world of consumption, as if imposed by the United States. Yes, the world began to consume as our ancestors got off the trees, then the USA was still gone. And since then people consume and consume everything. Well, how without it. Clothing is needed, food is needed, cars are needed. Everything is needed to live.

            I, of course, wildly apologize dear Beck, but we are consuming now, but what can you tell me? By occupation, I am engaged in food products, more specifically in the meat processing industry (sausages, smoked meats). So, with all the shortcomings of the USSR, SAFETY of the food industry was on the 1st mets. Although there wasn’t such an abundance as now, but in 80% it was a high-quality natural product. But now, continuous additives improvers, etc., sausage below 300 rubles is a complete crap. and THIS is about 50% of the market. So Plenty of goods does not mean GOOD!

          Somehow they’re succumbing to their needs.


          North Korea announced a change in the requirements for minimum growth of draftees. It is reduced from 145 to 142 centimeters.

          "Now there are a lot of undersized young people who do not meet the previous growth requirements," a spokesman for the DPRK military department said. Young people born in the mid-1990s, when famine caused by drought hit the DPRK, now fall under the draft.

          Another problem for the Korean People's Army is the lack of conscripts. The fact is that at that time infant mortality was high, and the birth rate was at a very low level, Interfax reports.

          Young people will always sympathize with what they have never seen. Yes, and it’s hard not to sympathize with a beautiful fiction, your idea, compiled from stories, articles and books. Imagination draws such pictures, take a look! Therefore, for example, our younger generation of the USSR sees almost a paradise on earth.
          In addition, it is always easy to sympathize with revolutionaries or independent communists sitting in a warm apartment at a good computer and eating a sandwich with a cheap sausage. You see, people having satisfied all their material needs begin to lazily think about how good it is to have a national idea, for example. But it’s worth tearing out at least some of the modern blessings from their hands, as there is no trace of thinking about great ideas, of course, there are really convinced people who are ready to die for their dreams, but most will gladly exchange calls and slogans for a loaf of bread.

When, during the life of Kim Jong Il, some street was not completed on time, then Kim sent tenants to the officials themselves in apartments until the buildings were completed. And what is the result? All houses were completed in a month

    Honestly speaking, I do not get tired of being enthusiastic about the people of North Korea, with all possible and impossible sanctions and isolation, they manage not only to exist, but also to be happy! The South, under the same conditions, would die out like flies in a year, or crawled on its knees to those who imposed these sanctions .. only a ban on trade would kill them ..
    It seems to me that the DPRK just proved to the whole world the superiority of socialism over imperialism. And imagine what a flourishing state would be if the borders were opened, and given their organization an order of magnitude higher than the Chinese, they would start working with them, whatever the economic effect, and even the cheap slave. force because money for North Koreans is not the main thing in life, there are things and more important than stuffing your stomach ..
