it seems a bit strange to say the only reason south Korea developed had nothing to do with resources and souly because of democracy when south Korea developed under several dictators post war?
I think its really crazy to ignore north Koreas limited access to trade as well as the uneven level of damaged they received during the war.
not to excuse them of there horrendous regime at all, But the US has constantly been in the way of efforts to ease tentions and hopefully push towards re unification.
but If I'm wrong let me know, I'm no expert obviously

A debater stated the unified Korea could have the GDP larger than Germany, Japan... As soon as I heard this. I won’t take her seriously anymore.
