Kim Jong Un additionally said that his country will launch three additional military spy satellites, build more nuclear weapons and introduce modern unmanned combat equipment in 2024.

At the meeting that ended Saturday, Kim accused the United States of posing “various types of military threat” and ordered his armed forces to maintain “overwhelming war response capability,” according to KCNA. It is a “fait accompli that a war can break out at any time on the Korean peninsula due to reckless moves by the enemies to invade us,” Kim said.

At the meeting, Kim said he would no longer seek reconciliation and reunification with South Korea, noting the “persisting uncontrollable crisis situation” that he said was triggered by Seoul and Washington.

    It has been around 70 since they’re separated. Separated siblings have started their own families with these extended families having no connection to each other.

    As time and generation passes the blood gets thinner so to speak. It’s just reality.

    Most Americans, Canadians Australians, New Zealanders were once British, how many identify as now? I bet you none.

    East and West Germany would be the closest example but that wasn’t exactly complete communication shutdown like in Korea.

    I have a Korean friend for example early 20s, doesn’t give a shit about the north because he doesn’t have any family connections, and says reunification would be a disaster because then they have the subsidise “the poors”. As long as they don’t attack, he couldn’t give a shit about North Koreans welfare.

    I don’t blame him he just wants to live his life as it currently is without a massive change to his situation. People don’t like change.

    Tl;dr it’s most likely too late for reunification. It’s not inheritantly a bad thing, there’s no longer blood relations. Even if the north becomes democratic later on it’s probably going to be separated.
