I don't know if it is good news. If North and South get into bed together now they will become a super-power in their own right. The USA will not be needed and will lose strategic bases. China will swing in to the void left by the Americans and we will end up with a South/Far-East v West Cold War.

*bear in mind I know nothing.

Got to be a good thing.
War huh what is it good for....
Absolutely nothing, say it again y'all

This helped things along

Hu Xingdou, a Beijing-based scholar who follows North Korea's nuclear programme, said it was highly likely that Pyongyang had received a stark warning from Beijing.

"The test was not only destabilising the site but increasing the risk of eruption of the Changbai Mountain," a large, active volcano at China-Korean border, said Hu, who asked that his university affiliation not be disclosed for this article because of the topic's sensitivity.

The mountain's collapse has likely dealt a huge blow to North Korea's nuclear programme, Hu said.

Hit by crippling international economic sanctions over its nuclear ambitions, the country might lack sufficient resources to soon resume testing at a new site, he said. "But there are other sites suitable for testing," Hu said. "They must be closely monitored."

Guo Qiuju, a Peking University professor who has belonged to a panel that has advised the Chinese government on emergency responses to radioactive hazards, said that if fallout escaped through cracks, it could be carried by wind over the Chinese border.

Reunification is still far away, unless Kim makes a surprise move. They've played this game many times before and it always turns out to be: "give us time, money and food and we'll behave until we feel like misbehaving again."

American and South Korean troops have been training together for almost 70 years, so I doubt they'll split up anytime soon. If reunification ever takes place, I'd assume that China would demand that American troops and bases remain within the current borders of South Korea.

Even combined, the two Koreas wouldn't come close to being a superpower.

Expectations have grown that North Korea will soon release three Americans held as prisoners, as a gesture of goodwill ahead of an unprecedented US-North Korea summit due to take place in coming weeks.
