North Korea's leader just died, and nobody knows what is going on. North Korea is in full lock down mode, a younger son is the heir apparent, and people are starving in North Korea. And they have nuclear bombs, and there is a huge chance the country will fall apart. A Russian think tank forcast after the death of the leader of North Korea, the country would be absorbed into South Korea. Of course, China would probably prefer not to have this happen. And China does not want an increase in refugees. And South Korea would rather wait to its wealthier, to absorb the North (they saw what happened with Germany).

Interesting times indeed.
