The United States of America has beef…and to be fair, it always has had beef, but the
menu is seasonal.
The flavour of the decade seems to be North Korea, with the pair constantly sparring in
a war of words and heavy red button discussions.
But, what if the two nations laid aside their differences and joined forces.
Hello and welcome back to Life's Biggest Questions, the channel that answers as many
semi insane questions as we do semi legit ones.
Why?
Because aren't we all just a little bit curious…and…I don't know, sometimes
its more fun to answer wacky questions.
I am your host Rebecca Felgate and today I am asking What if America Joined North Korea
and became a super power.
Before we get into this video, why don't you tell me – other than your own home country
– what is your favourite nation.
Mine is Canada.
While you are down there, why don't you hit that thumbs up button and share this video
with a friend.
Okay, so…..
I mean lets face it, The United States of America annexing North Korea is outrageous
and ridiculous… but lets play along for…
I don't know… lols.
I say annexing, because this really is the only way this could go.
Alone, there is categorically no way this could go any other way.
North Korea could not defeat the United States in battle, nor could they simply decide they
were at one with the United States.
The only way this would happen is if for some tactical reason, the US wanted North Korean
land and they decided to colonize…which in this day an age, is pretty downright crazy.
None the less….
Despite being a relatively poor country with a Gross Domestic Product of just 28.5 billion
dollars – North Korea is resources rich, they just don't know how to use it.
North Korea has a great mineral reserve with large stocks of iron, gold, magnesite, zinc,
copper, limestone, molybdenum, graphite and Uranium.
The Economist estimates the countries wealth is as high as 10 trillion dollars in value,
which is not to be sniffed at.
If the US did want to absorb the Democratic Republic of North Korea, then it certainly
would solidify its super power status.
At the moment, China leads the world in domestic mine production, but with
North Korea, the USA could take the edge.
So… let's circle back to China…if the USA and North Korea joined forces, China would
NOT be pleased.
Much of the Korean war was a power struggle between Western and Eastern influence.
If the USA suddenly had an extra 120 and a half thousand square kilometres of land in
the East…well not only China, but Russia would feel pretty strongly about it.
North Korea shares boarders with both China and Russia and while relations are civil,
neither super power wants the Unites States on their door step.
Tensions would be high and could well erupt…which is not what anyone wants.
While a joining of America and North Korea would alleviate the concern of missiles from
the hermit nation, it would aggravate a much realer threat.
Aside from Russia and China feeling sore about a union, South Korea would probably feel pretty
weird about it too.
If anything, they want a unified Korea and having the States taking over the North is
probably just as bad for their independence as it is being sat next to a dictatorship.
South Korea and the Unites States are allies but how long would that last if they saw each
other every day?
You know who I also feel wouldn't get along – the United States Citizens and the North
Koreans – they could not be more culturally different…and that isn't to mention the
fact that North Koreans have been fed propaganda their whole lives teaching them Americans
are evil.
Also, not that we can ever cater to a white supremacist, but I imagine they would be pretty
livid about the situation too.
Would North Korea be a 51st state, further still than Hawaii and Alaska….or would it
be an unincorporated territory of the Unites States like Puerto Rico – in either case,
North Koreans could freely move into the US if they wanted, although most probably couldn't
afford to.
And speaking of money – would the profit of the natural resources outweigh the financial
burden of having a responsibility to ensure the well being of the country?
Okay, but like, once again, how would this even work, anyway?
Kim Jong Un suddenly forgets his God Given dynasty and agrees to yield to Donald Trump?
I severely doubt it.
Would the US simply go in for a long distance Anschluss and over throw the dictator, declaring
the land their own?
They cant to that either…the UN would have a lot to say about it.
Sure, the States could steal the land, but it would render them the top super power for
all of ten minutes until every other country in the world calls them out and a war is started.
Or maybe not…maybe it would spark a land grab free for all…colonization 2.0, without
all the months at sea.
Woah.
Look – it just isn't going to happen.
The United States would never be allowed real influence in the east, else China and Russia
would kick off.
It would be unprecedented and while it may seem beneficial in terms of hot property in
an areas of the monopoly board the States doesn't occupy much of, it would likely
cause more harm and upheaval than good.
The only way that the United States and North Korea could join forces would be to agree
on a few fundamental issues.
Perhaps they could band together as allies, although this would ruffle feathers…or they
could agree to be part of a global pact of world peace, making our global population
the true superpower.
So what do you guys think would happen if America and North Korea joined forces to become
a super power.
Would you be freaking out that you live in an episode of stranger things as the would
has turned upside down….
Orrrr would you be happy?
What would this mean for the rest of the world?
