Let's assume that everything goes the way almost everyone would like, and the two Koreas unite. A UNIFIED nuclear Korea would make a lot of people nervous regardless of which form of government succeeds the two existing ones. You think the Chinese, the Japanese, or even the Australians want that?

The original point comparing Taiwan was perfect.. either of them
Nuking up could cause a long domino effect right through Asia.

South Korean nukes could also be viewed by the North and China as an agressive US action. That might see America end up with another long term dependant state relationship like it enjoys with Israel in the Middle East.


And Yes, Australians are very aware the immenent danger.. nukes in the South Pacific would irrevocably change Australia as we know it, and probably end up in the US wanting to Arm us as another Israel like outpost I would say. :\
