Why are US troops still in Korea after reunification? Their mission has long been accomplished and are they there to show the flag and guarantee stability?
I bet the Kims'd still be holed up in Pyongyang while the rest of their country starves.
Is there really no way they could've survived? If the revolution had been averted, then there's nothing to say Kim Il Song wouldn't stay in power. But then he was in failing health when he was executed, so he might not have lived long afterwards. But then who would've succeded him? Probably not his idiot son. Has anybody heard of this guy, Kim Jong Il? He was Kim Il Song's son, who ironically enough escaped the post revolutionary purge in the north by defecting to the south. Until he died last year, he was often known as the "Uwe Boll of Korea" and continued to produce and direct "so bad its good" low budget B-movies with obvious Pro-North, Communist appolgist undertones until he died, even though he bankrupted his family in the process.ASB, Without the USSR the DPRK would crumble within a year or two.

You mean he would've run the nation at the same time as Romney? I don't see that going well. He started out as Propaganda minister, a role he was determined to play until he died apparently. But during the time he was in as Propaganda minister you see a lot of really wierd crap going on. I'm talking kidnapping a South Korean Director and his Actress wife weird. After re-unification, he had to pay them both almost a million in USD settlement. Then he gets into the Seoul B-movie scene, gets mixed up with some wierd east european porn producer that gets him hooked on cocaine, and then he starts churning out shlock, until he dies of an overdose of alchohol and cocaine in 2012. Read the whole thing in a great book by his son Kim Jong Un.Yeah, pretty much. Who knows? He might have been the Mitt Romney of North Korea, even!
OOC: Yes, Mitt Romney did win the White House ITTL. I intended for him to be the stand-in for Dubya Bush, 2000 to 2008, only even more disastrous than his pseudo-Texan OTL counterpart. Clinton still won his two terms, though, unless anyone has issues with that.
