Germany was a split country for 50 years.
Korea is still a split country.
I guess I have to give you Japan, although now you could say "clearly the solution is nukes" if you're just going blindly on data.
Even if you think it's going to go well this time, you have to admit this sort of thing does not have a good track record.
Germany is still split in so many ways. Just look at any map of demographics, pension, income, anything "social/society scale", the borders are clearly there still, somehow.
Indeed, and not just on maps. If you drive through Germany on secondary roads the border is as visible as it ever was.
So you admit it didn’t go smoothly.
