    I wonder how much the current US administration being who they are has to do with this.

    Previously, North Korea’s line was that the South was occupied or controlled by colonialist America, meaning they’d always refuse to “reunite” with the one true Korea. But, Trumpian politics and government, especially the apparent friendliness towards the Kim dictatorship democracy, if not some level of imitation of it, have removed the last remaining reason to believe that the South is under US control.

    Therefore we might surmise that the North have finally accepted that, no, the South have been doing things their own way for a long time and the US influence, if there ever was any, has long since gone away.

    And so there’s no need for any reunification in their constitution. The South is too far gone. Written off as a total loss.

    OR. This is some kind of double-bluff and they’re hoping the South will let their guard down and they have the concepts of a plan to have the regime take over Seoul.
