The Caucasus posed a much smaller threat as land invasion goes compared to the open plains of eastern Europe, not to mention the Soviets had already taken over Georgia/Azerbaijan etc. in the region.

If the North Korean regime falls, I'm not sure the reunification process would be immediately going underway considering how the gap between North and South Korea is way too wide. North Korea will need to show that they have something valuable of their own as well as the will to work hard in order to improve their current situation before South Korea would consider reunification with a more serious eye. In other words, North Korean people will need to prove that they won't act like parasites only feeding off South Korean help if the reunification process begins.
O_o You serious? This isn't a nation divided for centuries and have veered off on their own separate paths, it's only been a few decades.

I mean, East Germany totally had to show they had to have something valuable and would work hard to prove they won't act like parasites before people tore down the Berlin Wall!

...oh wait.
