While I do agree with the rest of what you said this annoys me every time I hear it. It is clear as day that it would be better for Korea to be united again even if the south would have to support the north for a very long time. Building up the north to the point where it can actually take care of itself will take decades and require billions indeed but when you're weighing the unification of the country, potentially saving millions of lives from starvation and removing the threat of a nutcase with nukes against setting back your economy for an extended period of time, the decision shouldn't be that hard.

Of course you'd have to find a way that doesn't include your country turning into a radioactive wasteland first.
