US will not get out of South Korea ever because they serve US interests in that region against China as well. For example, the US bases are still Europe, Germany in particular, despite the dissolution of the Warsaw pact and USSR.
Who would get the nuclear weapons, the technical equipment and technologies and the specialists from DPRK if the Koreans are to become united?
American troop presence in Germany is winding down. British bases in Germany have moved back to Britain, so it can be down.
As for the issue of nuclear weapons, the same problem existed when the USSR broke up, and you had the question of what to do with nuclear weapons scattered all over the place. . The great powers will get round a table and sort it out like they did before.

Far less bluster, none of the nuclear mess. None of the trouble this one seems determined to start like stupid stuff like nuking Alaska... ?
If he keeps up with threats, no one believes him and then he had to back it up. ... China, china wants peace ob its border. Better the devil it knows than a new one. Plus hoards of refugees headed to its borders.
I can see why china is unhappy with the new Kim.
Good points, but money talks, and a united Korea would need billions of dollars/pounds/whatever in vestment for decades to come.
Never underestimate the effects of money on people.
