Any move by the south into the north without provocation or invitation would be an invasion of the north by the south and resumption of the war started in 1950. The Chinese, Russians and the UN would condemn such a move, as would most of the world. China and Russia would be free to "support" North Korea to the best of thier abilities without retribution. If in the end they took over North Korea, the south really has no say in it. The political ramifications would be world wide. (And what US president wants to again support the invasion of another country supported by the US?) Bush?, McCain? Obama?
