Dumb Statement (from North Korea)

Post Reply New Topic

Almost every country has nuclear weapons now. Even some of those that don't have weapons of mass destruction, probably do but aren't saying they do.
Kim Jong wanted the bomb for his own means for a long time. In the UN it is so typical of real life, almost like a daycare. We only notice someone when there is a problem. We are all talking about North Korea now when we would only talk about the war in the 50's before he wanted to show some muscle.

I think you are reaching as far it is known, only China, Pakistan, India, Russian, Uzbekistan, Ukraine (the last three all part of the former Soviet Union), Great Britain, France, and Maybe Israel are the only ones on that list besides the U.S. that possess nuclear weapons. To say every country is really reaching as there are so many, many of them new, and many don't have the money or resources even if they wanted to possess or develope them. And if what you claim is true, North Korea would be the least of our worries, as many nations don't have stable governments or reasonable ones. Some of those many if they existed would you blackmail like North Korea tried to, to get more and favorable trade deals or free stuff from other nations. Others might have autocrats that hate each other and would thus resort to nuke wars. It is only by the example set in Japan that science and nations realized how truly powerful nukes were, otherwise we would have had a 3rd world war 50 years ago. But some autocracies show little concern for the own citizens let alone the world, so we would truly be in trouble.

The United States has been after the communists ever since the cold war began. The Cuban missile crisis was nothing more then paranoia on the Americans part. We still can't make up with the Cubans because our country is truly arrogant. Maybe thats why we wont switch to the metric system.
