There is no "don't mess with us or we'll nuke you" attitude in this world anymore. NK is playing with fire, and will utter certainty will they get burned. I find it pathetic that people will defend a country that has clearly broken international law by firing a long-range missile, that in its working stage would be perfectly capable of reaching Alaska and parts of the West Coast. Sick.

Why does any state proliferate arms? A state is going to have to seriously consider occupying N.Korea now because the risk of nuclear warfare is at hand. It is strategically the smartest thing N.Korea can do. At this exact moment, there is no one particular state that is threatening their sovereignty, but why would a state wait until a state is a direct threat, when it is far too late to do anything?
Are you stupid? If you think that there is no "don't mess with us or we'll nuke you" attitude in this world, you should probably pick up a newspaper. Hell, turn on CNN. One of the only reasons Israel is still surviving amoungst Arab states is because of nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons is a HUGE deterrant of warfare.
If you think it's sick that N.Korea has missles that could potential hit the west coast, you are completely naive to what lies directly beneath the 49th parallel. I am surprised that some idiot American hasn't accidentally nuked all of Canada by pushing a button at one of the silos directly below us. Now thats sick. The fact that we are so close to the U.S. is sick. The way the U.S. retalliated against Japan for Pearl Harbour is sick.
I think it is funny how you quote international law to defend the U.S. that repeatedly disregards international law without a blink of an eye. The U.S. administration's foreign policies are the reason why N.Korea has made this decision, instead of blaming N.Korea for reacting to the threat of the Americans, maybe you should be questioning why they need those weapons in the first place.
