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?

You do realize that NK is at least 5-10 years away from having the capability of starting a nuclear war? Iraq, also at one time was on the verge of making a nuclear warhead, maybe you should read history and find out what happened to them.

NK is only doing this for one purpose; it has nothing to do with defending themselves, because no one in their right mind would attack NK, seeing that they're China's puppet.

But hey, if you want to defend NK, and state that has defied international law, which specifically banned them from firing a long-range missile, and allow them to have nuclear weapons so that the Western World is in even more danger, go right ahead.

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.

Israel has a very powerful military, what does nuclear weapons have to do with anything? Last time I checked, the Arab states were still high on their anti-semitism, like you, plus some of the Palestinians have been firing missiles at Israel for years now.

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.

Why is it sick that the US retalliated after approx. 3,000 of their own people where killed?

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.

When has the US broken international law by firing a long range missile into the sea 500 miles from the shore of another nation?
