communism is dead! the North Koreans repress there loyal servants also known as citizens in an attempt to build nuclear arms to fight who? USA? it is a joke to think they could threaten the USA, sure they could afflict some damage...but the short range ballistic capability of Korea should be more of a worry to Russia than the USA? yet what are the Russians and Chinese doing? why don't they lead the charge for once instead of it ALWAYS being USA? or is it only people who are truly free that care for those that have no freedom?

Who did North Korea invade last? I can't remember......sorry.

Spatie - you absolutely fully undertsand what the root cause of the nuclear problem is!

I dont support the nuclear problem of North Korea, but developing nuclear arms is the only way, small countries like North Korea can resist a potential US aggresion and such countries can be independant. If US withdraw its troops from Central Asia, From Middle East, From Yugoslavia, Caucasus, Eastern Europe, Latin America, Africa, oh my God, they are everywhere... and bring there troops back home and dont occupy other countries there will be no need such countries like North Korea to develope nuclear arms. The countries will simply develope economically, will protect the social rights of their citizens, will improve the lifestyle of their citizens and so on... Nuclear arms are answers to potential US aggresion. If US stop occupying other countries and territories noone will develope nuclear arms - no need for nuclear arms.

As a matter of fact any approach to USA – Russia non-proliferation treaty – have lost the charge of actuality. The global audience is exhausted. Suppos e the world encountered only USA monopoly to “perform Hiroshima” – would it be better off than being balanced with Russia? Then, when the two nuclear superpowers were created – still existed a perfect solution. To prove perfect devotion to peace (facing the evident extent of destruction), both subjects, USA and Russia had a chance to inter-change the control gadgets of nukes in a way that USA operates Russian nukes from USA and vice versa. At least theoretically the situation would have the natural outcome in paradox to have any nukes on either sides and to bury the entire inventory. More important the TIME would have been convergent in working for both and for the planet, what the today situation fundamentally misses. This is the difference between Nietzsche and religion, to have time on your side or you run to madness. At the very moment when the nukes were exported to the new ally – the club extended to the three and defined the point of divergence or not possible control. All what was happening in the meantime was proliferation. North Korea is by no means more dangerous than Israel; it is only the indicator of the extent of global divergence from solution. Forming the families of nuclear mergers – the planet arrived to the point where no balance is possible anymore, being with or without Iran, with or without Korea. To tackle the control of the balance – no one can expect to rewind the time what was the infantile USA idea of offered political resetting. One thing is absolutely certain: to govern and to control the present difficulty – the planet needs the culture of proven peaceful experience strata, the thing being impossible with Israel taking a lead, but only with complete leaning on Russia. This is the definition point of the present nuclear status. USA and Russia have the last chance to reduce Israel’s pretending reflex to lead great powers by media on account of independent eye-to-eye dialog of the two initial superpowers. Back to Reykjavik. The point is – USA misses the personality for this challenge.

The nuclear problem is the end result, not the root problem! What we should be asking is how we can stop the world being afraid of NATO and the US. There is currently no military mechanism to stop their illegal invasions, other than nuclear weapons. Like always we are focusing on the result, rather than the cause. Without a mechanism to credibly thwart US and NATO aggression, in an international fashion, of course countries will try to look after theselves, the alternative is to be invaded, to be raped, and to be tortured.
