| Post; Good for them.
I think now that North Korea is a self-declared nuclear power they can rest a bit easier and hopefully become a bit less paranoid.
I'm almost certain Kim and his circle will not use the nukes unless provoked militarily, I'm also certain that they're aware of the fact that they would be removed from the face of the earth if they were the first to launch a nuke.
Kim was put into a position to preserve communism in north korea, although through a sort ascension from his fathers death, it would make very little difference if it was Kim or a council appointed communist leader.
This is not so much a conflict between a psycho and the reasonable world as it is a conflict between one of the few remaining communist systems and the free globalised capitalist system.
I hope what follows next is the west coming to accept a nuclear north korea, removing debilitating economic sanctions, and finally allowing the north korean people to enjoy the prosperity that we enjoy in the west.
If the whole world needs to go nuclear to find equality, i'm all for it, and if the world is destroyed in the struggle for equality then it's a valid cost.
Just my 2 cents.
Next is Iran's turn I persume. |
