Why can’t North Korea test nuclear weapons?
May 26, 2009
I don’t understand why it is reported as something abhorrent in the West when North Korea (and Iran for that matter) do anything that suggests they have nuclear ambitions. I checked up on an unnamed but highly reliable internet encyclopaedia which countries have nuclear weapons. They are:
United States, Russia, UK, France, China, India, Pakistan, Israel and North Korea.
North Korea have about 0.2% of the amount of nuclear weapons that are possessed by the United States. Therefore, I don’t understand the uproar. How come the other countries are allowed nuclear weapons but North Korea aren’t. Could somebody please enlighten me?

Yes, the paradox or tragedy is that this globe is ruled by Mr.’might’, never by Mr.’right’.

Yes I agree. I’d be really interested if anybody knows any reasons why some of us are allowed nukes and others aren’t.

I think partly it’s down to the fact that their leader appears to be a raving mad, petulant child.
The risk is that he would launch one if the worlds media stops giving him attention for longer than a month.
