SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un convened top security and foreign affairs officials and ordered them to take "substantial and high-profile important state measures," state media said Sunday, indicating that he plans to push forward with a threat to explode a nuclear device in defiance of the United Nations.

A proponent of killing innocent civilians...nice.
This is why the World is on the brink f a War to end all Wars. This is the exact thinking of Nazi Germany I seem to recall from history.
Please send a post card from the front lines. I want to see your party face.
Peace
Peace

Sorry everyone, but I think I have to take the opposite view on this one. Sure it is a threat at the very least to South Korea and maybe further away as they get them developed, but that is what it is, a threat. So are many other countries out there. The only reason this is even being discussed is because they are not allies.
a new phase of the anti-US struggle that has lasted century after century, will target against the US, the sworn enemy of the Korean people
China and Russia both have Nuclear capabilities and it has caused fear for decades, but the thing is that everyone knows it would be mutual destruction if they were used. Don't you think for just one minute that this fear of North Korea may just be propaganda?
The double standards everywhere I look are really getting to me as of late. I even wrote a rant about it the other day, indecently, it is about the U.N. even. It went over everyones head apparently as I did not receive even 1 reply. I thought there would be at least one person to agree or disagree, but not 1. You can find it here (The U.N., huh, yeah, What is it good for? Absolutely nothing.
My point is, the U.S. is screaming for its guns and ways of protecting themselves, but at the same time denying another country of the same right to protect itself from the global bullies. I am not a communist nor do I agree with the life style that North Korea lives with any more than I agree with the way China does but unless they can have the deterrent there will be no serious talks about changing anything. Every time the U.N. enters a country with the intention of enforcement of the laws they themselves do not follow under the guise of installing Democracy( which is nothing more than making that country part of the system) they are only creating fear and death at their own gain.

I feel we are going to have to agree to disagree on this one, but let me say this. The United States has been getting in their business for a very long time. That can not be denied. People think the conflict with North Korea ended long ago but I can tell you from experience it has not it is simply quieter and more contained.
That said, They are not stupid and can blurt out whatever they wish. the defenses of the U.S. would stop their nuclear weapons mid pacific regardless how far they can throw them and with only 5 or 6 or 20 they would stand no chance and they are fully aware of it.
Your examples of small scale murder and rape are inconsequential as that person or persons would not be watched every second of every day where the air space around the globe is monitored without fail in many many locations and with human eyes and tracking systems also known from experience. Nothing happens in the case of a rocket, aircraft, etc. that is not seen not to mention the satellites would pick up the launch and calculate its direction and trajectory before it even left their little island.

Uninformed people may think that. The war never ended, we simply have a cease-fire.

Never understimate the stupidity of people.

So if a murderer is being watched every second of the day is perfectly cool for him to have whatever weapons he wants? You really think that? I hope not. If you do ... look at my statement above again, it's been proven true.

Thats the thing, it isn't even a cease fire. They just don't meet in the middle of the demilitarized zone they fire through it.
It will never be practical to watch a single person amongst our society so the next best thing is to take their toys away and or separate them from society whether it be a prison or banishment, but in the case o a rocket that can go for miles that is already watched so no extra work or financial payment is necessary.

You avoided my question. Fact is we can all agree even if someone is watched they shouldnt have it. If somerhing were to happen to take eyes off them, too much could go wrong. You agree with me, you just won't say it as it kills your arguments over other countries, such as N Korea, having nukes.

What did they expect? This is a child who probably has never heard the word "No" in his life, just like Paris Hilton.
You give a child a high position with real dangerous weapons and this is what you can expect. Rather than sitting back and playing his video games, he wants to test it out for real.

I personally would like to see every nuclear weapon on the planet added up and divided evenly among the nations of the World. Maybe then we can have peace.That's the thing though Nuclear weapons are not much more than a deterrent in todays day and age.
"The danger is that we could be reaching a point where nuclear weapons would become almost conventional, and there will be the possibility of a nuclear conflict at some point... that would be a turning point in human history," he said.
No, then we would have nuclear war for sure. That's like saying give everyone on the planet a gun and no gun would ever be fired. The more in the world there are the greater chance non governmental groups would get their hands on them and use them.
As far as debating, there is no point to take it to the debate forums. I will say my piece, you won't care about anything I say, counter with your opinion, and nothing will be gained. Anyone who thinks EVERY nation should have nukes does not come to that conclusion based on evidence, or on logic, but on feelings. I am not interested in debating feelings.
