By the way, OP - what do you think about South Korea and their right to live in independent state without North Korea threatening them? You know ,same South Korea full of happy South Koreans enjoying their South Korean peaceful lives without any desire to follow ideas of Juche under leadership of undead Eternal President...
See,from reading your posts i get a certain uneasy feeling that this is North Korean propaganda for foreigners but maybe i am wrong.

Having nukes and threatening to use them are completely different things; if I possess a gun am I threatening anyone? No. If I tell you that I'm going to shoot you with my gun I am threatening you.

A gun and a nuke are two comparability different things. One causes millions of dollars in damage, not to mention environmental effects, Nukes can kill people long after its detention. Im sure you have seen the videos of Nuclear detonations, do you think anybody survives that kind of detonation?
A gun, they can kill, and have killed way more people than nukes ever have, over hundreds of years. Although dealing death with guns means means there are two sides, one side may survive or the other or both.
dealing death with nukes means immediate none existence with the push of a button. If you were to go to war would you rather be part of a gun war, or a nuke war?.
With all Americas nukes placed strategically all around the world, the other world leaders know we pose a threat everyday.
And no i dont think the act of possessing a gun is threatening. I will tell you this, I personally keep a mental note of the people i know have guns, and the people in my neighborhood that i know have guns. I wonder what kind of notes that other countries keep on americas nukes, i am sure they have that note from ww2 about the 2 times america used nukes as war tactics, and just as the radiation lingered at the places American abombs were dropped, so lingered americas continuous threat as a nuclear powerhouse.

This contrasts with 1991 in the period prior to launching the Gulf War against Iraq, when President George Bush Sr. threatened that if Iraq used chemical weapons, the U.S. might retaliate with nuclear weapons. Bush was later forced to write that he did not really intend to carry out the threat.

You call owning a handgun detterence when it fact it is not. In order for it to be deterrence you must broadcast publicly that you own and possess a handgun and are willing to use it.
A handgun or weapon is for protection unless you abide by the opposing side of the law.
Saying you have a nuke for protection is a threat.
