agreed. It's all about the economic allegiances. If NK was buddy-buddy nobody would give a rat ass they have nukes.
In a perfect world, NOONE would have nukes, then we wouldn't have the issue of who press the button first... however, since we have all these countries with nukes, they obviously don't want anybody else a member of that club, since it would "raise the risk"...WTF? we are risk already.
Disarming never works, since you never really know who is holding one or two just for shit and giggles "Ohhhh, you thought I got rid of all of mine???"
The whole thing sucks, like we need more tension.
