When he has as many functional weapons as Israel, there may be cause to worry. But granted, North Korea has long had a near lock on “crazy and punish your population for weapons”. And U.S. “defense” contractors keep working hard to match them.
“Righties”, on blogs, media, and Congress, never get the point as they try to scare up more “terror” with the public. MY point is that Israel has far more nuclear weapons than N. Korea, as well as delivery systems, and has repeatedly attacked their neighbors under the guise of “self-defense”.
Yes, the North Koreans have long waved threats in the air, and their government has long been more than a little nuts, but the REALITY of capabilities, in light of the immediate response they could expect if they acted on those threats, makes the fear-mongers inflated theories, moot. Remember, we’re still officially at war with N. Korea, as only a ceasefire was signed.
We actually never declared war on N Korea. It was listed as a Police Action, just like Vietnam. But you are correct about the cease-fire. The point I made about the nukes was the intent behind the weapons. Israel does have nukes, but they don’t test them, they don’t lob them at their enemies, and they haven’t declared that they wish to destroy xyz country. Now, compare that to their enemies (namely Palestine and Iran), who have stated they want to wipe Israel off the map. So we are worried about them getting nukes. N Korea has repeatedly threatened to destroy Japan, wants to take over S Korea, and wants to destroy us. Them getting ICBM-capable nukes, while still in their infancy, is not a good thing.
