| North Korea IS stupid because it's an isolationist communist state.
But it's threat is not as bad as Iraq in that it hasn't INVADED neighboring countries, and it hasn't used chemical weapons on it's neighbors or on it's people.
Having said that, however though, North Korea IS still dangerous because of it's starving people. The fear is that North Korea, if left to make nuclear weapons, may turn into a nuclear weapons Kmart where it'll sell off nuclear weapons to highest bidders ( i.e. terrorists and terrorist states ) in order to feed it's cold, starving people.
Why don't they just give up Communism and turn into Capitalists? Don't they know the majority of Communism doesn't work???
But yes, North Korea's actions is causing tensions for both South Korea, Japan, and the U.S. to start an arms race all over again. Although the U.S. doesn't need to.
N. Korea just needs to get their heads out from their rears and smell the world. | |
