and that's all we need !

Sop it is OK for the north to have nuclear weapons but not the south?

I don't think it is OK for anyone to have Nuclear Weapons - North / South / East / West where do you stop /

and I am sure there must be better solutions than arming everyone to the teeth /

We're already in over our heads! I can't imagine the US putting a nuke in S. Korea. They've know about this for some time. It's just now being publically reported. At least that's what I understand from the news reports yesterday.

N. Korea has been rumored to be supplying Burma with nuclear weapons also...wouldn't that be nice?

North Korea has reportedly been supplying Burma with technology for Burma to eventually produce nuclear weapons. They do not have them yet. But this is as you say very bad news.

There will be semi-sane help from the US for S Korea, for a couple more years anyway.

The US is already capable of delivering a nuke up the dear leaders arse should such a need arise. I am pretty sure that Tokyo which is threatened by NK can put together a nuke in about 15 minutes if called on to do so. This is all just saber rattling as mutual destruction is already guaranteed in such an event. SK would lose Seoul but NK would no longer exist given the military reality of it. If China gets involved we are all dead anyway.

Not Southeast Asia-related. Closed.
