That's the failed logic of these people; they build nukes, we try to stop them, and their response is we're gonna nuke you for not wanting us to have nukes!. They pretty much affirm our reasons for not wanting them to have nukes in the first place, all the while making it seem like we're the unreasonable ones.    Do they really think the US is afraid? All I see is a daddy's boy dictator who hasn't learned from history and is playing dangerous games. We've taken down a couple of dictators in just the last decade alone.     See, these smaller nations don't just want nukes just to nuke people, they want them as leverage in international negotiations, which they want to balance in their favor unfairly. But what they fail to realize is sure people are taking them 'seriously', but not in a positive way. They seek to elevate themselves with the threat of a pushed button, but fail to see that they're just digging their own graves. It's not only wrong to use nukes as a pre-emptive strike, it's also wrong to use them as leverage, which EVERYONE, including Russia, has done....EXCEPT the US. Once the US had nukes, Russia soon followed for leverage.     I think they're running cover for Iran too though, Korea and Iran are two hands of the same body and mindset. They could be pulling a slight of hand, saying look over there while the other hand is doing something more sinister. They're working together in some capacity.    As for Iran, we'd never invade them on foot. They're too crazy, they'd just nuke the beach heads and call it justified. I think it's about time we do start dropping nukes on Iran and Korea. They wanna play games? Let's show them a taste of their own medicine.
