People aren't literally starving so making it harder for them to buy food and necessary items the only way they can is totes humanitarian. I took glee in evicting a homeless guy and am on the right side of history.

Has the DPRK made an official protest to the UN about how international banking sanctions are making it difficult for its citizens to buy food from illegal black markets yet? Maybe you should drop them a tip Fiction

Sabre rattling about nuking America (NK's very valid enemy, considering we destroyed their entire country 50 years ago) is way worse than having enough nukes and the means to actually destroy the world, and then electing a senile reality TV show host President.

As it's been pointed out, no, in fact Russia did not threaten to nuke the US every time the eternal science of marxist leninsm caused a crop failure. That's really the thing about you new era totalitarian fanboys, you don't know any actual history, just vague overarching themes full of inaccurate or misleading bullshit

http://www.wnd.com/2017/03/north-korea-threatens-nuclear-strike-if-single-bullet-is-fired/ http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-35741936 Give me one example of any other country making threats like this. Not that would prove anything, because we should be doing everything in our power to reduce all nuclear stockpiles. If Russia did somehow regularly talk about nuking other countries, we would want them to get rid of their nukes even more than usual.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_bombings_of_Hiroshima_and_Nagasaki On August 6, the U.S. dropped a uranium gun-type (Little Boy) bomb on Hiroshima, and American President Harry S. Truman called for Japan's surrender, warning it to "expect a rain of ruin from the air, the like of which has never been seen on this earth."

Fast Luck posted:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_bombings_of_Hiroshima_and_Nagasaki yes, the US should never have started the war of aggression against glorious nippon in the first place. I mean, the other big difference is that Harry S Truman wasn't engaging in tinpot dictator hyperbole, he was going to keep dropping bombs until they surrendered.

Fast Luck posted:Well, the more accurate reason to support the DPRK developing nuclear weapons might be the example of Iraq, where they halted WMD production and were invaded and destroyed anyway. 1,000,000 people died. 3,000,000 people died in Vietnam, which we also invaded. We have the DPRK in our crosshairs and routinely hold mass military exercises just south of their border. Nuclear weapons are a pretty good deterrent against belligerent nations that invade and topple governments around the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nuclear_close_calls If you read through something like this and honestly think promoting any country to have a nuclear deterrent is a good idea, you are the dumbest and most dangerous kind of stupid motherfucker on the planet.

NK having nukes is, geopolitical and/or proliferation concerns aside, way worse than Iran or Israel or Apartheid South Africa having nukes because of very real concerns about some faction in their military conducting an attack without authorization from Pyongyang. There was speculation that attacks of this type occurred with the sinking of Cheonan or the shelling of Yeongpyeong. While using nukes in an attack like this would be a massive escalation, it would also virtually ensure full-scale war, even if nukes were not used in retaliation. If a faction within their military wanted war, and had a nuke, they could virtually guarantee it. While NK wants them for the exact same reason that every other country does: it is the most powerful deterrent to invasion/attack that a country can possess, the concern of the North actually using their nukes in a non-retaliatory way is far, far, far higher than any other nuclear-armed state and that alone is a good enough reason for me for them to not have them, politics aside.

North Korea is 19.5% arable land, South Korea is 15.3% arable land. Sounds like the US should have taken some more of NK if that was the goal, but then again South Korea's economy isn't run by a bunch of broke brained totalitarian psychopaths so they figured out how to feed themselves. South Korea also exports $4b worth of food a year, which is probably more than NK produces in total. any other wrong claims you want to make here?
