Yeah but NK has their big Chinese brother on their northern border keeping the sticks from being used. |
I think the millions of men (and masses of artillery within range of Seoul) they station along the DMZ may also have had something to do with it
. They wouldn't have to try very hard to ruin a pretty huge portion of the world economy. And as long as you at least pretend to cooperate with the IAEA, we won't be coming after you militarily. This is certainly true of Iran, and to a much lesser extent Syria. And in the name of "regional stability" (read economic in most cases), I have no doubt other states will be able to acquire a nuclear capability without too much of a problem.
