Does NK produce and sell drugs?

As far as I know no. Arms sales is about 25% of North Korea economy as far as I know. No drugs coming from North Korea unlike Afghanistan with the Taliban.

The thing is Myanmar is a military junta ruled country. When responsible international law abiding countries possess nuclear arms the risk is minimal that these weapons would get into the wrong hands as as terrorists.

Proliferation of nuclear arms must be stopped otherwise what would deter any other countries from possessing them and hence changing the global order and risking greater global nuclear catastrophe than even what the cold war brought. I mean it was dangerous enough for the Soviet Union and US to proliferate them and that risk would be multiplied exponentially if every third world country wants to proliferate them too.

Nuclear arms are strategic weapons and thus have strategic consequences and not merely tactical. Its effect is thus long lasting and could potentially destabilize the world order and starts a new arms race between multi polar multi countries faction. This is INSANE.

In simple words when everybody has got nuclear arms everybody resorts to conventional war without fear of nuclear retaliation. And in order to minimize their fear of nuclear retaliation they would proliferate nuclear arms contributing even more risk to global nuclear war. Fear is never rational thing so once a country possesses nuclear arms they will proliferate them just to feel safe or guarantee their nuclear deterrence to remain effective and the other faction would do likewise in response.

even kids can see through this logic


The thing that dumbfounded me is when Pakistan went as nuclear power so did India. So any advances by superpower to arm any other country with nuclear arms would result in the nuclearalization of that country's natural enemy to maintain global balance and world order. But when somebody transferred nuclear arms know how to North Korea, South Korea and or Japan didn't go nuclear as well.
