   The idea that its begun to believe its own propoganda is scarier than any nuclear threat to the U.S.  So much for Kim Jong-Un being better than his father.

   I believe that any nation that continually harrases another is a threat to the one doing the harrasing. The US has for too long bullied many nations and N.Korea being one of them.
   Also, I am not a fan of nuclear weapons, but as long as the US has them, I believe countries like N Korea, Iran etc must have them for the purpose of defence and ballancing power.

      There is no reason for Iran to have nuclear weapons. They are too unstable to do such. They would blow Israel off of the map starting World war III.

      there is no need for the US (most unstable nation in the world)  to have them either. Considering they are the only nation to have ever used Nuc's...not once but twice and on civillians. It's too bad that such evil devices exsist.

      That was a necessity of war. Our leaders aren't a bunch of Islam extremists who are so irresponsible as to attack another nation unprovoked. That is just utter nonsense. The Iranians have proved they are a rogue nation who cannot be trusted with nucs

      so u believe it is ok to murder civillians? The US leaders may not be islam extremists, but they are extremists of another sort. Illegal invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. Attempting to force others to bend to their will, and if not then threaten.

      No-one.  In the 80's the US funded and armed what would become the Taliban to overthrow the socialist government of Afghanistan.  The legitimate government requested Soviet assistance to quell the terrorists.  Intervention, not invasion.

       I think you are quite confused.  Under the socialist government girls went to school with boys, became doctors, nurses and teachers.  It was the US who backed the islamist terrorists to overthrow this and the Soviet Union who defended womens rights,.

       All states have class oppression.  I only care the character of the oppression and who is being oppressed.  Rather than the minority exploiting the majority like in most states, I support the toiling majority oppressing the minority ex-exploiters.

   It is more of a direct threat to South Korea and Japan which are allies of the US.  The only threat to the US is that they potentially dispurse dangerous weapons to terrorists groups which could be smuggled inside the US and used to kill Americans.  As of now they do not have a serious enough capability with intercontinental ballistic missiles.  But who knows what they will have in the future.  The hope of the oppressive regime ending with the death of his father has been dashed.  Looks like he is even worse.  More North Koreans will simply starve.
