North Korea Declares Itself a Nuclear Power; Yet Says It Is Committed to Nuclear-Free Korean Peninsula

In the latest series of contradictions coming from North Korea’s propaganda machine, North Korea publicly declared itself a nuclear power, yet says that Pyongyang is committed to a nuclear-weapons free Korean peninsula.

It should be pointed out that North Korea can do that immediately by unilaterally disarming. If it has atomic or nuclear weapons, it can turn them over to IAEA control or sell them to Russia or China, which already possess nuclear weapons and the means to dispose of them.

It is doubtful that the U.S. will attack North Korea unless it is provoked, or North Korea starts a conflict, which it has done in the past. If a war starts between North Korea and the United States, it will be because North Korea attacks South Korea or Japan, thereby ensuring the destruction of the North Korean regime. North Korean possession of atomic arms makes an American attack MORE likely rather than deterring it.

Pyongyang should get with the program, disarm, get rid of the communists, hold free elections and then open talks with the south to move toward reunification and make Korea one free and independent nation.

The North Korean leadership doesn’t care about the people of North Korea; they just want to stay in power and are willing to use the nuclear gambit to get their way with their neighbors and with America. In the wake of losing millions of people to starvation over the last few years, they have chosen to focus the anger of the North Korean people on the U.S. and South Korea to stay in power, instead of taking responsibility and feeding their people. That is what’s really going on here.
