„NK poses no real harm“ the people suffering under a brutal militaristic dictatorship. Starving and possibly worked to their death if they disagree even slightly with the state or dare to question their leader might disagree.
I did neglect to mention I meant external harm. But I wonder does surrounding them with guns and nukes make their state more likely to demilitarize? I feel like it does not.
Fair enough, I mean they are also increasingly posing a threat to external entities, didn’t a recent missile test fly over Japan? But in general I do not think NK is a positive influence on the world, much less once they can build and deploy nuclear weapons. In any case the original article really isn’t news as the us has the ability to strike basically anywhere on the planet with nuclear weapons. But I do agree that it won’t have a demilitarizing effect, however I doubt anything could have.
