North Korea and Nuclear Weapons


This video, put on YouTube in 2009, discusses North Korean plans to restart their nuclear program. Despite UN restrictions on the country, they are choosing to defy the international law, and develop nuclear weapons anyways. At the time of the video, North Korea had enough uranium to create as much as 6 nuclear missiles, and has been actively testing missile launches. This video further proves that North Korea is definitely a threat should they possess nuclear weapons. Although the UN is calling for increased sanctions, this would not help stop North Korea because they are already so isolated and if they absolutely need specific resources, China could back them. Overall, the United States and other democratic countries are put in an extremely difficult situation because of North Korea’s desire to have nukes.
