Kim Jong-Il tested nuclear arms, So what? So did Pakistan, India, Peoples Republic China, France ,UK and the Big daddy-USA and many more countries like Iran, Israel and so on who still maintain their “Ambiguity”. Do I really think North Korea is going to use the nuclear weapons-No.? And why is it you may ask? Here goes my reasoning: First of all I think that nuclear weapons act as deterrents .They prevent from being at a risk of pre-emption. You have it I have it, so don’t play dirty politics and bring yourself to the table we can always negotiate. The big daddy of the world invented it and used it against Japan and was very proud when Japan surrendered. There celebrations did not last many years, within 4 years Russia developed the nuclear weapons and the power was polarized between the west and east. America was forced and pulled to the table to negotiate during the cold. War. It had to and who knows better the outcomes of the nuclear energy than the one who invented it. I think there is nothing to worry at this point, everything that we had to be worried about happened already. Who would actually risk loosing their country and the power to rule one when they know what the consequences would be. Insane people like Kim Jong you may say, Bordering the economic and political gaint,China, N.Korea will not dare to use them and even if it did it would be wiped out off the map before it celebrates the destruction of its enemy(Who ever this could be).
Nuclear arms race has been playing an important part since the Second World War. Though the UN has come up with the sanctions not to enrich uranium, Can it actually have an open debate with countries that do want to enrich? The answer is “NO” again- Because it cannot debate with people like Ahmadinajad and Hugo Chavez who use “Logic”. It cannot do anything more than condemning the violation of policies and by the way “Who Cares” even if they condemn. One thing I don’t understand is that, if all the major powers in this world are working towards “World Peace”, why not these countries take the initiative of disarming them and set an example-The answer is “NO” again because the world politics have worsened to such an extent that the major powers cannot risk the consequences of not having them.
Though India gained its independence through nonviolence , it still developed nuclear and hydrogen bombs why? Does it not believe in the Gandhian way? You might say that having a country that possesses nuclear weapons bordering it, the need arises. Don’t you think the same logic applies N.Korea?
I am reminded of Iran’s President recent quote, “Nuclear activities, such as uranium enrichment, are for peaceful purposes”.Reading between the lines, Of course they are for peaceful purposes hindering other nations by having a Second Strike Capability-Promotes world peace (by avoiding war) in a way- isn’t it?
Note: I am not supporting N.Korea or its anarchic ruler. My opinion is that World Politics are better when left unintervened and this supposes to be an “Irrelevant Logic”.
