Kim's Nuclear Gamble (1/6)

"The question of what to do about North Korea's determination to develop nuclear weapons" (pbs).
North Koreas recent a long range missile launch, Taepodong-2, which is believed capable of reaching the U.S. west coast, flew over northern Japan and fell into the Pacific Ocean. Communist North Korea insists that it put into orbit a communication satellite that is broadcasting patriotic songs: "Song of General Kim Il Sung" and "Song of General Kim Jong Il." But, Japan, South Korea, and the US military say there is no such sign of the object in space. The allies claim that the launch was a long-rang missile test, which is clear violation of UN resolutions adapted in 2006 after North Koreas nuclear test and previous missile launches; and its eventual aim is to develop the ability to deliver a nuclear warhead.
According to US-based North Korea expert Joseph Bermudez, countries that have bought missile parts and technology from North Korea include Iran, Egypt, Pakistan, Libya, Syria, the United Arab Emirates and Vietnam.

@finestShorty If China sanctioned the US it would hurt their economy a whole lot more than it would hurt ours. They are totally and completely reliant on us for their exports. Do you even know how the global economy works? Do inane morons like you ever stop to pull your head out of your own ass and consider reality?

@211Alucard The world is afraid of the proliferation of nuclear weapons into states that aren't 100% secure or stable. The destabilization of a nation could result in unaccounted nuclear weapons and being used against targets and we'd have no way to retaliate against a force with no borders and no centralized command. There is no comprehensive way to counter something like that.

@ArtificialRed1083 Lol you are retarded. If their people really starves, its because of American sanctions. If USA was isolated as Cuba or DPRK is, all Americans would die in 2 years. Fuck off, from free nations! You are just angry because you cant bully DPRK, because they have nukes. Bye bye USA, DPRK is free!

This so-called documentary is not worth watching, because you simply cant trust the biased fear-mongering that it provides. Its clearly a propaganda-movie. And besides, its just horribly made. Save your time and instead find another source, preferably a British one.
