North Korea is known to have performed 2 underground tests of a fission device, the first on 10/9/06 (not fully successful) and the second on 5/25/09 (believed successful).Two days later, they unilaterally withdrew from the 1953 Cease-Fire agreement between them and South Korea (tantamount to a declaration of war) is also extremely troubling. They already posses the ballistic missile capability; possessing the warhead to go with it would fundamentally shift the balance of power in the Asiatic region.
Unlike more responsible nations, North Korea wouldn't hesitate to use nukes if it served their interest. However, in doing so they'd likely lose everything - such a irresponsible act would not go unpunished lightly.
They got it in 2003, the jewel of bush's crown
no
Because they are deadly people
North Korea believes it requires nuclear weapons because just like any other leader, a bomb of that strength equals power. Why do you think everyone is so scared that they might get one? They know he might then use it. It is a scary thought for the State Department.
Neither the US nor Russia are making nuclear weapons of any kind at this time. Other countries however are making nuclear weapons; some are North Korea, India, and Pakistan.
North Korea does. Not South Korea.
The information given to the general public (me & you) leads to the conclusion; North Korea has nuclear arms, but struggles to maintain the weapons.
north korea
yes
North Korea's development of nuclear weapons has served as a major deterrent for Western incursions into North Korea as well as increased fear from democratic neighbors like Japan and South Korea.
Many countries have nuclear weapons today including the United States. China, North Korea, South Korea, and Japan also have nuclear weapons.
No. Al though, North Korea does possess 5-6 nuclear weapons
The US is strongly opposed to the North Korean nuclear weapons program and has been trying very hard to discourage North Korea from building nuclear weapons, although as we have seen, North Korea is building them anyway, in defiance of all forms of international pressure from the US or the UN.
They are making nuclear weapons.
Not during the Korean war...
iraq, north korea
They arn't stupid, they designed them themselves.
