If we are to assume that North Korea becomes a nuclear-power state, of course the danger of having an all-out nuclear war, that possibility is very slim.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The greatest threat that the world faces is a nuclear Iran. A nuclear North Korea is already troubling enough.
Once a major military confrontation occurs, North Korea will definitely be annihilated.
It's very certain that North Korea is developing nuclear weapons for offensive purposes. They don't need nuclear weapons to defend their own country.
The larger picture here is that a North Korea with nuclear weapons adds to the larger proliferation risk.
North Korea is going to get away with keeping its nuclear weapons.
We can not underestimate the potential harm North Korea's capabilities can cause for the rest of the world.
When George W. Bush came into office, North Korea had maybe one nuclear weapon and verifiably wasn't producing any more.
There is a different future that is available to North Korea, if they choose differently.
So South Korean ability is very much limited to handle North Korean, you know, difficulties. So we don't want to see an immediate collapse of the North Korea regime.
None of us are nuclear experts, but we know that if there is a melt-down and breach of containment, that's clearly the most odious thing that could happen.
