I love the way no one really seems to be taking the North Korean nuclear threat very seriously.
Despite the fact that the North Koreans have nuclear weapons, have announced that they are expanding their nuclear weapons programme, and have publicly declared that they will use nuclear weapons.
No one seems to be particularly very worried.
In contrast Iran has no nuclear weapons and has publicly declared that they have no intention of acquiring any, and yet we are told by the US, British, and Israeli governments, that we should be extremely worried indeed.
It seems as if not having nuclear weapons causes more concern than actually having them.
Or are we simply reassured by the fact that because the North Koreans are quite clearly completely bonkers they pose no threat to anyone ?
There is clearly a great deal of difference between the perceived nuclear threat posed by North Korea and Iran as offered to us by US/British governments, but it defies all logic.
Of course one country has a great deal of oil and the other has no oil at all – perhaps the clue lies there ?
