It's rather hypocritical for the U.S. to have thousands of nuclear weapons and to have had them for over 60 years and yet still be against other countries gaining access to weapons. Let's not forget that the United States is the only country to ever use a nuclear bomb in a war. Only country to have had both the means and the war that merits using it. Rigged comparison. And the US has the maturity to be trusted with nukes, N Korea doesn't. It's not hypocritical for an adult to drive and be against a retarded child being behind the wheel of a car. Come on.. The U.S dropped those 2 nukes for purely research and revenge. There was no need to drop one let alone two nukes of differing designs on a populated a region. A simple request for a delegation to see a nuclear detonation would have ended the war.
Those are not at all the reasons the US dropped the bombs. Either way, it is a bit hypocritical, but that's why we're in talks for START II and if Obama smartly backs down on Poland's missile shield, both the US and Russia will continue reducing our nuclear arms.
Let avoid making this another Hiroshima debate thread. o.O

North Korea threatens 'Strong Steps' A North Korean diplomat warns "strong steps" would follow should the UN take action against the country after its launch of a satellite on Sunday. The UN Security Council has been debating whether North Korea should be punished for the launch. The US, Japan and key European powers say the launch was a ballistic test in clear violation of a UN resolution. China and Russia have been more cautious, saying they are yet to be convinced Pyongyang broke the rules. Pyongyang says the test of the three-stage Taepodong-2 rocket was a success, putting a satellite into orbit which is now transmitting data and revolutionary songs.bbcnews
Don't worry everyone - they were only setting up North Korea's own Sirius radio system! Revolutionary songs for all of the impoverished commonfolk!
Every time North Korea does stuff like this I just cannot force myself to take them seriously.

A bit like when an American satellite mysteriously falls out of orbit and the American armed forces are forced to blast it out the sky to stop the debris from falling on people.
A missile test like that would normally be against the International treaty.
Or how about when the American armed forces mysteriously blow up the Chinese embassy while attempting to bomb strategic military targets.

Dude I'm not condoning/condemning what the U.S. or North Korean governments practices of international law have been.
I just find these comments by North Korean officials that are filled with this sort of happy go lucky shit hilarious. If they want to go ahead and insist that the rocket was launched with nothing but peaceful intentions, that's fine, just don't give this bullshit excuse that it's for "revolutionary songs."

Sorry, I just don't see how it's funny myself. It's just the usual bullshit, plausible deniability.
