I've been recently reading allot about north korea, and been reading about Iran.
Korea and Iran claim they need power, yet they say they also need weapons to defend themselves.
We're slowly moving into a world where power is greatly needed, a perfect example is computing demands, computers need power, and their uses are expanding rapidly, along with electronic goods.
They obviously NEED an upgraded and more robust power source, nuclear being the perfect solution, but are willing to make weapons as well.
Do you think a war will happen to stop this power struggle? "Rumors" that korea already have 4 to 6 weapons, and are receiving technology to deliver them to long distances...
It's kinda scary if ya think about it.
Gee, and I thought power was economical and poltiical, but it's the big quest for nuclear computers.... ¡Cool, dude!
When I say power, I mean electricity.
Correct. Also, from the point of view of north Korea, it is desirable to have nuclear weapons to deter war on the Korean peninsula and to defend their sovereignty. I believe they have this right. Even so, what the north Koreans really desire is the denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula.
A war with Iran is my view inconceivable in the near future.
A war with Iran is less to think about, but N.Korea is not.
N.Korea have already said that a Nuclear holocaust with the US is guaranteed in the near future, and that their national goals are the complete and final destruction of the USA.

No they have not. On the contrary they have made it clear that their intention is the peace and the denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula as a whole.
"No they have not. On the contrary they have made it clear that their intention is the peace and the denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula as a whole."
That is totally untrue, it was only in Janurary that Korean Generals were on Tv in a documentary stating that the national goal is the complete and final destruction of he USA, they were his exact words! Their worst enemy is the US, they hate the US more than they hate the south. You should look into it, they are only saying things about de-nuclearization because pressure is building up from all directions.
firstly welcome to our just-hatched newbies
I know little about this, but what i do know is one principle: Every country(also everyone) has own benefits.

Now you are just lying. Such things are never said on DPRK television. I am very well acquainted with the DPRK. I have seen DPRK television, and I have been to the country.

They do not hate the south. But yes, they do hate the US imperialists.

No, I think
you should look into. Your ignorance of the situation is appaling.
