Ultimately, while the NK situation is unlikely to do anything in that direction, in the long term I don't see any sane counterargument to the notion that either we're going to have some form of a world government with an (enforced) monopoly over nuclear weapons or nuclear war. It's not going to happen any time soon and I think it's likely we're going to have to go (or, rather, try to survive through) another world war to get there, but the usual anti-globalist arguments seem to completely ignore the extent to which the technological developments of the 20th century have irreversibly changed the world.
