I wasn't suggesting that... Only that Vietnam and South Korean War were anything but "stabilising" and their approach could have been different. But I like your attempt at hyperbole.

The US are the only country to have used nukes (in war) They use to have nukes in sk, now they don't, but can still strike nk anyway. So that leaves the hyperbole that NK and SK could negotiate a peace if the US withdrew. Why don't you thi

Really, you don't think the US is a destabilising element in Asia? They were involved in 2 wars that had no relevance to US security, purely for ideological reasons... They are still involved in one of those wars... They lost the other one.

That's misrepresenting US to suit US propaganda. The US leveled two countries in order to assassinate someone in a third country. It wasn't held accountable at all. You are right, morally they are not on the same level, but not the way you

Maybe you should just go google about the nazis, they invaded half the world and killed 10s of millions of people. Talk about Godwin-ing a discussion.

NK v SK conflict is not that different to India v Pakistan. The difference is... there are US troops sitting on the border of NK/SK, so agression between those to parties involves the US. So who is the destabilising force in the region?

Right, so it makes sense that the US would be worried... not why the UN should sanction them. I'm referring to the inconsistency. The implication of what you are saying is: "The UN only intervenes when it suits the US". To me that makes m

Yes, they are severe. my 'some' wasn't refering to the severity of the issues. Regardless this has nothing to do with whether sanctions should be applied for testing weapons.

Your comment is an example of why this kind of propaganda works. People start hating another country they've (likely) never been to, and likely have no understanding of their motives.

Why is it wrong that NK do Nuclear testing? I agree NK has some human rights issues, that should be addressed, but testing nuclear weapons is no different to Pakistan or India, and there are no sanctions against them.
