lol, I can't believe you think the US has designs on invading north korea WITHOUT nuclear weapons that KJI needs them to prevent it. That's the furthest thing from the truth. If the US did half of the provoking shit to the north koreans as they do us, they would have re-invaded long ago.
exactly. The only reason the US (and they wouldn't do it alone, it would be a bunch of countries) would ever invade NK is because of KJI trying to get nukes, so claiming that he needs them as a deterrent to the US is kind of circular logic.
Really? The U.S invaded Iraq because of WMDs, and it turned out they didn't even have any. Whats so hard to believe about you guys doing the same thing to the Koreans? It probably looked to Kim Jong Il, like it looked to alot of people, that you guys just used WMDs as an excuse for an invasion, whether or not there is any truth there is irrelevant.
To someone as weird as Kim Jong Il, thats all you'd need to convince yourself that you are a potential next target. Nuclear weapons rid you off the list of countries that are likely to be invaded by americans.
