Mattis: the United States will never recognize the DPRK as a nuclear power

America, like other countries, will never recognize North Korea as a nuclear power, TASS Statement by US Secretary of Defense James Mattis.

Journalists who accompanied the minister on a trip to Vietnam asked whether he could explain why Trump's predecessors eventually recognized, for example, Pakistan or India as nuclear powers, and the current administration "took an uncompromising position on this issue in relation to North Korea."

According to Mattis, the situation in the case of the DPRK is different in that Pyongyang "violates sanctions."

All the UN countries have taken a unified position: none of the members of the international community wants North Korea to have nuclear potential. Such is the position of the United States, the Republic of Korea, China and the Russian Federation. I can also add that on the Korean Peninsula is a unique situation. There is no peace treaty (between the DPRK and the Republic of Korea), only a temporary truce was concluded (after the Korean War 1950-1953),

he said.

This is not a place in which the international community can allow the emergence of nuclear weapons,

stressed the minister.

Recall that in December last year, the representative of the DPRK at the UN, Cha Song, told us at a meeting of the Security Council that the DPRK intends to become "the most powerful nuclear and military power in the world." At the same time, he noted that “nuclear weapons are intended only for self-defense and maintaining security in the region”.

Like the DPRK does not recognize the United States as a responsible country.

[Anarchist]

Just do not see the point in recognition or non-recognition ... The fact remains that the DPRK has nuclear weapons ... And delivery vehicles! So you can not recognize forever, but have to be considered!

[cniza]

Everyone is trying to puff their cheeks, late.

[Warrior with machine gun]

fart, they might tear at last, the DPRK is already a nuclear country, but the United States has tired of many in the role of world hegemon, especially since nobody appointed them to the hegemons, except for themselves, “exceptional” gopniks.

[volodya]

It is enough that everyone knows that it is!

It’s American, not to admit a fait accompli and to powder brains to the whole world with your own tales. What needs to happen for the minke whales to recognize the DPRK as a nuclear power, North Korean nuclear rain from warheads over the United States?

Mattis: the United States will never recognize the DPRK as a nuclear power

Obvious things reach some crap only when he begins to pick out radioactive ashes from his ears! Dare, Yankees!

[Crowe]

Our allegedly beloved president is also not going to recognize the DPRK’s nuclear status. And now, the Far East is in radioactive dust? Sanctions will not be canceled until they are recognized. For a long time, North Koreans will have to eat an injury.

[siberalt]

Recognize not recognize, but the DPRK is absolutely violet!

[faiver]

no member of the international community wants North Korea to have nuclear capabilities

- you might think that someone wants the Americans to have nuclear weapons
it’s just there and you have to reckon with it

[NEXUS]

Yes, for God's sake, let them not recognize. Yes, only with their AUGs they went around the bush, and the gut was thin to start the database. Suddenly, the DPRK is nuclear.

[pvv113]

never recognizes North Korea as a nuclear power

It is like a child promising everyone to darken and close their eyes.

[cniza]

Greetings Vladimir! Eun ridiculed them in front of the whole world, and now they are trying to reason something.

[pvv113]

Good day, Victor! The Americans, thanks to Comrade Eun, have shown that they only have supermen in the movies. Eun just exposed all the ostentatious bravado of the states

[cniza]

And it turned out that GDP and the economy are not the most important indicator in life.

[pvv113]

And the size of the nuclear button in this case does not matter much

[Incvizitor]

For a long time, many near-minded people considered the world flat, because of that it was not flat.

Quote: America, like other countries, will never recognize North Korea as a nuclear power ...
Well, you probably don’t have to go broke for other countries, well, it’s also not worth it to look like a fool in the eyes of precisely “other” countries. The presence of nuclear warheads and carriers capable of delivering them at a distance of 8-12 thousand kilometers is not a convincing justification for the fact that the DPRK has become a nuclear power.
Probably the nickname of Mr. Mattis, Mad dog was incorrectly translated, the word "Mad" can be translated not only as "mad", but also as "fucking" (in the parliamentary translation of this term).

[Kent0001]

Dude wants to live in a world where the US decides everything and for everyone. The DPRK eats nuclear weapons and this is a fact, and the fact is stubborn things. Trump does not recognize Raging Dog, the next administration admits, there simply will not be another way.

[Egorovich]

I will somehow sneeze that the mattresses do not recognize the DPRK as a nuclear power. Koreans themselves are well aware that they are under their nuclear umbrella. And this is much more important for them.

[RUSOIVAN]

I directly imagine: a missile flies from North Korea to conditional California. Kim Jong-un: ayah, who did this then? We? It cannot be, we are a non-nuclear power!

[prior]

"Crazy dog" because crazy.
Do not recognize the obvious, as is typical for Americans.

[Prisoner]

Is that important for them? To them this recognition is like a fish umbrella. The main weapon is.

[Bypassed]

Well, purely kindergarten. Close your eyes and nobody will see you.
And it’s weak to even think about on which chassis the DPRK carries its gadgets and whether the PRC will specifically produce chassis modifications for the DPRK.

[dedBoroded]

Stupid facts - a golden rain in the eye.

[afrikanez]

Eun is still laughing at this Mattis statement! Koreans have long been .... for what Americans think about the DPRK.

[Alex-a832]

Everything is according to Zadornov ... The complex of exclusivity deprived the United States of sight and common sense ... Striped ones screwed up liquid, but still smelly and with a big spot on their pants, they walk with a proudly raised head.
But the king is naked!

[CAT BAIYUN]

The US will never recognize the DPRK as a nuclear power

yeah .. Until something from YABCh arrives from there.

[Geisenberg]

How convenient ... Nihachu ...

[taiga2018]

these are your problems, comrade Eunu doesn't give a damn about your non-recognition ...

[HMR333]

ridiculous statement for they have already recognized in fact!

[Alexey-74]

Recognize, do not recognize ..... only in fact this non-nuclear country (DPRK), can hammer nuclear missiles at the United States that did not recognize it ...... like this ..............

[dvvv]

But what missiles do not take off if they are not recognized by the United States? How does recognition affect the ability to explode nuclear warheads?

[RUSOIVAN]

The initial speed of the bullet does not depend on the opponent’s coolness.

[faterdom]

And Crimea will never be recognized as Russian - so what? Can the US not recognize that they are separated from the UK? After all, the latter did not give her consent?

[Old26]

We, or the Americans there, may not legally recognize North Korea as a nuclear power. Legally, in general, only 5 countries are generally members of the nuclear club and, accordingly, nuclear powers: Russia, the USA, France, England and China. All others are not legally recognized as nuclear. What is India, what is Pakistan, what is Israel, what is DPRK. But legal recognition is one thing, but in fact, these countries are nuclear. And by and large, legal recognition - this is so, IMHO a fiction. There Israel, almost half a century is actually a nuclear power and non-recognition of the legally unlikely to affect.

[vlad.svargin]

Mattis: the United States will never recognize the DPRK as a nuclear power

And the Koreans are not going to ask them, they simply create and improve in spite of the malicious statements and threats ...

[Fkjydjckfrgh]

Mattis: the United States will never recognize the DPRK as a nuclear power
Then, for presentations for threatening the world hegemon?

[Dormidont]

Even when they get a vigorous bonboy for the wort, for Merikan formally still heads the UN peacekeeping punitive mission in Korea

[Metallurg_2]

Do not recognize - well, okay. There is de facto - and this is the main thing.
This Chubby enough to turn the Redhead on a causal place)

[APASUS]

What can this change in the status of possession of nuclear weapons from Korea, from the fact that the Americans refused the fact of recognition as a nuclear power.

[earloop]

But does the DPRK need the US to recognize its status as a nuclear power?
However, the issue of recognition is a matter of states. "The giraffe is big! He knows better!"

[Stoler]

What is it like? To recognize the presence of a nuclear weapon in a country and not to recognize it as a nuclear power ??? BRAVO!!!

[Alex 2016]

Now the yellow-bellies are upset ...

[Cat Marquis]

"Do not recognize"? That is, they do not “recognize” the fact of ownership? They will say, like, “No, the DPRK does not have any nuclear weapons? So, yes? Like we-Idiot, we don’t see the obvious? What about India? Pakistan? Israel? From who -that it "does not recognize" the obvious things, the DPRK- "is not hot and not cold" -Do not want to "recognize" and want to look like fools ... -Your business.

[1536]

Obscurantists from the United States may not recognize that the Earth revolves around the Sun. In all likelihood, we will soon hear from the "exceptional" that the laws of physics in the United States do not apply.

[M. Michelson]

So that's great. And then the DPRK nuclear strike against the United States will not be considered a nuclear attack.
