[Quote Lavrov]

Even taking into account "the enemy of my enemy is my friend", I must say that the world would be much calmer if Israel, South Africa (at one time) and other Klimov had not had nuclear weapons. It is easy to release this force and when it is against your enemy, it is even very tempting, but it is extremely problematic to predict the long-term consequences. And today's friend tomorrow can easily become an enemy. Especially when it comes to authoritarian or religiously odious countries such as Iran (as, by the way, it has already happened in history). An even simpler example is Old Man. Either the best friend, or he runs to the West, as soon as it becomes more profitable. So it is with other countries.
On the other hand, the only country that has used nuclear weapons against people is the United States.
And for VO:

North Korea continues to keep South Korea, Japan and their Western allies in a state of alarm.

You write so easily that the world is in a state of readiness for a nuclear war, as if Eun and North Korea are not so far from our borders, but on some kind of Mars!
What good is an autocrat brandishing a nuclear baton? No one is attacking the DPRK, there is no acute phase of hostilities. And you are almost happy to write about such things. Aren't you afraid that this "leader" will launch a domino effect in games with his SuperEgo?

[Ezekiel 25-17]

From the domino effect, the world is holding back nuclear weapons, including North Korea, Israel, and, in the future, Iran.

[Quote Lavrov]

This is absolutely not true. And this can be seen on the example of relations between Israel and Iran in this matter. Or do you think the United States simply forced South Africa to surrender nuclear weapons?
Nuclear weapons become a stabilizing factor only in the hands of stable states, and not in the hands of monkeys with nuclear grenades and a Napoleon complex.
Let me give you an even simpler example - a weapon in the hands of an officer with 20 years of service can be a deterrent, but in the hands of an unpredictable person with gigantic complexes and incredibly painful conceit - this is already a threat.

[Quote Lavrov]

Even simpler: imagine that after the collapse of the USSR, Ukraine had nuclear weapons left.
It seems to be a fraternal country, tens of millions of family ties, and in some 25+ years what we would eventually get is a new Reich with nuclear weapons near the borders of Russia.

That's why it's scary that the United States has nuclear weapons. A monkey with a grenade is more predictable than a state that first signs various treaties on restrictions and so on, and then, at its own request, withdraws from them, moreover, requiring the opponent to comply with the requirements of these treaties.

No one is attacking the DPRK

That's why they don't attack because they have nuclear weapons. It's scary that the answer will arrive.

So NATO is at our borders, a couple of hours by car from St. Petersburg. A recent example is the flight of a B-52 simulating a nuclear attack on St. Petersburg. Here is a real monkey with a grenade and a loaded gun. Kim Jong-un's planes do not fly near the US borders, and they do not imitate strikes on their territory. He just shows you goofy gophers that if something happens, grab it. And you are afraid that you will get change. So you start here in high-flown language, like, worrying about the fate of the planet ... You are worried about the fate of your States, which, during Trump's time, Kim sent on an erotic journey and did not even say a rude word. After all, the Western media constantly repeats - an eternally hungry, impoverished country, and it treated the hegemon like a simple gopnik, broke off to the fullest. And this hegemon only blows bubbles from his nostrils, but he can’t do anything - SCARY!!!

I will give an even simpler example - a weapon in the hands of an officer with 20 years of service can be a deterrent,.

Seriously? Only an officer with 20 years of service? Are you sure? And who should an officer with 20 years of service hold back with this weapon? And the one who served for a year, or a year and a half, in the rank of officer, to give him weapons - to ban, no experience?

a weapon... ... in the hands of an unpredictable person with gigantic complexes and incredibly painful self-importance is already a threat.

The United States and its manual NATO block is the best confirmation of your words. Yugoslavia, Libya, Afghanistan and Iraq are real facts of what has been done in the world by an unpredictable personality with gigantic complexes and incredibly painful self-importance.

[Arkadich]

I fully support your opinion, but the realities of the world show that weapons technology will spread throughout the world. Iran helped us in some way, in return we definitely provided something to it.
And yes, you think that weapons of mass destruction will sooner or later end up in the hands of a suicide bomber and become gloomy.

Nuclear strike ..... where?
South Caucasus, Japan, USA.....

[Kostadinov]

As far as I understand, the United States is feeding on keeping the DPRK in an alarming state by conducting large-scale air force exercises near its borders from the territory of its protectorate of South Korea.
And naturally, the DPRK is conducting exercises to contain the United States on its territory.
This is the same as the "defensive" exercises of the United States in the Baltic states and Ukraine and the "threatening" exercises of Russia on its territory.

They are already in the hands of the leader of the suicide bombers Biden, Sunak, Von der Leyen. It's good that their environment wants to live and is holding them back for now.

So far, a nuclear strike has been only on the war on the Korean Peninsula and we see that peace is preserved there. If the DPRK was waiting for protection from Russia or the PRC, then a new war in Korea began long ago - even when Bush included the DPRK in the "axis of evil."

How nice of Eun, while Xi Jinping is with Putin in Moscow, the younger brother, the Great Father of the Korean people, comrade Kim Jong-un, is on guard of the eastern borders. Does not allow frenzied imperialism to relax.
