Besides France, Japan and South Korea - who else can complain that a sovereign nation chooses to exercise it's right and obligation to to arm and protect itself?
Given the history of the West - isn't it Kim Jung-un's responsibility to develop an up to date weapons system that is capable of discouraging and repelling any foreign invaders?
Was listening to NPR today and someone mentioned that from North Korea's perspective the U.S. is very unpredictable and has a long history of invading countries. So it seems it's in their best interest, from their perspective, to develop those weapons to keep the US at bay.
Concerning to whom the fault of oppression belongs; "We are not all equally guilty but we are all equally responsible" - Rabbi Abraham Hescel
Concerning blaming others for the problem; "...And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?... - Matthew: 7 1-5
Concerning how to fix the problems concerning oppression; "Someone once said that the word 'motivation' should never be used in the singular. Some combination of motives always exist and it's impossible for anyone to qualify the proportion of each that is involved in any given act" - Warren Buffet (in an interview in the USA Today)
