North Korea tests Nuclear Capability

North Korea is now threatening to carry out a nuclear weapon test. North Korea argues that this is its only way of defending itself against the threat of the US administration to attack North Korea.

In fact, an increase in armament is now a global trend. The misguided US foreign policy is a main reason for this trend. The US administration has set the standard of "might is right" and that less armed states have no say.

The proliferation of nuclear weapons in the world can end humanity as we know it. The more they spread, the more is the chance of an error like Chernobyl. But surely a balance of power must still be safer than a single super power.

North Korea, Iran and Venezuala have decided that they will not respond to the bullying tactics. Now the only country that has used the nuclear weapon against civilians is giving North Korea the choice between its own future and carrying out the nuclear test.
