while the superpowers hold an alarming number of nuclear weapons it is hypocritical of them to expect another country to disarm.

I agree, but NK is a special case.
Their possession of such weapons makes millions of people hostage to an irrational dictator in probably the most cruel and repressive regime in the world.

UK is not in range of him yet, although devices can be delivered by truck as well as missile.
If I had family on West Coast USA or Japan I would be worried.

That is not just my view, or just Trump's.
All previous administrations including Obama and Clinton have considered a nuclear NK unacceptable.
All wrong? All uninformed? All hypocrites?

Jeri, I understand I can not make Dave jump through hoops, or apparently even ask him to, but may I be allowed to point out when his assertions are based on no actual knowledge or any evidence?
That they are just a vacuous whim with no basis in fact.
