North Korea vs USA

[Elbow beards]

Simple question, why are NK not allowed nukes but other countries such as USA are? I'm against nukes all together but just want to know the reasoning. Why do we and a few others have this "deterrent" but the others aren't allowed?

Would you allow a lunatic, to have access to nukes?... Oh wait, I see your point.

Maybe it's something to do with the leaderships of certain countries. If anything kicked off between North Korea and the us/South Korea/Japan, North Korea wouldn't think twice about launching their new shiny toy.

Yup...he sounds like a complete barm-pot, others suggesting the Trump is anywhere near this fat little monster are deluded and slightly strange. Wearing an "I don't like nukes" t shirt isn't going to be the best deterrent either.

Because America would never use a nuclear weapon.

Revisionism doesn't always pan out as the best option. You could always negate their badly thought out decision to drop the big one twice by saying the Japanese ideology and the fact they bombed PH was an excuse with some merit.
The point is that walking round with a ban the bomb t shirt isn't going to prevent Pakistan NKorea (Imagine if the Saudis get one?) having these weapons.

There are a lot of contrary politics in the west now, but it's generally the same people who don't like Brexit who don't like Trump and are saying Fat Sum Kim isn't worse than the Nazi loving stormtrooper with the skin of a jaffa :)

Trump's response is to tell South Korea that they shouldn't be appeasing North Korea and threatening to withdraw from a free trade agreement with them. That'll stop Kim in his tracks.

So it appears if we believe what we are told from the media that North Korea are getting closer and closer to having a viable nuclear capability. If this is the case and given the speed that they appear to be developing this threat what should be done about it?
Where will they stand in 5 years time if they go unchecked?
Is there an argument to put a stop to this now by force if required, and if so what would the ramifications be?
