The Nuk Race

The nuclear race is run by a narcissist United States of America leader, Donald Trump, against, predominantly, The Fatboy Kim the Third of The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. The relationships went haywire in July 2017 as North Korea’s missile threat grew, with 18 missiles fired since February 2017.
As North Korea exited the Six Treaties talks in 2003, alarming the rest of the globe, North Korea started to build more nuclear weapons with China’s support. Resultantly, United Nations imposed sanctions on North Korea, with the US ambassador to the UN saying, “we should not fool ourselves into thinking we have solved the problem….Not even close. The North Korean threat has not left us.” The race is intimidatory, as North Korean spokesperson said, ”It is a fatal miscalculation if the countries in the UN would even think that they can delay or hold in check the eye-opening development of the North’s nuclear forces.” Consequently, President Donald Trump vowed to unleash “fire and fury” on North Korea.
How will the world disarm from nuclear weapons? 15 contributing countries in the Security Council, are left to decide the fate of the world. They should consider the bigger picture as there are controversial states like Israel, which is going through the Jerusalem crisis and will not hesitate to use their nuclear weapons.
As the situation is unravelling, we should remember: “Nuclear weapons CAN BE dismantled, but CANNOT BE uninvented.”
