### Comment:
You say that as though NK didn't exist for decades without nuclear arms. Clearly a bit more goes into the equation.

### REPLY:
But no one attacks a country with a nuke.  They negotiate with them.  So why wouldn't you want to have at least one nuke at your disposal if you're the leader of a country that's surrounded by military basis of a country that doesn't see you as an ally?
