If NK sells the technology to non-state actors, it gets far more complicated. NK sold a nuclear facility to Syria that the Israelis blew up. They have sold long range missiles to Iran. If the US continues to let NK and Iran thumb their noses at us and our allies, eventually countries like Japan and Saudi Arabia will acquire nuclear weapons rather than depend on the US security umbrella.

I agree with McCain on this one.

I understand what you’re saying and agree on the dangers, but on what grounds does one country or a group of countries tell another sovereign nation what defensive or offensive weapons it can have or sell?

For years the U.S. has been the defense guarantee mechanism for Saudi Arabia, Israel, south Korea, Germany as well as others.
None of these pay for the security we provide. And most treat us like crap.
I for one am tired of being the worlds cops.
Let the dogs of the world kill one another.
Do I really care if Iran and Saudi Arabia have nukes and destroy each other?
Tired of seeing our boys killed for others.
