North Korea has passed a new law declaring itself a nuclear weapons state in a move leader Kim Jong Un says is "irreversible."

Well, that’s nice. Another Brandon success story in international diplomacy. His State Dept is right on top of the case.

This makes sense considering what happens to everyone else who gives up their nukes: Libya, Iraq, Syria, Ukraine, and Canada.

Yes. NorKor comes across like Grand Fenwick from time to time, comically pretending to be someplace anybody would see a reason to invade.

Does Canada count, since it’s their own Prime Minister who is destroying it?

NoKo is at the forefront of the transition to eating bugs.
Holland may want to invade them to steal their supply.

Libtards have only been financing their nuclear development since Clinton much like they do for Iran now where the result will be the same

“The new law also enshrines Pyongyang’s right to use preemptive nuclear strikes to protect itself...”
As a special bonus, that comes with the right to RECEIVE nuclear strikes from those who feel threatened by NK.

There are still bugs in North Korea?
I thought they would have been eaten by now.
