When was the last time someone tested a nuke after we stated, in no uncertain terms, that it would be unacceptable.
IIRC, we attacked Iraq in part because we thought they might be able to test a nuke someday, maybe soon.
Little Kim is, if anything, farther off his rocker than Saddam ever was, or is today for that matter, and he's pretty far gone since his capture.
I'm pretty sure we raised objections to India, Pakistan and China. Regardless, there isn't much we can really do. Who knows where their facilities are loctated, they most likely have several "bombs" (and have for years) and they are no doubt spread around the country.
"we attacked Iraq in part because we thought they might be able to test a nuke someday, maybe soon."
Not true. I don't think the possibility of them "testing" a nuke ever made the list. The assumption that they possessed a large but unkown amount of WMD of various types was a real problem. So was the 16 or so UN resolutions that they'd blown off over the last couple decades. And so was the fact that they were continuously firing on our aircraft enforcing the UN resolutions. I would imagine if/when NK starts firing missiles at our aircraft, we might ratchet up the stakes a little.

I fully agree.
