Also, the US is the only country to ever have used nukes in combat, a fact that is celebrated by most Americans, with rhetoric like “we’ll do it again too!” being common among right-wing Americans. During the Korean War, the US’s top general also seriously considered nuking China.
I ask again, who is the violent regime threatening to bring about nuclear apocalypse?
If you have followed what they say in James Bond movies, you should know! The Russian are evil and they eat children sometime.
It’s worth noting that those numbers around nuclear arsenals are apples to oranges. The US and North Korea maintain different classes of arsenals. For the US, the goal is mutually assured destruction for a global power. North Korea is really only worried about regime survival, so their arsenal (along with the artillery targeting South Korea) need only be a regional threat. Neither is particularly intended to be used except to threaten.
