 |
|
Pentagon listed the DPRK as one of the five nuclear powers
| Quote: |
North Korea, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), could not have been happier to see its membership in such exclusive company fully acknowledged by the military machine of its worst enemy. For a moment Pyongyang stood tall beside China, Russia, India and Pakistan as an Asian nuclear power.
Pyongyang's Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported that "Joint Operating Environment 2008", a confection of fact and analysis put together by the US Joint Forces Command, marked "the first time that the US officially recognized the DPRK as a nuclear weapons state and announced it in its government report". |
What incompetence. Disgusting.

Isreal may have nuclear, but has never formally declared the fact.
Iran and Syria are known to have advancing nuclear development programs. |

The DPRK is not a recognized nuclear power, and neither is Israel, Pakistan, or India.
The NPT only recognizes nuclear states before 1967.
There's a distinction between proper nuclear powers and de facto nuclear powers. And the Pentagon just forgot that distinction. |
