North Korean Nukes Declared Red Line For U.S

Policy question arises over military threats to Iran while taking softer line with Pyongyang

WASHINGTON – If Iran is a red line for the United States in terms of possessing nuclear weapons, what is North Korea?

President Barack Obama’s national security adviser, Tom Donilan, says nuclear weapons in the hands of the Hermit State also are unacceptable, but Pyongyang already has tested three nuclear weapons and recently threatened a pre-emptive nuclear strike on the United States. 

In addition, North Korea already has tested a three-stage missile which U.S. intelligence officials assess could reach the West Coast of the U.S. During its latest test in January, the North Koreans also orbited a “package” which they said was a satellite.

However, sources believe it was a test for deorbiting a nuclear device and possibly exploding it over the U.S. to create an electromagnetic pulse effect, knocking out the U.S. electrical grid system.

At the same time, the North Koreans released a video showing a nuclear explosion over New York City against a backdrop of music from Michael Jackson’s “We are the World.”

So, where does that leave U.S. policy toward North Korea possessing nuclear weapons, and would the U.S. go to war over Iran, which doesn’t yet possess them, while providing further concessions to Pyongyang if only it would give up nuclear weapons ambitions?

The policy of past presidents has been to give concessions to North Korea if it would suspend its nuclear testing.

But now, Donilon has warned that the U.S. will not condone a North Korean nuclear state. With North Korea already demonstrating that it is a nuclear state, what’s next?

Before the New York Asia Society, Donilon said that the U.S. has been committed to stability on the Korean peninsula.

“This means deterring North Korean aggression and protecting our allies,” Donilon said. “And it means the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.”
