Why shouldn't South Korea have nuclear bomb?
A lot of people are getting confused about South Korea. South Korea is a totally different country compared to North Korea. North Korea is as poor as Somalia, but they don't care whether or not, their people starve, and they put over 90 percent of their budget into their military. INSANE!! South Korea's gross domestic product is the world's top 12 and almost 50 times more than North Korea, and you guys know some brands from South Korea like Samsung, LG, Kia, and Hyundai. My point is they have the technologies and money to make nuclear bomb, but they can't even try to buy uranium because of the U.S. I am getting sick of watching North Korea doing something crazy and lunatic against South Korea. Let them have the bomb and bring our troops back from South Korea.I don't think South Korea will do something stupid with the bomb. I think they are rational and practical enough to handle the deadly weapon. Is there any reason South Korea must not make the bomb? I think North Korea already made it.

Is the spread of nuclear weaponry to ANY country a good idea? The notion of Mutually Assured Destruction is a failure as increasingly unstable people are elected in various countries. Imagine if a rabid tea party activist eventually controls our nuclear capabilities.

They dont need a nuclear device. We have Osan, and Kunsan Air Force bases in South Korea. We have our own nukes there for thier protection.

They will, once the north collapses and the south gets all their stuff.

For the same reason you don't let four year olds or juvenile delinquents have loaded guns.

They don't need one. They have us. We have been in a technical state of war with North Korea since 1950. There have been 10 major incidents in the past 12 years. Hundreds have died, which is better than millions. This will blow over too.

Nuclear bombs are the weaponry of modern day barbarians. Their only purpose in war is to kill indiscriminately. While conventional precision weapons also kill, their purpose is to disable the enemy. This could mean strategic facilities, or strategic personnel. There is no standing army in the world, nor will there likely ever be, for which a nuclear bomb would be the optimum strategic solution. That is why South Korea (or any country) shouldn't possess nuclear bombs, but not why they mustn't. Any consequential action (passive or direct) taken against any country for developing their military is subject to endless debate.

As things stand right now China and others can point their fingers at the Big Bad USA, which in a strange way is a good thing imo. If South Korea becomes the focus it could open a lot of old wounds. If that happens, our troops will likely be stuck there anyway on an even more unstable border.
