America, Japan, SK Threaten “Unparalleled” Response if North Korea Continues Testing Nukes

America has a right to launch a full-on war against Russia, but North Korea doesn’t have a right to test their own weapons which they only built as a result of constant threats by the West against their sovereignty.
The United States, Japan and South Korea warned on Wednesday that an “unparalleled” scale of response would be warranted if North Korea conducts a seventh nuclear bomb test.
Washington and its allies believe North Korea could be about to resume nuclear bomb testing for the first time since 2017.
“We agreed that an unparalleled scale of response would be necessary if North Korea pushes ahead with a seventh nuclear test,” South Korean First Vice Foreign Minister Cho Hyun-dong told a news conference in Tokyo.
Cho was speaking alongside his Japanese and U.S. counterparts, Vice Foreign Minister Takeo Mori and Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman.
The United States and its allies have offered few details on what new measures they might take, and observers say they have few good options for preventing a new test.
For the first time since North Korea began testing nuclear weapons in 2006, China and Russia this year vetoed a U.S.-led push for additional United Nations Security Council sanctions, and stepped-up allied military drills have only been met by more North Korean tests and exercises.
“We urge (North Korea) to refrain from further provocations,” Sherman said, calling them “reckless and deeply destabilising for the region.
“Anything that happens here, such as a North Korean nuclear test … has implications for the security of the entire world,” she said, sending a thinly veiled message to Pyongyang’s supporters, China and Russia, in the UN Security Council.
“We hope indeed that everyone on the Security Council would understand that any use of a nuclear weapon will change the world in incredible ways.”
People constantly want to claim that North Korea is somehow unjustified in their actions, but they have a right to make their own decisions, and the US does not have a right to bully and threaten them under the guise of trying to “liberate” them.
People in North Korea are happier than people in virtually any other country, but that isn’t really the point. The point is, nations exist, and people have a right to choose what happens in their nation. The US government does not have the right to make those decisions for other countries.
If you accept that reality, then the whole issue of North Korea becomes a non-issue. No one thinks they are going to use weapons if they’re not threatened, so the solution is to accept that they’re going to do what they are going to do, accept that that’s their business, and then stop threatening them.
