South Korea doesn’t need nuclear arms to deter the threat from North Korea, the country’s Prime Minister Han Duck-soo said in an exclusive interview with CNN

– even as public opinion swings the other way amid Asia’s accelerating arms race. Several recent public surveys “definitely showed that we should re-arm ourselves. In nuclear capability terms, we should go farther,” Han told CNN anchor and business editor-at-large Richard Quest during a sit-down in Seoul.

Yoon, who has publicly taken a tough stance against North Korea, even raised the prospect of South Korea building its own nuclear arsenal, saying in January it could “deploy tactical nuclear weapons or possess its own nukes.” And despite Han voicing opposition to such a plan, he too emphasized South Korea’s preparedness in confronting its nuclear-armed neighbor – as well as its openness for further talks, under certain conditions. “We are not disarming ourselves against North Korea,” he said.

S. Korea, US to go ahead with drills despite N. Korea threatSEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The South Korean and U.S. militaries said Friday they’ll go ahead with large-scale annual military drills later this month despite North Korea’s threats to take “unprecedently” strong action against such training. The “Biden doesn’t have balls” team about to become peace loving hippies It's a guy thing. 'My shit is pretty big and powerful' The answer will always be the same. 'Wait...who donated to you?' The path to reduce military tensions is for North Korea to drawdown it's nuclear program and negotiate with South Korea on demilitarizing the border. The idea that the US and it's allies aren't allowed to do military exercises is illogical and stupid.
