Given that legally the USA and NK are still at war, I don't see it changing much.

> Given that legally the USA and NK are still at war

For those, like me, curious about the situation, this is apparently something that has occurred several times in history[1]. In most if not all cases it seems to be pointless hair-splitting, but interesting nonetheless.

Not trying to be snarky, but why on Earth would I mind that my government is trying to prevent a rival government from gaining nuclear capability? World politics are what they are, and they are unavoidable, so my preference is that we do anything necessary to stay in a position of leadership. Would you prefer different if you were us?

edit: clarified last question

I can't fathom why you think China, Russia, North Korea, and other countries aren't doing the same and similar things to the US.
