9. Every year they're developing longer range ballistic missiles

And they continually threaten to nuke the US about 20-30x per year. Seems like a cause for concern right? What happens when they get nukes that can actually reach us? The longer we wait to deal with little kimmy, the harder it will be. He's not a sane or rational leader in any sense. The NK government is also guilty of obscene human rights abuses on par with things done by the WW2 era Germans and Japanese.

Watch this video, and then tell me about how you're fine with NK developing longer ranged nuclear arms.
