North Korea, a threat to world peace

North Korea's continual defiance of the international community by conducting nuclear and missile tests poses a serious threat to the Korean Peninsula in particular and the world in general. It is not possible for the pariah state to act alone without the support and blessings of its closest allies.

It is difficult to comprehend how North Korea with its relatively limited resources could continue with such an expensive affair of production and test of nuclear weapons without large financial assistance from outside. North Korea must stop this madness and refrain from its provocative behaviour. It should understand that a war is not in the interest of anyone and must be avoided by any means.
