Just two months ago, North Korea blew up the cooling tower at its main nuclear reactor, a dramatic act meant to show the world it was committed to abandoning its atomic weapons ambitions.
That, coupled with a long-delayed account of its nuclear activities, fostered optimism and led last month to the first meeting between the foreign ministers of North Korea and the United States in four years.
But on Tuesday the communist nation said it had stopped disabling its Yongbyon nuclear complex on Aug. 14 and will consider restoring the plutonium-producing facility.
"The U.S. postponed the process of delisting the (North) as a 'state sponsor of terrorism,'" the Foreign Ministry said in a statement carried by the state news agency. "Now that the U.S. breached the agreed points, the (North) is compelled to take" countermeasures, it said.
Huh, how does it feel North Korea? I'm going to go on the assumption that we're at fault here because I want to make a point. North Korea wouldn't even HAVE these problems with starvation and other things if they hadn't reneged on a 1994 deal that provided them with aid in exchange for halting their nuclear weapon's program.
So, if we reneged on the deal, go fuck yourself. Now you know what it feels like. From what I've read so far, most, if not all of it's nuclear weapons equipment has been shipped out of the country and/or destroyed.
Americans get tired of being nice and getting it slapped back into our faces. A little retaliation from time to time let's people know who's in the position of power.
