North Korea agrees to suspend nuclear program and allow inspectors

[Jacobtm]

analysts cautioned that Pyongyang has backtracked repeatedly on past deals.

Oh noes, we're going to invade N.Korea now!

(because, as the argument goes, if they are bad and don't have nukes we invade....it's been the only thing that's kept the N.Koreans safe all these many decades)

Well, I don't quite know if our military leaders are ballsy enough to invade a Chinese ally on the Chinese border.

But yes, without nukes the likelihood of military action against North Korea goes from 0% to possible.

Though who honestly thinks they'll give up their nukes? Anybody?

But dude, that's the only thing holding us back from attacking N.Korea.  Or at least that's what I keep hearing from some people.  It's the only thing holding us back from attacking Iran right now....errr, I mean it WILL be the only thing holding us back when they get one.  The thing holding us back now is....huh.....

Hm?

There are many factors that go into decisions, y'know? Nuclear bombs are definitely a powerful factor.

We've never invaded a country with nuclear bombs, so it seems like a pretty strong deterrent.

C'mon with the strawman stuff.
