It has been now revealed that North Korea has been in the serious preparations of the catastrophic nuclear programs. In this regard, the media speculations on the same matter cannot be denied anymore. First off, North Korea should stop contemplating such dangerous nuclear activities in the first place. North Korea (been there, done that) has been able to push the US to the negotiating table in the matter of disarmament. That said, it is time for the ruling regime in North Korea to see the larger picture. Such insights – that is to say – will be beneficial to all the parties involved in such complex issues as nuke programs. The people and the countries cannot be taken for granted even while discussing the political conflicts. To ensure the overall economic growth and stability in the region, the countries like North Korea should go with the flow. There have been many less developed countries around the world even now. Health is wealth as the saying goes. But wealth is good for all. Towards this direction, greater energies and big efforts should be channeled in a proper way. In fact the international community should work towards making the world the hub of natural resources and wealth, burying differences and disagreement.
