Which country is a greater threat to international security: Iran or North Korea?

Question

Both appear to be on the road to possessing nuclear weapons. Reports suggest that the North Koreans say they are curtailing their nuclear program, but I think they're just stalling.

And Iran has no intention to bowing to any sort of diplomatic pressure.

Which of these nations is the greater threat to international peace and stability?

Answer 1

I think Iran with it's current leadership is the more dangerous threat. The Iranians are well fed and can concentrate on international mischief better than the starving North Koreans.

That is not to say the North Koreans are to be taken lightly. If they start eating better, then we'll have to worry about them as much as we worry about Iran.

Iran is also in a better position for a revolution to bring sanity to the upper levels of it's government. The North Koreans are too hungry and brainwashed to try a start a democratic revolution.

Answer 2

Iran is the greater threat!

Unlike North Korea, they seek to develop uranium based nuclear weapons. Uranium has a much higher critical mass requirement and therefore very large bombs can be built.
Possessing that class of power in Iran's geographical location in the world is cause for much anxiety among their neighbors. Plutonium based bombs are usually smaller and more intricate to construct. What really matters is the mentality behind the bomb builder. Kim Jong II is not willing to risk the loss of his regime. If he lopped just one of those nukes on our west coast, his country would be decimated. Mr. Ahmadinejad on the other hand, has suggested that Israel should be wiped off the face of the planet and has proposed hanging those responsible for Iran's poor stock market performance. I wonder if they get hazard pay? Iran recently demonstrated their country's impressive missile capability. However, what they don't know is that Israel may detonate high altitude multiple EMP devices or neutron bombs as an incoming fighter aircraft and missile shield. Israel does have the neutron bomb and may have to use it in self defense.

Answer 3

IRAN
Both their president and ahatolla want nuclear weapons and want to End the World. In Iran they basically brainwash children as young as 5 to hate all Americans, Israelans, the pope and the U.K. They show no sign or desire at all of wanting to stop producing Nuclear weapons.
North Korea has basically stopped-My brother did a report ion N. Korea for college and they basically pose no threat now.

Answer 4

Basically, that's the same as saying you're in prison and do we want to be gangraped by the blonde or brunette? It doesn't matter which, they are BOTH a threat and BOTH should be dealt with accordingly - via any means necessary with total disregard for any life taken, or damage caused within the boundaries of their country. It is the only way to "be sure". Remember - "where there's doubt, there is no doubt". They have already proven their level of unpredictability, which means the day will come when the bottom line is..."them or us". What's it going to be??

Answer 5

Neither. in spite of if the rabble coming from North korea shows this might properly be a possibility to international peace, the genuine possibility has constantly been the U. S.. think of approximately it. American defense force has invaded, occupied or interfered with a minimum of seven middle east international places, has over seven-hundred bases international in over 2 hundred international places, killed over 8 million in 50 years and has imposed financial sanctions on international places the place the conventional earnings is under $one thousand in line with 365 days.

Answer 6

If North Korea gets chaotic, not much happens on a global scale. Iran has a lot of oil and can influence global economies in addition to other oil rich countries in the middle east.

Answer 7

There is zero evidence that Iran is trying to make nuclear weapons. None whatsoever. Never has been any. It is all lies from the Bush administration. Don't believe something just because a known liar tells you it is true.

I'm not saying that Iran is NOT trying to do so. Only that there is no evidence for it at all. You state it as if it were a given that they are doing so, but there are no facts at all to back up your assertion. Bush wants to attack Iran, so he is trying to make them look bad. That's all there is to it.

Answer 8

Iran. They believe God is on their side and will destroy their enemies, so they have no fear of anything. N. Korea is already a broken nation who bluffs and blusters to get attention.

Answer 9

Do you know many countries do not live in fear of worrying about this sort of thing. Have you seen any North Koreans in your town this week? How about Iranians? Sooner or later you need to start living in peace.

Answer 10

Neither, they are an equal threat, and the threat is none.
