Reuters: U.S., Britain, France, others skip nuclear weapons ban treaty talks
The United States, Britain and France are among almost 40 countries that will not join talks on a nuclear weapons ban treaty starting at the United Nations on Monday, said U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley.
Haley told reporters the countries skipping the negotiations are instead committed to the Non-Proliferation Treaty, which entered into force in 1970 and is aimed at preventing the spread of nuclear weapons and weapons technology.
"There is nothing I want more for my family than a world with no nuclear weapons. But we have to be realistic. Is there anyone that believes that North Korea would agree to a ban on nuclear weapons?" Haley told reporters.

what about IRAN
Nations without Nuclear weapons are subject to invasion, Canada will find that out one day.The Nuclear nations will not be invaded because they always have the Nuclear option to fall back on. The big and powerful nations can a will bully weaker and non nuclear armed nations. North Korea is an excellent example, now that they have nuclear weapons, there is not much anyone can do about them, sanctions will work to a point but ultimately unless there is a coup and regime change, they have us over a barrel, and I suspect if they were close to collapse I suspect they would unleash everything the have, they're so fucking nuts.
TWN,
You're exactly right. On regime change, I'm sure Kim's thought about that (should be #1 topic in his mind) and I'd bet he has what he thinks is personal control of launch of at least one nuke to counter that or a failure to follow orders.
