pretty much. to bad there isn't really a market for nuke tech these days. anybody with ability to use the plans either already has em or can get em from russia. then of course there is the issue iran is having. which is being able to actually put the plans to use with out getting bombed.
i highly doubt N. Korea is willing to start selling off their small cache of already made weapons. really the threat of their use is the only thing keeping the borders secure at the moment. with out them N. Korea becomes just Korea.
there is really nothing that country can do. other than submit completely. until then however, they will continue to throw hissy fits. unless another world war erupts. which could very well happen in the next decade.
according to estimates... 375million people will be "displaced" each year over the next 5 (maybe 10) years from natural disasters as a result of climate change. factor in other effects of such disasters.. poverty, famine, disease. you have a nice little pot with to stir up a land grab war. especially when nations populations are on the verge of anarchy.
edit..
and don't forget the already in motion land grab going on up north for oil reserves which are currently covered by ice, but expected to thaw out in the coming years.
which i really love. "global warming doesn't exist. but we are mobilizing the troops to secure the oil fields that will thaw out soon." :\
