Who decides that Pakistan can have them, but not North Korea?
Why is there all this focus on eliminating nuclear weapons from Iran and North Korea, but not India or France.
I don't have an axe to grind here, I just dont understand the logic.

A senior North Korean official warned Wednesday that Pyongyang may cancel its summit meeting between Kim Jong Un and President Trump scheduled for June 12 in Singapore, if it is going to be pushed into giving up its nuclear arsenal.
If the Trump administration pressures Pyongyang to unilaterally abandon its nuclear weapons, North Korea would have to reconsider the summit, Vice Foreign Minister Kim Kye Gwan said in a statement carried by the official KCNA news agency.
"If we are giving up our nukes in North Korea, you Americans should also give up yours"
Seems a fair swap.......

I want to know why Iran and North Korea are subject to sanctions because of their nuclear weapons programs, but Israel and Pakistan are not.

Sanctions against Israel are invariably vetoed by the US.
Pakistan's nukes are seen as a counterweight to India's.

By that logic, Iran should be allowed to have nuclear weapons as a counterweight to Israel's.

Mystic Si predicts a similar thing will happen before Trump's proposed meeting with LRM, after which Trump's critics will be elated that he's failed at brokering any kind of peace and concluding with Trump attempting to save face by proclaiming that he's "always willing to enter into talks aimed at nuclear non-proliferation".

I suspect that 'most people' don't actually care for ANY nation within the powder keg of the Middle East to have their hands on nukes.
