In this sense, North Korea is a good example. All the evidence shows that the U.S should have acted against Pyongyang a long time ago with the object of replacing the regime, but that has not happened because the price would be too high. North Korea has nuclear arms and a missile programme, albeit rudimentary

Clearly, the summit will not do so. This will be the first step towards the realization of the depth of the issue. However, no country knows how to act in a different way. At present, world politics is guided by the law of involuntary consequences when one outcome is expected from the measures taken but in reality the outcome will be completely diffe

The Japanese government behaved in a strange and unprofessional way lately. And by the way, the ongoing events, in fact, saved the Naoto Kan Cabinet, which had been close to a major political crisis. Too many in the country had been unhappy about not only the foreign policy, but the domestic one as well,
