New Survey Shows that 56% of South Koreans Support Developing Nuclear Weapons
With the increasingly hostile neighborhood that South Korea lives in it is not surprising that a majority of South Koreans now support developing their own nuclear weapons to defend themselves:
About 56 percent of South Koreans support developing nuclear weapons to counter North Korea’s escalating nuclear threats, a survey showed Sunday.
The survey of 1,008 adults, conducted by pollster Realmeter last week, found that 56.5 percent of respondents say they support building own nuclear weapons and the issue needs to be discussed at an upcoming summit between President Yoon Suk Yeol and U.S. President Joe Biden.
In contrast, 40.8 percent said they oppose developing nuclear weapons.

Billions more to be spent on taxes for unnecessary weapons while many South Koreans are unemployed, hungry, and even homeless.
That’s pretty.
A nuclear armed Korea means a Korea where the PRC would think twice before bullying it.
But out resident anti-PRCer wants Korea to not have nukes?
Why is that?
Ah yes.
Nukes will mean that there will be no need for the USFK.
And we all know that setnaffa doesn’t ever want to see that happen.
In conclusion, despite his claims, setnaffa doesn’t care about Korea and its people.
I notice a strong correlation between having a nuclear weapon and being left alone.
With this in mind, Korea might consider nukes as a good long-term strategic move to keep everyone else thinking straight.
In 20 years, Japan will be remilitarizing. While their focus will be on keeping the resources flowing from Pacific Russia and the manufactured goods flowing from the competing regions of a centrally-weak china, Korea could easily get caught in the middle.
Nukes are a pretty good security guarantee.
…in fact…
I should probably get one myself.
Look at how well it’s working out for England, France, and Pakistan…
And, of course, no one bothers Israel…
