NK is not saving weapons. They are an exporter of weapons. Something like 25% of their international income is from weapons exports. How to wean a nation off of weapons when that is but the few successful industry they have?
It will be difficult. But weaning them off of weapons exporting is what Carter started when he negotiated an agreement that led to South Korea's Sunshine policy.
Need a missile? If US and Britian will not sell them AND will deny anyone else an opportunity to make the sale? Then go to North Korea. They make good missiles and will sell to anyone.
Goes even farther. To be a world exporter of better weapons, North Korea and Pakistan executed a secret agreement of technology trade. If the US was more honest, then Pakistan would also be on George Jr's list called the 'Axis of Evil' - that includes Iran and Iraq.
North Korea is a major weapons manufacturer. Therefore is evil. Pakistan did even worse. Took the world to brink of nuclear war and shared nuclear weapons technology with N Korea. So why is North Korea considered so dangerous but Pakistan is a close US friend? Ironic.
