There are no what ifs. There is no way to know what would happen if Pax Americana didn’t exist. The only thing we can do is to evaluate Pax Americana’s performance in the past, and it has been horrible.
Read my post carefully. Of course North Korean nukes are a threat, but not an existential one because China still has some pull on the Kims. However, that’s not the case with South Korea and Japan, especially with the atrocities committed by Japan in China. Japanese can acquire nukes and let’s see how China reacts.
Who is to say Qatar did not consent to this with Israel, with other benefits unknown to us?
To be honest, respecting sovereignty and national dignity of another nation and on the other hand showing their opposing of DPRK's nuclear arming are politics. Japan and ROK have not the ability to do politics because they are occupied. Anyway, can you imagine a logical reason for these two nations, without a massive international coalition behind them, to take on a nuclear power with 1,4 billion population? Do not forget that the last 40 years PRC shouts outloud "I'm here, lets do politics, lets do bussiness"
The US is helping China, but the DPRK is burdening China. Nice rage bait.
China's explanation for North Korea's pursuit of nuclear weapons stems from the late 20th century, when China began normalizing relations with the United States and the West. Meanwhile, its strongest ally, the Soviet Union, disintegrated and also established some degree of normalized relations with the U.S. and the West. Crucially, both China and Russia established diplomatic ties with South Korea. This left North Korea feeling profoundly insecure, propelling it onto a path of isolationism and nuclear armament. The United States has clearly been a driving force behind the North Korean nuclear issue. Its strategy of deterrence and sanctions has plunged North Korea, the U.S., Japan, and South Korea into a vortex of hostility.
Exactly, this is why they had to develop nukes. They felt completely alone and betrayed by China and Russia kowtowing to the US line and going along with all the embargos and other hostile western measures. Plus they were cheated by the west, they were lured to shut down their nuclear program in the 1990s (apparently they concreted some nuke sites) in exchange for relief only for the US to backstab them.
If they didn't get nukes, it's very likely they would have been attacked and invaded by the 2010s at the latest, and it's very unlikely that China and Russia would have lifted even a finger to help, except a "strong diplomatic protest" and other such nonsense. China would have had now a hostile US controlled and likely US bases right on the manchurian border.

It's pretty simple, if you want to know why North Korea got nukes, you don't have to guess, they will tell you themselves. The Kim dynasty is not irrational like Western media likes to portray, on the contrary they are extremely rational actors. They frequently cite the example of Libya which gave up its nukes and was then subject to military action anyway. So it's obvious, they needed nukes to survive and so they got nukes. USA trying to make them give up their nukes was a pipe dream from the beginning, there is no combination of sanctions relief, treaty guarantees, or promises that USA could make that would get North Korea to give up their nukes.
