Building nuclear weapons could be South Korea's "plan B" in an increasingly "unpredictable" security landscape, Seoul's top diplomat told the country's legislature Wednesday.

I have been saying it since the Russian attack on Ukraine: the only thing that effectively protects a country is nuclear deterrence.

Every country with unfriendly neighbors should seek nuclear weapons. This is the world in we live now. Many thanks to Russia and Vladimir Putin. And Trump is only accelerating this development.
