This article discusses just how
complex and difficult it would be if North Korea were to agree to
denuclearization. It covers how that North Korea has essentially built up it’s
nuclear weapon program in secrecy. It discusses how “Iran hid much of its
weapons-designing past, North Korea has concealed programs on a far larger
scale and built an arsenal of 20-60 nuclear warheads – compared to none in
Iran.” It also goes on to state how denuclearization in North Korea could make Iran
look easy. If North Korea does agree to denuclearizing, the U.S. would have to
verify everything North Korea would say. It also states how President Trump and
the U.S. may have a different idea of disarmament than North Korea. With there
being different estimates on the size of North Koreas arsenal the Inspectors
may never really know if the have found and removed all the weapons. It also
discussed the fact that there may not be enough qualified individuals to act as
inspectors, estimating that it might require up to 300 inspectors to oversee
the removal of the weapons in North Korea. Essentially the article really goes
over just how difficult and almost impossible it will be to officially confirm
that North Koreas nuclear weapon program has been dismantled.
