> I don't think any country has the right to demand that another country hands over enriched uranium and allow them to move into a shipyard so that they could build a nuclear sub.

The US won't allow south korea to enrich uranium on their own. Want to try again?

> I would recommend going beyond simply reading the headline.

Another intentional distracting comment.

190 nations have signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty. This includes China, so the very US vs China premise here is misplaced.

[The US, UK, France, Russia, China and 185 other countries] won't allow south korea to enrich uranium on their own

Who cares?

Sure. But it wasn't china that stopped korea's and japan's secret nuclear programs. It was the US.

Just like they prevented north korea...

Your response debunks your response. It's quite remarkable actually.

The only country that can prevent another country is the one militarily occupying it. China, France, Russia, UK and the other 185 countries don't militarily occupy south korea. The only reason north korea, israel, india, pakistan, etc were able to go nuclear is because they are not vassal states military occupied by a foreign power.

You don't understand why South Korea might care about nuclear proliferation?

If india doesn't care, why should south korea? India only has 2 nuclear powers surrounding it. South korea has 4. Why should korea care more than india? I'd love to hear your thoughts as an indian on this matter. You are my goto indian guru on all matters geopolitics, politics, economics, tech, sports ( cricket, not baseball for obvious reasons ), etc. I await enlightenment.
