North
Korea nuclear strike could hit UK, warns David Cameron
David
Cameron provoked surprise today when he claimed that North Korea now
possessed the capability to launch a nuclear strike against Britain
4
April 2013
The
Prime Minister pointed to the escalating threats from the regime in
Pyongyang as evidence of the need for the United Kingdom to retain
the Trident nuclear deterrent.
Speaking
to defence workers in Scotland, he said he was “very concerned”
about North Korea as it had “extremely dangerous technologies in
terms of nuclear and its weapons”.
He
said: “North Korea does now have missile technology that is able to
reach, as they put it, the whole of the United States and if they are
able to reach the whole of the United States they can reach Europe
too. They can reach us too, so that is a real concern.”
His
comments significantly toughened his warning, in a newspaper article,
that North Korea claimed to have developed a long-range ballistic
missile which could reach Britain. He did not assert it as a fact.
Mark
Fitzpatrick, Director of Nuclear Non-Proliferation and disarmament at
the International Institute for Strategic Studies, told ITV News that
Mr Cameron was correct to warn about the dangers from Pyongyang.
But
he added: “North Korea does not have any missile capabilities that
could hit Britain and it is difficult to envision circumstances when
North Korea ever would want to attack the UK even if they could.”
The
crossbench peer Lord Ramsbotham, a former army officer, said: “There
is no evidence at all to suggest the North Koreans possess a weapon
which the Prime Minister suggested could pose a threat to Europe or
indeed to us.”
Is
this guy for real?– or is a trying to be a clone of George 'Dubya'
Bush?
David
Cameron said the threat posed by North Korea was a 'real concern' and
underlined the need for the UK to maintain its nuclear deterrent.
The
Prime Minister said the actions of Kim Jong Un's regime were
'worrying and threatening' and the country had "extremely
dangerous" weapons.
The
comments came as Mr Cameron visited submarine HMS Victorious, in
Scotland, one of the boats which carries the Trident missile, as it
returned from its 100th patrol.
He
said maintaining the UK's nuclear capacity was a necessary 'insurance
policy against the risks that there are in the world'.
What the fuck is Cameron smoking?
