Nuclear Progress

Only a week after I made a post about the threat of nuclear weapons, we finally have some progress towards diminishing the threat. As reported by Al Jazeera, North Korea has suspended it's nuclear programme in exchange for US food aid. I don't see anything in here about decommissioning it's present nuclear arsenal, but at least it's a step in the right direction. It is not to be forgotten that the US (and other nations) is still developing nuclear arms, and should also be suspending it's own weapons programs.

This also makes me hopeful of the new leadership of North Korea. This marks a possibility that Kim Jong-un might be taking his country in an entirely different direction than his father was, and may give the North Korean people and the peninsula greater stability in the future.
