North Korea really puts a lie to the whole "if Iran gets nukes there gonna bomb NYC tomorrow" . Kim has had nukes for a decade and has never done anything with them.

We just can't imagine the "bad guys" would want nukes for defense and deterrence and not to just blow us all up immediately because the movies tell us that's what bad guys do.

While true, it only takes one bad guy who is madder than the rest to do it and then we have the potential for a nuclear apocalypse.

The least people with this opportunity the better in my opinion…

That's true in general but in our specific case, the worst people to have nukes were the first to get them and now it's up to everyone else to ensure their own safety

Like Trump?

And here we are, the mad president is the one with the nukes.

Yeah, imagine that... It would be CRAZY if a megalomaniac had nukes. Good thing there isn't a demented, desperate, deranged man at the helm of any countries with nukes.
