That`s pure envy. Poles would like to have their own nuclear weapons but as a democratic country they can`t. So, they play the dog in the manger.
Poland condemns North Korea nuclear test
12.02.2013 10:15
Poland's foreign minister has described the third nuclear weapons test carried out by North Korea on Tuesday as “very serious” for world security.
"What is really dangerous, for the whole world, is if the [North Korean] regime gains technology and sells it on, at a time when it is unable to feed its own population,” Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski has told Polish Radio.
It emerged that North Korea had gone ahead with the nuclear test early on Tuesday morning.
North Korea previously conducted nuclear tests in 2006 and 2009.
Russia's Defence Ministry said the power of North Korea's nuclear test blast surpassed seven kilotons, a ministry source told the Interfax- AVN military news agency.
South Korea, still technically at war with its northern neighbour since the 1950 – 53 civil war, said earlier on Tuesday that the size of seismic activity indicated a nuclear explosion slightly larger than the North's two previous tests at six to seven kilotons, Reuters reports.
The Hiroshima bomb during WW II dropped by the United States was around 20 kilotons.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Tuesday condemned North Korea's nuclear test, saying it was "deplorable" that Pyongyang had defied international appeals to refrain from such provocative acts.
"The Secretary-General condemns the underground nuclear weapon test conducted by [North Korea] today," UN spokesman Martin Nesirky said in a statement.
"It is a clear and grave violation of the relevant Security Council resolutions," he added.
The UN Security Council will hold an emergency meeting on North Korea's apparent nuclear test on Tuesday.
According to Minister Sikorski, the nuclear test may be evidence that China has lost control of its former North Korean ally, which could bring a dangerous instability to the region.
"Without [China's] support, without the border open to trade and the movement of people, the regime [in North Korea] might not survive more than a few months,” he warned.
The North Korean regime is “doing what it does at the expense of its own people,” Poland's foreign minister added.
Sikorski said that the nuclear weapons testing “shows how important it is to develop anti-missile technology”.
Poland is a member of the Neutral Nations Supervisory Commission, established in 1953, supervising the truce between the two Korean states.
