Don't companies trading with North Korea owe a social obligation to not support potential Nuclear Warfare on their many and varied global consumers?

Perhaps this should also apply to companies trading with the USA, which is also threatening nuclear action, and has tested many more missiles and bombs than North Korea.

Perhaps choices have to be made?

some of the left are dumb enough to want to put a ban on Israel and universities has certainly produced the most 'educated' dummies ever.

Cupric Embarrasment,
Companies trading with North Korea generally don't have many and varied global consumers.

And what exactly would you construe as supporting potential nuclear warfare?

There are already a to of sanctions on North Korea, and there may be more in future. Anyone trading with North Korea has an obligation to comply with those. But beyond that it's far from clear whether restricting trade is even helpful, let alone obligatory.

Kim Jong Un is not North Korea.

What would happen if a US President showed that the US was the better world citizen and was no threat?

Where would the Kim dictatorship be then? What would China do if there wasn't someone else more embarrassed than they are at Kim Jong Un firing missiles from close to their (China's) border?

Cossomby,
"Donald Trump: we will respond to North Korean threats with fire and fury."
Methinks the sooner the better.
They tried appeasement with Hitler and he invaded Poland.
This bloke is a first class nut case and since his people follow him like a new risen Christ
the best answer is a coordinated nuk strike by Japan, the US and South Korea wiping the
country of the face of the earth.
The longer they procrastinate the stronger and more insane he grows.

Japan’s Race Against Time to Build Its Own Atomic Bomb (Robert K. Wilcox):
‘Shortly after World War II had ended, American intelligence received a shocking report: The Japanese, just prior to their surrender, had successfully test-fired an atomic bomb.”

In the fall of 1940, the Japanese army concluded that constructing an atomic bomb was indeed feasible., Noguchi, who was a graduate of Tokyo University with a degree in electrical engineering, was also making heavywater,. He also realized the enormous value of the rich uranium fields on the Korean peninsula.

… by April 1944…it became possible to produce approximately 50 cc of 90 percent or purer heavy water per month.” . Army Major Joseph O’Hearn was one of the officers who oversaw the destruction of the Japanese cyclotrons. O’Hearn concluded, “My mission uncovered a hidden supply of uranium.”

Wilcox, states : “The Japanese, in fact, tried to make the bomb [and] got farther than the Germans did."

The reports about New Guinea's nukes are fake , also the republic of west Australia.

Aidan, don't you believe companies are in a social contract, i.e. they have obligations toward the society in which they operate?

mememememememe,
> don't you believe companies are in a social contract, i.e. they have obligations toward the society in which they operate?

Some are, some aren't. When a company behaves as though it hasn't any obligations to society beyond its legal obligations, it's difficult to credibly argue otherwise. And it is for this reason that strong laws are needed.

Not that it would make any difference at all on this issue. Boycotting North Korea, when not part of a coordinated international effort, certainly won't prevent them from developing nukes. Generally boycotts work better against companies than countries.

The rocket man loved Disneyland as a kid and his big brother went there in Japan. Either Disneyland can be destroyed as punishment or else Kim Young'un can be given free pass for life with choice of pop-corn and no nukes.
