I blame George W. Bush for a lot of this situation.
In January 2002 he goes in front of the world and labels North Korea one of the "axis of evil" alongside Iraq.
Well North Korea ramps up their nuclear weapons program ... you guessed it ... later in 2002. They saw full well what the US did to Saddam Hussein when they just wholesale created a war out of thin air for no reason to topple the regime. The message to North Korea was basically "we could be next, we need deterrant to stop that"
By 2006, North Korea would test their first nuclear weapon, on Bush's watch.
This is mainly IMO, at the feet of Bush and the "tough talk" bullshit he sent out then. But hey, for those who want a president who huffs and puffs and talks a big game, I hope you're happy with the situation we find ourselves in now.
