But a shield to repel incoming nuclear missiles from American soil they said, was too expensive and wouldn't work.

North Korea continues to advance its nuclear technology and will soon reach weaponization. Regarding its intercontinental ballistic missiles, it is continuously making progress. So currently, it is urgent for us to freeze North Korea's program so they will stop additional provocations and stop advancement of its technologies.

Where is the justice in that?
