10 QUOTES WITH «NORTH KOREA»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word North Korea.
1
Yukiya Amano
Satellite images suggest North Korea is building a light-water reactor and working on uranium enrichment. This is troubling.
2
Jennifer Armintrout
Occasionally, the horrors of life in North Korea do show up in our American satire.
3
Jennifer Armintrout
Movies like 'The Interview' and 'Team America: World Police' don't often show the realities of life in North Korea and the human rights violations perpetrated by the government there.
4
Richard Armitage
I would not suggest the U.S. should sit down with the North Koreans bilaterally immediately after they've fired missiles - because the appearance is that you reward bad behavior. But if North Korea behaves for some period of time, I would pretty much favor direct talks.
5
Richard Armitage
North Korea is not an insane nation. It is not a crazy nation.
6
John Bolton
North Korea is going to get away with keeping its nuclear weapons.
7
Sergey Brin
We've seen a massive attack on the freedom of the web. Governments are realizing the power of this medium to organize people and they are trying to clamp down across the world, not just in places like China and North Korea; we're seeing bills in the United States, in Italy, all across the world.
8
John Bruton
Proliferation of nuclear weapons to terrorist organisations is far more dangerous than proliferation of nuclear weapons to states, even states like North Korea.
9
Dick Cheney
We've gotten a long way on missile defense. We know how to do it. We know how to take down incoming warheads, but we need to do a lot more work in order to be - to deploy a system that'll defend the United States against those kinds of limited strikes that might be possible by a nuclear armed North Korea or Iran.
10
Helen Clark
I think the issue of North Korea is one where the international community as a whole has to work to resolve the crisis.
