The US government was not the authority to make rulings about which countries had certain weapons, nor was the US government the authority to take action about any such weapons in other countries. The US government was forbidden from attacking other countries. At the time this was written, the UN Charter required the US, like all countries, to "refrain ... from the threat or use of force" against other countries, regardless of any weapons programs they might have. At this time the US listed the UN Charter among its "Treaties in Force". |

The US government owns the right to attack on North Korean soil if the US government decides North Korea has certain weapons. North Korea does not own the right not to be attacked on North Korean soil, but it can buy that right from the US. If North Korea gets angry during talks about whether or not the US will attack North Korea on North Korean soil, it is North Korea, not the US, that is being hostile. If the US agrees not to attack North Korea, the US is giving up something that belongs to the US.
