73% of South Koreans Support Nuclear Weapons; Yoon Backed Development in 2023 Amid US Alliance Concerns
Dec 25, 2024, 05:59 PM
Public opinion in South Korea is increasingly in favor of the country developing its own nuclear weapons, with a recent poll indicating that 73% of citizens support such a move. This sentiment aligns with comments made by President Yoon in 2023, who expressed support for nuclear armament. However, analysts caution that pursuing a nuclear path could jeopardize South Korea's critical alliance with the United States. The discussion has intensified, with various commentators advocating for immediate nuclear armament for both South Korea and Japan, citing the existing nuclear capabilities of North Korea as a significant factor in their arguments.
