WASHINGTON: A nuclear-armed North Korea poses the real danger to the world including its allies China and Russia, US National Security Adviser Lieutenant General H R McMaster said.Pyongyang acquiring nuclear weapons "would be the most destabilising development" in the post-World War II period, he told Fox News. "And there's never been a weapons system that North Korea has developed that it hasn't sold to somebody else," he said.The NSA said that there's a real grave danger to China, Russia, to all nations, from a North Korea that's armed with nuclear weapons. "You have that direct threat, but you also have the threat the potential of Japan, South Korea, others, arming themselves, possibly even with nuclear weapons. "In fact, what we're doing is continuing to work with them on all the key challenges we face today, from North Korea, to the defeat of ISIS across the Greater Middle East, the ongoing efforts in Afghanistan, Pakistan". And so, we haven't missed a beat, really, and the topic doesn't even come up," the top national security advisor to the US president said.The investigations related to his predecessor General (retired) Michael Flynn is not the focus on the National Security Council.
