Russia's Foreign Minister Lavrov on nuclear weapons:

Gaddafi gave up his nuclear program, and he was mocked and killed on live television to the delight of Hillary Clinton, who literally applauded in front of the screen.

North Korea simply concluded that without nuclear weapons, they would be wiped off the face of the earth.

They are acting on this choice, and no one touches them.
