North Korea nuclear program

After the Workers’ Party’s Eighth Congress, North Korea held a military parade to display its missiles, with an emphasis on SLBMs (and a curious absence of ICBMs). 

The parade, which included a new submarine-launched ballistic missile, closed out the eight-day Workers' Party congress.

During the Eighth Party Congress, Kim vowed to enhance the country’s missile programs and nuclear power – a worrying sign for diplomacy with the U.S. and South Korea.

Pyongyang is likely preparing to reveal new missiles – and more – during anniversary celebrations on October 10.

The new report affirms U.S. assessments of North Korea’s nuclear weapons.

There are enough disturbing parallels between Pyongyang and Tehran’s nuclear ambitions that the latter’s recent threat to leave the NPT needs to be decisively addressed.

How was North Korea able to attain nuclear missiles, despite U.S. opposition, when so many other countries have failed to do so?

Logically, the U.S. public should be more concerned about North Korea’s program. But the data suggests otherwise.

For all the diplomatic milestones of 2018, North Korea’s behavior in 2019 looks awfully familiar.
