The World According To Kim Jong UnJanuary 18, 2026

On the eve of the 75th birthday of the Korean People's Army, Kim Jong-un is determined to make the country the world's leading nuclear power. Sweeping aside any possibility of disarmament, the leader rather strengthens his arsenal - by testing its 'monster missile' Hwasong-17. Never has the North Korean nuclear threat been so strong. Why such obsession with nuclear weapons? How seriously should we take this new threat?
