SEOUL, 14 January 2022, (TON): North Korea launched ballistic missiles on two different occasions this past week, in a stark reminder that the threat posed by the rogue regime continues to destabilize Northeast Asia.
Even as the population suffers, Kim Jong Un is primarily focused on weapons technology and modernizing the country’s military.
Experts assess that North Korea is working to develop a hypersonic missile that demonstrates speed and maneuverability and provides Pyongyang with significant attack capabilities.
Diplomatic overtures between the Trump administration and Kim Jong Un in 2018 and 2019 failed to produce any agreement, and the Biden administration’s strategy for dealing with North Korea remains unclear.
Led by the mercurial dictator Kim Jong Un, North Korea (also known as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, or DPRK) has mostly disappeared from the headlines, at least in Western newspapers. Yet, the danger it presents to regional and global stability remains.
