DW: North Korean arms development puts Asia on edge in 2023
The regime in Pyongyang has started 2023 by threatening South Korea and announcing plans for more capable ballistic missiles and a larger nuclear arsenal.
North Korea has begun 2023 with a series of missile launches and leader Kim Jong Un vowing to increase production of nuclear weapons and develop improved intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), according to statements carried by state-run news agency KCNA.
Kim has also declared that South Korea is the North's "undoubted enemy" and "hell-bent on an impudent and dangerous arms build-up."
South Korea has lived in the shadow of aggression from its northern neighbor since the 1950s. However, analysts have said the current threats and provocations emerging from Pyongyang should be a cause for deep concern.

I don't believe for a moment in the threat from North Korea. Kim's sole purpose is to protect the power of his dynasty.
It is first for domestic consumption by a show of force and protection against the West so as not to be drawn into an Asian conflict.
What interest does Pyongyang have in waging war on Japan or South Korea? None because his defeat is assured.
Japan and South Korea are jumping at the opportunity to strengthen their military apparatus in the event of a conflict with China.
The Russian orders for weapons is a godsend to l'incompétent Jim Jong-Ill
When those end North Korea will be back to starving.
The farce began in the theater, a failed country with the help of China, all thanks to the UN's omission and the American Democratic summit, now the south and Japan are exploding, ah but God bless America...NWO g4y 4.0
All clowning is all a farce, this bankrupt country could have been invaded a long time ago, but since it is financed by China, let's pretend that it is not a neighbor of North Korea and is not socialist
Made in china bomb
Wait until Japan and South Korea decide they will develop or buy nukes, probably from India ok Pak. They have no faith the USA will go to the mat for them. Just ask the President of Ukraine!
