Kim Jong-un calls for limitless expansion of North Korea's nuclear program
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has called for a "limitless" expansion of the country's nuclear program. In a recent speech, he emphasized the need to enhance military capabilities in response to perceived threats from the U.S. and its allies. Kim criticized U.S. nuclear strategies and military cooperation with South Korea and Japan, labeling it an "Asian NATO." He has previously vowed to significantly increase North Korea's nuclear arsenal due to what he calls reckless U.S. actions. The speech follows North Korea's deployment of around 10,000 troops to Russia, some of whom are reportedly involved in combat near Ukraine. This military cooperation between North Korea and Russia has intensified following a recent pact.
