Kim Jong Un calls for unlimited expansion of North Korea's nuclear arsenal

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has called for an unlimited expansion of the country's nuclear arsenal. He emphasized the need to enhance war preparations against the U.S. and its allies, citing their military buildup as a threat. During a recent conference, Kim stated that strengthening nuclear capabilities is now an irreversible policy for North Korea. He criticized the military cooperation between the U.S., South Korea, and Japan, labeling it an "Asian version of NATO" that heightens regional tensions. This speech follows a meeting of U.S., South Korean, and Japanese leaders who condemned North Korea's troop deployment to Russia for combat in Ukraine. Kim accused the U.S. of using Ukrainian forces to extend its military influence globally.
