Hate to say it, but Kim seems to have pulled a blinder entering into the recent talks with South Korea and the US. He’s managed to say exactly the right things while moving from testing weapons to mass production. Looks like he isn’t so crazy as he might seem, this took a lot of very careful planning I think -
‘This year, we should focus on mass-producing nuclear warheads and ballistic missiles for operational deployment,” Kim said. “These weapons will be used only if our security is threatened.”
“Kim himself proclaimed that they no longer need to test parts anymore and will just mass-produce weapons," Duyeon Kim, an adjunct senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security, said to Today’s WorldView. North Korea has never publicly repudiated these comments, and the United States has never clearly stated that Kim rejected them when he met with Trump in Singapore....
All of them agreed — often quite emphatically — that it did not. “Kim hasn’t broken any promises," said Jeffrey Lewis, a nonproliferation expert at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey. "Instead, he’s making good on one of them — to mass produce nuclear weapons.”
As such, it’s not surprising that North Korea would still be manning secret missile bases, or even producing new missiles or nuclear weapons. “Even though they’re violating all U.N. Security Council resolutions, North Korea didn’t break any promises with Trump because there’s no nuclear deal in place yet with Washington — there’s nothing that prevents them from expanding their nuclear arsenal,” Duyeon Kim said.
