Why should the North Koreans trust us when we break deals like we have with Iran. Then the Ukraine gives up their nuclear weapons in exchange for our help to fight back against Russia and we hold back that help in lieu of "we are paying too much, the Europeans should be paying more." How is that the Ukraine's fault? That fight should be with the EU.

October 2 North Korea test-fired a submarine-launched ballistic missile (slbm) into Japanese waters
North Korea fires submarine-launched missiles
"Tokyo said a part of the missile landed in waters within Japan’s exclusive economic zone — a 200-kilometre band around Japanese territory.
“The launching of ballistic missiles violates UN Security Council resolutions and we strongly protest and strongly condemn it,” Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told reporters.
France’s foreign ministry condemned repeated missile launches by Pyongyang and said the latest test “cannot contribute to the resumption of serious negotiations”.
North Korea likely fired submarine-launched ballistic missile: South Korea
The launch comes hours after the North announced it would resume nuclear talks with the United States.
The exact type of the missile and the launch platform remain unclear, but it appears to be a step that "pushes the envelope," said Joshua Pollack, a leading expert on nuclear and missile proliferation and editor of Nonproliferation Review.
“The successful new-type slbm test-firing comes to be of great significance,” North Korea’s state-run kcna wrote, “as it ushered in a new phase in containing the outside forces’ threat to the dprk [North Korea] and further bolstering its military muscle for self-defense.”
Yet the U.S. did little more than wag its finger at North Korea for the launch. “We call on the dprk to refrain from provocations,” a U.S. State Department spokeswoman said, adding that the North Koreans should “abide by their obligations under [United Nations] Security Council Resolutions.”

North Korea has test-fired at least 18 short-range missiles since May.
North Korea Missile Tests, ‘Very Standard’ to Trump, Show Signs of Advancing Arsenal
President Trump’s tolerance of the recent tests is driven largely by a desire to preserve his efforts to persuade North Korean leader Kim Jung-un to denuclearize his military.
Trump does not find these short-range missiles to be troubling. But Japan and South Korea are treaty allies of the United States. Both rely on America for national security and defending their interests. If fired at a standard trajectory, the missile could strike targets up to 1,240 miles away. That would place all of South Korea and Japan within the weapon’s range.

The only reason North Korean is able to act like they do is that Russia and China does everything in there power to keep them afloat.This could drive a broad wedge between the U.S. and its Asian allies. And this could be exactly what North Korea and its main allies—China and Russia—are working to accomplish.
It is no secret that China and Russia support the North Korean regime: They regularly use their UN veto power to shelter it, and even when sanctions are passed against it, they violate them to aid the North. This gives China and Russia considerable influence over North Korean policy, including weapons tests.
It is also no secret that China and Russia share the goal of removing U.S. power from East Asia.
