North Korea – Recently, North Korea
unveils its large submarine-launched ballistic missile in a military parade.
“North Korea has
celebrated the end of a rare political meeting by unveiling what appears to be
a missile designed to be fired from a submarine. Images released by the
country's state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) showed thousands of
people and soldiers at a nighttime military parade in Pyongyang, the capital,
including leader Kim Jong Un. The headliner, however, was the new submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) -- which
KCNA declared was the "world's most powerful weapon." Pyongyang also
showed off an apparent new short-range ballistic missile which, like its
submarine counterpart, likely runs on solid fuel. Solid-fueled missiles can be
fired on shorter notice than liquid-fueled counterparts.”(CNN)
“Analysts
said Kim's plans -- and the missiles put on display -- are worrying signs for the
future of any possible disarmament talks between Pyongyang and the incoming
administration of US President-elect Joe Biden. "No matter who is in power
in the US, the true nature and the true spirit of the anti-North Korea policy
will never change," Kim said Saturday. "The development of nuclear
weapons will be pushed forward without interruption."” (CNN)
“Mr. Kim claimed that his nuclear weapons had made
North Korea safer from American threats, putting it in a better position to
rebuild its economy.”(NYTimes)
The main point : North Korea have display and
