When referring to “the development of tactical nuclear weapons” and describing the United States as “the greatest enemy”, North Korea was concerned about the delay in denuclearization and the possibility of returning to nuclear tests.
“Chairman Kim clearly sees that the deadlock with the United States on nuclear programs will not change,” said Harry Kazianis, director of the Korean Institute of National Interest, in response to a message from Chairman Kim’s report to the US in the report on the 8th Congress of the Labor Party. “Unless the United States takes drastic first steps to get rid of the so-called hostilities policy, Chairman Kim is not willing to give up on anything.”
In addition, “North Korea believes that the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19), economic recovery, and China issues should be dealt with before the Biden administration takes action against North Korea,” he said, knowing that sanctions will not be eased soon, and prepared long-term preparations. He said there might be.
“The North Korean issue may fall at the bottom of the national security concern in the early days of the Biden administration,” he said. “It is not right now, but there is a possibility that some dialogue will take place over time. Hopefully, he believes that there will be opportunities for dialogue until early autumn.”
“The Biden administration is expected to empower diplomats to get involved and take small steps,” said Patrick Cronin, head of the Hudson Institute’s Asia Pacific Security Office. In relation to negotiations with North Korea, Biden has criticized President Donald Trump’s’top-down’ method and emphasized a bottom-up approach through practical negotiations.
“Nevertheless, lasting peace with North Korea is a long-term project that requires joint strategy and patience with the US.”
Some experts have diagnosed that there is a possibility of returning to a nuclear test, with concerns that North Korea is not denuclearizing.
Researcher Daniel Depetris’Defense Priority’ commented in a tweet that Chairman Kim “must focus and direct foreign political activities to subdue and subdue the fundamental obstacle to the development of our revolution, the largest main enemy of the United States.” They posted the content, and argued that this was to show again that they were not denuclearizing.
He said, “It’s been a long time since the time to completely eliminate North Korea’s nuclear weapons program,” he said. Even if such a thing happens, it will take decades. “Beltway’s obsession with myopic denuclearization should be reminded again and again.” Showed a critical position.
Ankit Panda, a senior researcher at the American Federation of Scientists (FAS), commented on the North Korean announcement in a tweet, “My answer is’not very surprising’ in terms of’how amazing this is’,” and said that he would develop a small and lightweight tactical nuclear weapon. “It’s a big problem,” he pointed out, “probably means a return to nuclear test.”
“We will one day have one of the most important declarations of qualitative nuclear modernization planned by North Korea,” he feared.
