Kim Jong-Un is known for announcing the significant steps its taking in the field of nuclear weapons. Recently, Kim did it again by announcing a "miraculous achievement." North Korea tested ballistic missiles, underwater, that shot off far from the North Korean homeland. The missile is described as a "time-bomb" that is capable of going off at any time. The tests are a violation of multiple UN Security Council resolutions. Daniel Pinkston, deputy project director for North East Asia at the International Crisis Group think tank, told CNN that, if authentic, the latest missile test "would be quite significant," since North Korea has been working on these capabilities for decades. "If they can deploy an operational submarine that could launch ballistic missiles armed with nuclear warheads, it would give them a pretty credible second strike capability, and it's difficult to defend against. So it would give them the kind of deterrent that they have said they wish to have," he said. "Everyone knew they had been working on this. I think actual flight test is sooner than people had expected." It is quite alarming to people who actually understand whats going on, and the steps Kim Jong-Un is taking towards nuclear war.
