North Korea "doesn't change its nuclear force line"...UN Warnings to the United States

Kim Yo Jong "will not give up on nuclear force enhancement line" statement
"Don't do stupid things expecting changes in North Korea"
Kim Jong-un observes ICBM test launch..."I won't give up on the nuclear line".

[Reporter]
Following North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, Kim Yo-jong has repeatedly insisted that there can be no change in the route of strengthening nuclear force.

The U.N. Security Council meeting to deal with North Korea's ICBM issue and the U.S. presidential election are raising the level of threat.

Kim Yo Jong, the younger brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, announced a statement that he would not give up his nuclear force strengthening policy.

He insisted that there could be no change in the route and that he should not do anything stupid to expect a change in North Korea.

At the same time, he protested why only North Korea should refrain at a time when nuclear-based adversaries threaten with unprecedented provocations.

The statement is a two-day repetition of what Chairman Kim Jong-un said while observing the test-fire of a new intercontinental ballistic missile and ICBM.

It also harshly criticized U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres.

It appears to be conscious of the U.N. Security Council, which will convene on the 4th local time in the U.S. to discuss the launch of a new ICBM.

For North Korea, if Russia opposes it, it will be difficult to impose additional sanctions, so we have no choice but to further strengthen honeymoon relations with Russia.

It is also possible that North Korean Foreign Minister Choi Sun-hee discussed the issue of sending additional troops on a large scale during talks with his Russian counterpart in Moscow.

North Korea's recent provocations and tough tone are also coupled with the impending U.S. presidential election.

This is because there is also a pre-stop work to encourage dialogue between the U.S. and North Korea by highlighting their presence and to increase their negotiating power.

In addition, some analysts say that North Korea's self-calling of the new ICBM as a complete version is an exaggeration to show off to the United States, even though the new ICBM remains technically inadequate.
