Kim Jong-un said North Korea will 'preemptively' use nuclear weapons against countries it deems a 'threat' as it seeks to make more nukes.

Kim seems to be using the West’s attention on Ukraine in his favour as the UN Security Council remains divided and effectively paralysed over the war in Europe. The celebration, marking the 90th anniversary of North Korea’s army, comes at the end of Kim’s year-long campaign to step up his nuclear arsenal. At the event, he said his dictatorship would continue to ‘strengthen and develop its nuclear forces at the maximum speed’.

“Taken together with ambitions for tactical nuclear warheads, submarine-based launch capabilities, and more sophisticated ICBMs, Pyongyang is not simply looking to deter an attack. Smaller warheads would also be necessary for the North’s pursuit of a multi-warhead ICBM. There are also signs that North Korea is rebuilding tunnels at a nuclear testing ground that was last active in 2017. KCNA said Kim called his military officials to praise their work during Monday’s parade, where the North showcased the biggest weapons in its nuclear arsenal, including intercontinental ballistic missiles that could potentially reach the U.S. homeland. Yoon, during his campaign, also talked about enhancing the South’s preemptive strike capabilities and missile defenses. Kim has stuck to his goals of simultaneously developing nuclear weapons and the country’s dismal economy in the face of international pressure and has shown no willingness to fully surrender a nuclear arsenal he sees as his biggest guarantee of survival.

"This type of nuclear thinking creates an unstable dynamic prone to accidents or misunderstanding." But other North Korean statements have appeared to undercut those principles. In 2016, for example, North Korea's military threatened to carry out a "pre-emptive nuclear strike of justice" against South Korea and the United States. In 2013 North Korea promulgated a law on its position as a nuclear weapons state - the official document that comes closest to a nuclear doctrine. North Korea says that it opposes war, that its nuclear weapons are for self-defence, and that they are necessary to protect itself in the face of "hostile" policies from Washington, South Korea, and Japan. Analysts said that Kim's latest speech builds on previous statements and policies by North Korea, and appears to mirror language used by the United States' latest Nuclear Posture Review, which says it will use nuclear weapons to defend its "vital interests'' or those of its allies.
