NK to drop nuclear and ICBM test moratorium, will test 'shocking' new strategic weapon

Isn't this basically spitting in Trump's face for all the world to see?
And? As he's done in the past he'll just tweet about how Kim is one tough cookie and how they'll make a tremendous marvelous deal the best deal you've ever seen.
I'll believe it when I see it.
Maybe Kim Jong Un figured out a way to weaponize petty baby-like whining (and did it before Trump could!)

That's honestly what I meant. Trump has telegraphed how much he wishes he was Kim.
I wonder if North Korea meant Orthodox Christmas, which falls on January 7, 2020.

Maybe not near guam but if they're doing a atmospheric test it would have to be somewhere in the pacific since I doubt they'll test it in the sea of japan
I don't think NK would like the message they got back if that happened. The odds of that are near zero.
Kim, because he could style it in so many ways that wouldn't look ridiculous. He didn't have that stupid haircut before. With Trump, it's either his current hairstyle or bald. And you don't want to see a bald Trump.

I'm sure Kim is shitting himself thinking about the tweet Trump is gonna make.
lol I hate Trump as much as the next person, but if NK dropped a nuke towards and near a US territory, NK will likely get wiped off the face of the earth - or at the very least, Un's reign is over.

Just like NK is gonna get wiped off the map when they're close to getting nukes...oh wait.
Just like NK is gonna get wiped off the map when they develop a ICBM...oh wait.
US is gonna do shit other than dropping another round of sanctions if NK drops a nuke 200 km off guam.
Not even Trump is gonna kill millions of SK or Japanese citizens because this dumbass dropped a nuke in the ocean.
Those are very, VERY different things than NK launching a nuke near a US territory. At the very least, Un wants to survive. Doing what the post suggested would put that goal in grave danger.
What the North Korean leadership wants is to retain power and make military conflict so horrifying that most rivals won't seriously try it now. From that perspective, maintaining a nuclear weapons program is "essential".
Right, but there is a difference between maintaining the program, and actively antagonizing a country that would wipe them out in a blink, and another country (China) that could destroy what little economy they have left.
Has NK ever actually put a nuke on a ICBM, launched it and then detonated the nuke? That could very well be the next step.
I feel Beijing still sees the value in a North Korean buffer enough that they would tolerate weapons development on their part. I also get the personal feeling that Pres. Xi might be have a harder line on supporting North Korea than his predecessors.
NK's value to China as a buffer has it's limits. China isn't stupid.
China has also started relations with some defence thing in South Korea
