Kim Jong Un’s Show of Strength: How Will the International Community Respond?
- last year
North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un, has shown off his latest asset to protect his government: a high-speed missile capable of delivering a nuclear warhead to the United States and a teenage daughter who protects a Cold War-era dynastic family.
Images released by the country’s official media of a military parade in Pyongyang on Thursday showed the largest single display of intercontinental ballistic missiles by Kim Jong Un in nearly a decade in power. The Hwasong-17, believed to be the largest cruise ICBM in the world, has 11 canisters and five canisters for new fuel ICBMs, experts said.
