I mean, using nukes offensively was never on the table to anybody simply because of the fact that they would turn the entire world on them simultaneously. This is not a great prediction that it was about deterrence. However I'll believe a peace treaty when I see a real effort.
Reading the posts people make here, you would think Marshall Kim Jong Un is a mentally unstable imperialist that wants to nuke and conquer the ROK and Japan. People were like “he’s a mad man, so he might just push the button”. Such bullshit... his nuclear strategy is perfectly rational.

From the article:
The nuclear weapons project is about deterrence and furthering Kim Jong Un's strategic goals. "Peace" is sort of a meaningless word here... what does peace look like, and what are the North Koreans willing to give up to obtain it?
So a country that isn’t harming any other country and is just doing it’s own thing, needs to give up on stuff to live in peace? Every country has the right to national sovereignty and peace... we can’t just deny them these rights and go over there and tell them what to do. Don’t you see how imperialist your position is? How would we react if Russia and China formed a super powerful alliance and threatened the US with war if they didn’t give up on this or that.

no one who has half a brain thinks he's a warmonger. Just a piece of shit who created nukes so that he could continue to enslave, torture, and kill his own people so that his select class of chosen few can prosper while the country sinks into the shit around him.
Are you aware of the height difference between your people and the people of the south? you've been starved into a different worse class of human. keep sucking off the guy who does it so that you dont end up in a gulag tho, i cant blame you for not wanting to go to the place you've watched your countrymen head to with their families.
Again, I don’t live in the DPRK. But... are you aware that the DPRK is on a forced isolation by the rest of the world? And that it for years it has faced a constant threat of foreign invasion?
They can’t import food, and the government is forced to prioritize the military budget. Luckily things will change now that the nuclear program is a success.
