New Law Makes Clear that North Korea is Not Giving Up Their Nuclear Weapons

I don’t know how many ways the North Koreans are going to keep telling the international community that they are not going to bargain away their nuclear weapons before someone believes them:

President Yoon Suk-yeol’s recently introduced “audacious initiative,” aimed at enticing North Korea to scrap its nuclear weapons, seems to have already hit a snag as Pyongyang has guaranteed the right to use preemptive nuclear strikes in its new law.

Experts believe that North Korea’s legislation has to do with its efforts to win international recognition as a “nuclear state” while South Korea’s current denuclearization-based overture may require a change in tempo.

The North’s official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported on Friday that the Supreme People’s Assembly, the regime’s rubber-stamp parliament, passed a new law that will enable Pyongyang to automatically launch a nuclear strike if attacked. This replaced a 2013 law which first outlined the North’s nuclear status. 

“The status of our country as a nuclear weapons state has become irreversible,” KCNA quoted North Korean leader Kim Jong-un as saying. “(We will) never give up nuclear weapons and there is absolutely no denuclearization, and no negotiation and no bargaining chip to trade in the process.”

nK saw what happened to Libya when they gave up WMD and tried to join “polite” society. Barry O and Killary saw that he got hanged on a fig tree. Doesn’t inspire someone to negotiate away their ace.
