North Korea ‘Flexes Their Muscles’ As Russia Bulldozes Ukraine; Can US, Japan Conduct Its Own ‘Military Ops’ Against Kim?

New satellite imagery suggests that North Korea has begun construction on its nuclear test site for the first time since 2018.
The California-based James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS) said that there are signs that the construction of a new building and the repair of another are underway at North Korea's Punggye-ri site.
The speed with which North Korea is testing missiles, and now starting to rebuild its testing site, is worrying. North Korea is taking advantage of a world distracted by the Russian invasion of Ukraine to advance its weapons program. The US, Japan and South Korea need to take measures to maintain stability in Asia.
North Korea for years made a goodwill effort towards diplomacy with the West and denuclearization, but all it got in return was snubbed and strong-armed. Sanctions were not lightened, and agreements were continously sabotaged. North Korea has been pushed into a corner by the West.
