North Korea created ripples around the globe announcing to go ahead with its first nuclear test despite international pressure.

The horrendous idea clearly depicts North Korea’s maneuver to bring White House face-to-face on the negotiating table and lift economic sanctions. North Korea has not yet disclosed the exact date of the test; however, American intelligence officials are reluctant to believe that any such test is in the offing despite the fact that North Korea possesses massive plutonium fuel stock and is quite capable of executing its hideous plans.

North Korea’s Foreign Ministry clearly stated on Tuesday:

The U.S. extreme threat of a nuclear war and sanctions and pressure compel the D.P.R.K. to conduct a nuclear test, an essential process for bolstering nuclear deterrent, as a self-defense measure in response.

North Korea indicated long back that the nation possesses a “nuclear deterrent” but this is the first time it has declared it in the open, challenging global powers and asking them to accept North Korea as a well-established “nuclear power”.

No doubt, it’s a provocative action and would further isolate the North Korean regime, which has already lost grounds as a security-stabilizing nation. However, only time will tell, how far North Korea is prepared to take on the heat from China, Japan and the rest of the global community which would certainly never tolerate fresh nuclear tests by any nation.
