The UNSC has long been disqualified to take issue with the DPRK's legitimate step for self-defence as it has gone to the extremes in its application of double-standards by which it labels the tests carried out by the DPRK for self-defence "illegal" but keeps mum about the tests conducted by the U.S. and other countries. https://kcnawatch.co/newstream/1487415802-456468462/foreign-ministry-spokesman-of-dprk-slams-u-s-and-vassal-forces/

"It would be a great thing to denuclearize the peninsula, to get those weapons off of that, but the thing that is most dangerous about it is the character who holds the control over them today.

Separate capacity and someone who might well have intent and break those two apart." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcSjUk8eYww

The frenzied moves of the U.S. to impose unilateral sanctions and stifle the DPRK are not only a gross violation of universal principles of international law such as sovereign equality, right to self-determination and respect for the right to development, but also a brutal criminal act that indiscriminately infringes upon the right to existence of the peaceful civilians. https://kcnawatch.co/newstream/1506924157-27911827/u-s-will-be-made-to-pay-for-its-unilateral-sanctions-on-dprk/

President Trump has made very clear that the U.S. policy is denuclearization of the peninsula and that we are going to achieve that. You see the North Koreans doing what they have historically done, reaching out, trying to find space, trying to come up for air when they are being strangled by a president who’s made very clear that their behavior is unacceptable. http://www.foxnews.com/transcript/2018/01/07/pompeo-pushes-back-against-questions-trumps-fitness.html
