Fox News senior strategic analyst Gen. Jack Keane weighs in after North Korea missile launches trigger evacuation alerts in Japan on ‘Your World.’
SEOUL, South Korea – Last week, North Korea launched at least 30 missiles and hundreds of artillery shells after threats from Pak Jong Chon, secretary of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea. He strongly condemned the joint military drills between South Korea and the United States, saying that “the U.S. and South Korea will get to know what an irrevocable and awful mistake they made.” While many observers looked to dissect his statement as a threat of a nuclear test, others believe North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is biding his time.
“I think Kim has been holding off on a nuclear test because he wants to rub it into the U.S. and South Korea with a major Hwasong-17 ICBM test before escalating further with a nuclear test,” Sung-Yoon Lee, a professor at the Fletcher School at Tufts University, told Fox News Digital.
Recalling the failure of imposing new U.N. Security Council resolutions even after the North tested ICBMs this year, Lee added that the North Korean leader “has nothing to lose by taking his time and continuing his strategy of graduated escalation before delivering his coup de grâce, a major nuclear test or even a series of tests.”
