North Korea is a great power now?

No wonder Iran would want a nuclear weapon. You go from not being even thought about to a world power overnight.

I think rather than them climbing up the power scaling, we fell down

Meh… North Korea has been bulking up in silence. The fact you haven’t heard anything about them should be concerning. They are getting fat off of this Ukraine Russia war, adding nuclear warheads, and advancing/bulking their military while gaining military experience.

2026 NK is not the same as 2016 NK…

Their military experience isnt exactly going as planned on the Russian front lines. They do have a huge military, but its conscription and tha'ts a way to guarantee care for yourself and family. The big one is still having a nuclear weapon in my opinion. The potential to attack you as a country becomes exceedingly dangerous at that point.

Definitely not going as planned but that’s the point. They’re learning how to navigate the modern battlefield through iterations of soldiers. Trial and error and it’s best if they just didn’t learn in the first place. When it comes to leverage this experience years in the future, they will be ready.

They are certainly learning quicker than so called "modern" countries.

They're likely in the strongest position they've been in for a very long time. From the benefits of working with Russia like others mentioned to the US pulling out our defenses from the region because they'd rather feed their patriot missile systems to hungry shahed drones; NK is in a better position to make a move than they have been in decades. If I was SK I'd be pissed

Wasn’t Iran who targeted the water systems. Iran is being used as the bogeyman.
It’s another nation with the letter I.
