Had a chat with @tktang88 today and just found out I missed a super important piece of news. North Korea has tied its leader's safety to its nuclear strike mechanism to prevent decapitation strikes. If external forces carry out a decapitation strike on Kim Jong Un, or take similar actions that incapacitate the supreme leader or attack the nuclear command system, North Korea has a mechanism in place to directly launch a nuclear strike. And this has already been elevated to the constitutional level. This made me rethink my understanding of nuclear weapons. When Trump was suppressing Iran's nuclear capabilities, I didn’t feel much about it. But this situation with North Korea really made me realize that some countries truly shouldn’t have nuclear weapons. Especially highly isolated countries where personal power overrides national institutions. Once they have nuclear capabilities, it’s no longer just a tool for national security—it becomes a ticking time bomb for the entire world. This is an extremely rogue tactic. It’s not essentially telling the world, “Don’t threaten the country,” but rather, “Don’t threaten the regime.” And that’s the scariest part about authoritarian regimes possessing nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons are no longer about protecting a country—they’re about protecting one person, one family, one regime. North Korea’s constitutional amendment this time is essentially sending a signal to the U.S.: North Korea’s nuclear capability is no longer just part of national security—it’s now part of the Kim regime’s security. And that’s the most dangerous part. Once North Korea starts thinking and acting this way, who’s next??
