Summary
This document analyzes North Korea's nuclear program, arguing that its tests are practical steps toward functional deterrence rather than mere political signaling, much like U.S. strategy during the Cold War. It contrasts Western views of nuclear weapons as political instruments with the strategic realities of nations like North Korea, Russia, China, and Iran, who view them as vital for national defense.
