Some experts said the North Korean weapons tests were also a demonstration of its expanding weapons arsenal aimed at boosting its leverage ahead of new talks with the United States.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\" mco-body-item mco-body-type-text\">\n<p class=\"element element-paragraph\">Most of the North Korean weapons tested in July and August have been short range. This suggests that North Korea hasn&#8217;t wanted to lift its self-imposed moratorium on nuclear and long-range missile tests, which would certainly derail negotiations with Washington.\u00a0 &#8211; article<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Basically, the Guy With a God Complex Since Birth isn\u2019t getting to have his way, so he\u2019s doing whatever he can to spook both the USA and his neighbors to the South. And Pres. Trump has said he has never asked Fatty Kim da T&#8217;ird to end short-range missile tests<\/p>\n<p>. Unfortunately for ND:tBF&#8217;s\u00a0 plans, the South Korean military is quite up to snuff. While some of the coastal islands are erroneously claimed by Norkiland, the South is not amused by Nork antics.
