In early September of this year, North Korea again tested the atomic bomb, thus demonstrating to the world powers the readiness to continue the development of its nuclear program.
Judging by satellite imagery, preparations for nuclear testing began in July. And on September 9, on the Independence Day of the DPRK, the tests were finally held.
According to experts, the exploded nuclear device became the most impressive in the history of the North Korean nuclear program - the charge power was 10 kilotons.
Over the past few months, North Korean rocketeers have shown strong results. They succeeded in producing several successful launches of long-range ballistic missiles.
The launch of a ballistic missile, which is designed exclusively for submarines, was also successful.
To date, there is no reason that could slow such a rapid development of the North Korean nuclear program.
Until recently, China could have exerted pressure on the DPRK. But in recent years, he has changed relations with Pyongyang, being able to actually monopolize trading with North Korea - it accounts for 90% of the total foreign trading turnover of a nuclear neighbor.
Negotiations are not likely to take place until a full-fledged nuclear missile complex, as well as means for delivering nuclear weapons, are available to Pyongyang.
If North Korea enters into negotiations, at best, the result will be the freezing of the country's nuclear program, and not a cessation. In addition, there is a high probability that even for minor concessions, the DPRK will ask for a fairly high price.
