KIM JONG UN JUST LAID OUT NORTH KOREA’S NEXT 5 YEARS: MORE MISSILES, A NUCLEAR SUB, AND HIS DAUGHTER BY HIS SIDE
Kim visited major munitions factories and made it clear where his priorities are:
“The country’s missile and shell production sector is of paramount importance in bolstering war deterrent.”
He ratified documents for modernizing North Korea’s weapons industry ahead of a key party congress in early 2026 that will set the country’s development plan for the next five years.
This comes days after Kim was photographed overseeing construction of an 8,700-ton nuclear-powered submarine alongside his daughter, widely believed to be his chosen heir.
They also watched the test-firing of long-range surface-to-air missiles.
The timing is notable.
South Korea and the U.S. just agreed to pursue a “separate agreement” for Seoul to build nuclear submarines.
Both sides said they’re exploring ways to restart talks with Pyongyang in early 2026.
Kim’s response: more weapons, more missiles, and grooming the next generation of leadership.
He’s not waiting for diplomacy. He’s building.
