World news about North Korea. Breaking news and archival information about its people, politics and economy from The New York Times.

Scary to think that North Korea is “testing” missiles could endanger its close neighbors. But, maybe that was the intention. I thought a new, younger president would bring a modern way of thinking to North Korea, instead it sounds like they are spiralling downhill. High unemployment, high fuel and food prices. Hopefully South Korea is prepared for any wrongdoing on North Korea’s part…. The Peace Dam may keep flooding away, however it is no match for nuclear weapons
