"North Korean Leader Calls for Increased Nuclear Arsenal Amid Escalating 'Cold War'"

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has called for a significant increase in the production of nuclear weapons and for North Korea to play a larger role in a coalition of nations confronting the United States in what he describes as a "new Cold War." Kim made these comments during a session of the country's parliament, which also amended the constitution to include his policy of expanding the country's nuclear weapons program. This comes after Kim's recent visit to Russia, raising concerns about a possible arms alliance between North Korea and Russia. Kim's push for nuclear capabilities is in response to what he perceives as a growing threat from the United States and its military cooperation with South Korea and Japan.
