The Cold War still rages in North Korea, and enemy No. 1 is the United States, which Pyongyang blames for making its much-condemned drive to develop nuclear weapons necessary.
A rich vein of propaganda fuelled by decades-old American threats holds that North Korea remains at risk of an unprovoked nuclear attack, though Washington and others say brinksmanship is the North's true motive.
North Korea's latest nuclear test in February, its third, has led even China, its only major ally, to support another round of punishing UN Security Council sanctions. Washington and Beijing have approved a draft resolution that is expected to be circulated this week.
Pyongyang uses Cold War history with the US to justify nuclear weapons as a necessity for a small, proud country, faced with Washington’s ‘ceaseless nuclear blackmail and sanctions racket,’ North Korea made ‘the strategic resolution.’
