North Korea's Nuclear Program and the United States Policy of Strategic Patience
Abstract
For over 60 years, North Korea has successfully developed its nuclear and missile programs for the sole purpose of ensuring regime survival. To ensure regime survival, North Korea will continue to develop its nuclear capabilities and will never abandon it, regardless of what the United States imposes upon it. Because of this, the United States must change its policy towards North Korea and begin working on a policy that focuses specifically on nuclear safety and security while encouraging regional dialog focusing on improving regional trust.
