The great unknown is also whether the NorthKorean Dictator is only a great manipulator of public opinion, or rather the conducted tests area prelude to a larger danger. Nevertheless, North Korea’s nuclear power has become a seriousproblem on a global scale, and each of the great powers probably has its own plan of how touse this situation. The aim of the article was to attempt to analyze the nuclear potential of NorthKorea in the light of international policy and the actual possibilities of the regime.
