Briefly

In a speech to military commanders, Kim Jong-un stressed the need for a "limitless" expansion of North Korea's nuclear program, citing US military strategies and alliances as significant threats. The North Korean leader emphasized enhancing military capabilities to confront US-led regional tensions and called on his commanders to prepare for an actual war.
Kim criticized the United States for its collaboration with South Korea and Japan, labeling it as an "Asian NATO" that promotes regional instability. He expressed that the US’s strategies only serve to justify North Korea's nuclear development, framing it as a necessary response to the emerging military alliances in the region.

He indicated that this was part of a broader strategy to create a global military influence, which directly impacts North Korea's sovereignty and security.
