Ask A North Korean North Koreans’ nuclear prideKnowing that other countries' look down on their poverty, Northerners embrace nuclear capabilities
Every week we ask a North Korean your questions, giving you the chance to learn more about the country we know so little about. This week’s question is: What do ordinary North Koreans think of the regime’s nuclear tests and possession of nuclear weapons? Do they just act as if they support the regime’s decision because they have no other choice while secretly disapproving of it? No, to my knowledge most ordinary North Koreans don’t have negative opinions of the regime’s nuclear program. When I was still living in North Korea, the regime had a successful nuclear test.
