Playing With The Bomb - A high-stakes nuclear standoff with global implications

When North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un brought the world to the brink of nuclear war, it was under the watchful eyes of the West and aided by a complex international network of nuclear dealers.

The world was neither blind nor powerless, yet North Korea's nuclear ambitions involved many players and spectators, making the situation far from over. The conflict between Kim Jong Un and then-U.S. President Donald Trump was intense, but it might not be the final chapter.

Behind the scenes, other powers such as Iran, Syria, Ukraine, and Hezbollah have been closely monitoring the situation, ready to step in and assert their influence. This dangerous game of nuclear brinkmanship threatens to escalate further, with an uncertain outcome.
