eh, egypt, a US ally was caught importing NK weapons in blatant disregard for sanctions. nukes are certainly another level but its not like they are going to ask russia and china's permission. if sanctions continue to tighten and tighten, it will only serve to make NK more interested in selling to whoever can get them oil/money/food.

"Nuclear bombs don't kill people, people kill people."
Kim knows once he either nukes SK or Japan its "game over" for him. The whole hype about him being able to hit US mainland doesn't change anything to the whole situation. Kim is a 3rd gen totalitarian dictator, he's a smart guy. He has seen how it went with Kahdaffi and Saddam Hussain when they didn't have nukes. His motives are not offensive but defensive. Trump's rethoric only justifies his agenda, fuel his resolve and speedens the development in their tech.
China and Russia wont let Kim export either nuclear knowledge or equipment. To much to jeopardy for their own interests.
