North Korea's rapidly expanding nuclear arsenal is approaching a critical threshold: it may soon be large enough to overwhelm the ground-based missile defense systems the United States has spent billions developing over the past three decades.
According to a Bloomberg analysis, the growing number of warheads and delivery systems in Pyongyang's arsenal could saturate the US defensive network, which is designed to intercept a limited number of incoming missiles. This development raises serious questions about the long-term viability of America's missile defense strategy.
On the latest episode of the Big Take Asia podcast, Bloomberg's K. Oanh Ha and Jon Herskovitz discuss how North Korea's nuclear buildup is straining US defenses and what it means for regional security.
