Analysts cast doubts on theories that North Korea is preparing for war against South Korea. Even after recent missile tests and aggressive rhetoric from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, many experts believe that the country’s goal is to coerce and intimidate its neighbor, rather than engage in actual military conflict. The escalating tensions are seen as part of a strategy to manipulate and control South Korea politically, rather than through violent occupation. The prevailing view among analysts is that North Korea’s actions are driven by a desire to assert its dominance and extract concessions, rather than pursue outright war. This interpretation is supported by declassified intelligence council estimates, which indicate that Kim is more likely to use force to intimidate than to conquer South Korea.
