Thae Yong-Ho in his first press conference since fleeing his post as North Korea’s deputy ambassador to Britain in August, revealed that Kim had issued a directive at a rare ruling party congress in May to “complete” nuclear development by the end of next year.
“With South Korea holding presidential elections and the US undergoing an administration transition, the North sees 2017 as the prime time for nuclear development,” Thae said.
He further added “That’s based on a calculation that the US and South Korea will not be able to take physical, military measures because they are tied up with domestic politics.”
In 2016 North Korea carried out two nuclear tests and numerous missile launches in pursuit of its ultimate goal of a deterrent capable of delivering a nuclear warhead to the US mainland. Opinion of analysts differs as to how close Pyongyang is to realising that ambition, given the fact that it has never successfully tested an inter-continental ballistic missile.
There is a unanimous agreement that Kim has made enormous strides in that direction since he took over as leader from his father.

Well they can't really invade the US, so they are just developing a way to attack them.
Before Pearl Harbor similar things might have been said about Japan.
