This is not the North Korean dictator speaking: "we are prepared to use nuclear weapons in defense of our country if necessary"

"Deputy Defense Secretary Robert Work, who witnessed the launch, said the U.S. tests, conducted at least 15 times since January 2011, send a message to strategic rivals like Russia, China and North Korea that Washington has an effective nuclear arsenal." "And that is a signal ... that we are prepared to use nuclear weapons in defense of our country if necessary." "The nuclear spending boost is an ironic turn for a president who made reducing U.S. dependence on atomic weapons a centerpiece of his agenda during his first years in office." "He received the Nobel Peace Prize in part based on his stance on reducing atomic arms."
