North Korea will gain the capability to deploy nuclear missiles if the world doesn’t force Kim Jong Un to realize his atomic ambitions will lead to the eventual collapse of his regime, South Korean President Park Geun Hye told parliament Tuesday.

“From now, the government will take powerful and practical measures to make North Korea’s regime come to the painful realization that nuclear development will not help it survive but only quicken its regime collapse,” Park in a televised speech. “If time flows like this without a change, Kim Jong Un’s regime, on a reckless run without brakes, will deploy nuclear missiles, and we will suffer fear and fright.”
