I tend to underestimate Russian aggression. Trump's current threats against NATO ally Kingdom of Denmark might be the invitation Putin needs to act against Moldova, which has a weak military, thus a low hanging fruit.

As long as Netanyahu remains in power, no chance.

If Netnayhu loses power, who might succeed him? And how long would it take for one of the listed nations to establish diplomatic relations?  What is the carrot or stick?

Although China had become expert at wielding soft power, it might take advantage of special circumstances.

Why do you think you're right?

So far there is no news of a new nuclear test site. The forecasters who argue that the new tunnel at the wreakage of the old test site might be used. However, the nuclear fallout likely from using that exploratory tunnel should deter Kim Jong Un.

In addition, like all other nuclear powers, once "enough" data has been gathered, they all have ceased tests. In the olden times, lacking today's computational technologies, the US and USSR conducted many tests, ending in 1992. In the case of North Korea, the last test was a hydrogen bomb, the pinnacle of nuclear explosives, and that nation has access to substantial computational technologies. North Korea's leader is well educated and sane, suggesting that he won't damage his nation with nuclear pollution and won't waste resources now that he can use computational means to design new warheads.
