This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that follows North Korea:

Gen. Mark Milley (R), chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, is seen speaking in a security forum hosted by the Aspen Institute in Washington on Nov. 3, 2021, in this image captured from the YouTube channel of the Washington-based think tank.

An accidental conflict with North Korea is unlikely anytime soon with Pyongyang maintaining a very tight grip on its military, the chairman of U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff said Wednesday.
Gen. Mark Milley also dismissed the possibility of something accidental taking place within the North or its military in the near future.
“I would say that the government of North Korea at this point in time appears to be stable and they have good control over their military and their systems and all of their weaponry, etc,” the top U.S. military officer said in a forum hosted by the Aspen Institute think tank in Washington.
“So I don’t think you would see something accidental happen from them. It could, but I don’t think that’s highly probable. They have very, very tight control over their system,” he added when asked about the level of control North Korea has over its weapons and internal security.
