News is being made about N. Korea releasing nuclear secrets after holding out quite a bit of time. With this ground breaking news now, and not earlier, does it give you an idea that N. Korea was tiding up the paper work they wanted to be released.

Could you enlighten me as to why this paperwork could not be released on day one of asking. Why a nation would refuse to hand over information, then come forth with it?

I understand one reason would be "exchange for economic, diplomatic and security benefits", and they are having a cooling tower blown up, but something doesn't sit well with me. Possibly N. Korea invested millions of wŏn and didn't see themselves moving forward so it is now time to pull the plug. Furthermore why does the U.S get to tell other countries to stop dangerous activities. Super-power/ Empire / Regime ?
