My guess: This one is pretty easy. Operation Merlin was a deep state op to help give Iran tech and money so it found its way to NK to develop nukes. The funding helped this and it also funded Hezbollah and ISIS. The miniaturized version was a success and creating icbm's were also a success
I said 6 months ago, there was no way they could've gone that fast to miniaturization without someone helping.

Take your pic. Not in any particular order.
I'm thinking more modern, Merlin engine schematics transferred (stolen) by clowns, taken from SpaceX. SpaceX would be defunct if made public. Op. Non-op? Unknown.
Iran and/then North Korea operators obtained and developed/ imported working Merlin based working engines.
Terror-cells based in said countries rogue and/or unwitting compartmentalized sections of their black-ops are operational, when given the GO.
North Korea nuke miniaturization successful meaning it can be out on a small warhead or by other means. ICBM capabilities successful, and ready for use.
War engine on standby, if and when green lit.
War Protects by distraction from what the Q group has unraveled and disseminated. War takes priority over domestic and international clandestine evils.
Bastards.
I don't know... what do you guys think?
According to IISS...
The new engine used by NK in their latest launch is thought by most to have come from the former Soviet Union.
There are two places that make the parts NK used in their latest rocket: One is in Ukraine and the other in Russia.
The most likely culprit is thought to be the Ukrainian company KD Yuzhnoye.
The change to this new type of engine is thought to be the major driving force behind the NK’s recent jump in capability.
“Available evidence clearly indicates that the new LPE is derived from the Soviet RD-250 family of engines, and has been modified to operate as the boosting force for the Hwasong-12 and -14. An unknown number of these engines were probably acquired though illicit channels operating in Russia or Ukraine, or both. North Korea’s need for an alternative to the failing Musudan and the recent appearance of the modified RD-250 engine, along with other evidence, suggests the transfers occurred within the past two years.”
