North Korea's Recent Missile and 'Projectile' Tests Need Your Attention
Pyongyang is developing sophisticated systems that Seoul and Washington don't have a way to shoot down. Here is a breakdown of what Kim tested this year.
North Korea is gradually losing its motivation and patience to make its headway in the face of slow progress in talks, joint military exercises, and South Korea’s continuous deployment of new weapons such as F-35 jets. Taking all this into account, it is ever more urgent for the United States to present a tangible deal that could bring North Korea back to the table. Another round of threats such as “fire and fury” will surely be much more challenging to extinguish.
