If you follow my blog you know that my idea was not that the US tamed Kim. Simply he could not get wrong the next missile.
And it did not. This is an ICBM. On a proper trajectory (depending on payload) can hit New York or Washington or anywhere it chooses with a range of 13,000km.
Moreover for the first time is a rapid deployment one. North Korea learned to refuel horrizontally and so it can deployed fast.
All this means that a real nuclear ICBM could be deployed in the second half of 2018.
If Trump wants to take care of NK as he says – the safer window is beween now and September 2018.
Sanctions and pressure will not work.
The market will not care until it is too late. Be warned.
