Korea: Hope Versus Reality
11th January 2022
North Korea carried out another ballistic missile test off the east coast. This missile was tracked by South Korea as it traveled 700 kilometers, after reaching a max altitude of 60 kilometers. South Korea pointed out that this was the second such test in a week and not the sort of thing North Korea needs to do if they are serious about negotiating a peace deal with the south and obtaining massive foreign aid as a result.
Since Trump is no longer in office, and the same old Establishment cold-warriors are back in charge, they’re reverting to the only thing in their toolbox. Rather understandable.
