As the US presidential election approaches, North Korea's latest test launch of the ICBM capable of striking the continental US should send shockwaves through the US foreign policy establishment. North Korea is raising regional tensions, and Pyongyang's test launch significantly threatens US national security.
Kim Jung Un, the Supreme Leader of North Korea, sent a powerful message to all of his enemes with Thursday's ICBM test. It was a clear show of the DPRK's strategic capabilities and credibility in terms of its nuclear deterrence.
There is an 18% chance that North and South Korea will be at war before 2050, according to WPR and the Meteaculus prediction community.
