The Spin

This launch is unacceptable. To maintain peace and security across the Korean Peninsula and beyond, Pyongyang must stop its provocative and destabilizing acts. North Korea must also promptly resume disarmament talks instead of cooperating with Russia by providing weapons and soldiers.

The US and its regional allies are to blame for escalated tensions on the peninsula, and this test should wake them up to their approach to relations in this region. North Korea, Russia, and China have never been closer, and the US must rethink its policies if it wants to ensure its security moving forward.
