“North Korea’s recent nuclear and missile tests are driving some welcome changes in South Korean strategy.” Namely, Seoul will install a U.S. built missile defense system and close the Kaesong industrial zone.

If North Korea’s test missile flies over Japan, “the U.S. should do everything it can to help Japan follow through” by shooting down the missile. “The Taepodong 2 has a range of 6,000 kilometers, so a successful test could put Alaska at risk. Previous tests may have been duds, but nobody should treat them as jokes.”
