It increasingly looks like the outcome of this crisis is going to be binary, either the hawks will choose a N-war or they will swallow their pride and ego and accept the Russian proposal of a double freeze!

Me, in the @nytimes in August, warning about an over-ocean atmospheric nuclear test.

^ Thats exactly how the media described the Korean missiles earlier – a “projectile”. And if we take Trump’s own word after his well deserved Presidential victory – “they are not laughing anymore”.

Anyway, we might be able to settle few questions once and for all, namely – if the Korean missiles have the range to cover the entire continental US, if their reentry technology is matured enough and if they have a working thermo-nuclear warhead for their ICBMs. All courtesy of the murican hawks and their skepticism as mentioned in the above article.
