North Korea's latest tests are insufficient to prove weapon reliability, and there are no signs of an impending attack
Alarm over the DPRK’s new weapon is ill-advised, as its main purpose is for signaling rather than military use
The current campaign of punitive economic and strategic pressure is necessary as long as Kim Jong Un is in power
Negotiations and concessions haven't induced the DPRK's nuclear disarmament. Maximum pressure is all that’s left.
