David Isenberg of the Washington-based British American Security Information Council (BASIC) writes for Asia Times:
The US is activating its missile defense system in response to North Korea possibly test-firing an intercontinental ballistic missile, presuming it even has one to fire. Pyongyang has nothing to fear. The multibillion-dollar US program is years away from readiness to [...]
