North Korea has Failed: The Good And Bad

The attempt failed North Korean launch Unha-3, a new three-stage ballistic missile, for obvious reasons greeting. Most of all, it demonstrates the limits of technical mastery in the DPRK. This means that in the United States and around the world more time before they are faced with the possibility that the world in the most closed and militarized in the world has the ability to launch rockets, presumably with nuclear warheads over long distances.
But any sigh of relief should be moderate. First, the fact that the trials took place at all in a broad international opposition demonstrates the ability of North Korea against outside pressure and isolation. It also means that China, a country with the most influence on North Korea is still unwilling to use that influence decisively.
Secondly, North Korea remains a military threat. He still has the highest number of dozens of nuclear warheads, were short-range missiles, as well as a great classic fighting force. This is the same country's army, and vice versa.
The third and perhaps the most immediate failure of the test humiliating to reverse the country's new leader, Kim Jong Un. Probably the main reason for running was to announce the appearance and enhance their power. So there is a real risk that he will turn to the tried and true way to achieve the same goal.
If history is a guide, assuming that the test of a nuclear warhead or some sort of aggressive military action - for example, an artillery strike - against South Korea may be on the horizon. And if this scenario happens, South Korea, unlike in previous cases, this will almost certainly get another. And if that happens, a serious and escalating military confrontation on the peninsula, the Korean territory, where the United States, China, Japan and others have vital interests, may well materialize. This is the last outpost of the Cold War, ignored or forgotten by many, remains a potential threat to the post-Cold War international order.
