But the North Koreans aren\u2019t simply repeating old failures. \u00a0And they aren\u2019t taking the slow path to developing a reliable system, with a year or so between each test to analyze the data and make improvements. That has been their practice in the past, and it is what we expected this time once they had one successful flight for the cameras. Instead, they are continuing with an aggressive test schedule that involves, at least this time, demonstrating new operational capabilities. That increases the probability of individual tests failing, but it means they will learn more with each test even if it does result in failure. If they continue at this rate, the Musudan intermediate-range ballistic missile could enter operational service sometime next year\u2013much sooner than had previously been expected.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It would be interesting to have this topic brought up at the final Presidential debate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Which any reasonable person knows &#8211; but it&#8217;s unsettling when it&#8217;s a declared enemy mucking about with missiles.
