Editor's note

North Korea tested an immediate-range ballistic missile on Saturday, an event which just happened to coincide with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s first visit to the US under Donald Trump's presidency.

Both leaders condemned the move but what can actually be done to stop the secluded state’s march towards nuclear capability? Sanctions haven’t worked, says Lully Miura, so we need to go back to the drawing board and try a whole new approach.
