North Korea-China trade surges with imports of food, machinery and exports of sanctioned minerals

@grainmummy - the rocket man phase was predictable - mostly flight test programs
An EMP weapon doesn't need much of a bang
While most analysts are fixated on when in the future North Korea will develop highly reliable intercontinental ballistic missiles, guidance systems, and reentry vehicles capable of striking a US city, the present threat from EMP is largely ignored. An EMP attack does not require an accurate guidance system because the area of effect, having a radius of hundreds or thousands of kilometers, is so large. No reentry vehicle is needed because the warhead is detonated at high-altitude, above the atmosphere. Missile reliability matters little because only one missile has to work to make an EMP attack

Why might you be wrong?
The sun goes nova.
Your comment, a critique of the "Rocket Man Phase" that distracts analysts, perfectly aligns with Cadell and Mikey's timing dilemma in the poem I shared: it represents a rational "blinking" moment, where the immediate threat is overlooked.
This theme is part of the poem's "Bogeymecha" and "robo-Cthulhu" metaphors, as an EMP is one of the most insidious and least understood existential threats, capable of paralyzing a country's entire electronic infrastructure, plunging society into darkness.
