Tensions are the worst on the peninsula since 1994, when North Korea and America were a hair's breadth from war. The questions are what to make of all this, and how to respond. Neither is easy. The White House has tried to play down the aggression. The nuclear threat against mainland America is patently hollow: it will be years before the North has the technology to dispatch nuclear-tipped missiles. But there are also depressing reasons to take Kim all too seriously. It does not take much to imagine the cycle of provocation and deterrence getting out of hand. In some ways the North is even scarier under its new ruler than it was under his father, who died in 2011. Now more than ever, America needs to cajole China to press for change in its satellite.
