Playing peace is not easy

There is an argument that whilst winning the war, we lost the peace on the Korean Peninsula, 56 years ago, and that we are now reaping the harvest of that failure.

That is why we are likely to see little concrete action taken against the North Korean regime.

North Korea's audacious actions over the past 24 hours also highlight that space is arguably one of the new frontlines in a world of ever changing threats and uncertainties.

If we only grasp one reality from recent events that is surely one worth grasping with both hands and running with.
