The Spin

Establishment-critical narrative

The world just cannot ignore the successful performance of North Korea's newly tested intermediate-range hypersonic ballistic missile, so Pyongyang's goal to ramp up its own deterrence and defense has been achieved. Now, the enemies of North Korea better think twice before trying to harm its security.

The Pyongyang Times

Pro-establishment narrative

Pyongyang is likely to have exaggerated the flight distance and the very existence of a second peak, but one can never overestimate the threat that North Korea poses to the free world — especially now that the reclusive nuclear-armed state is deepening its military alliance with Russia.
