Is North Korea now the world's major threat?

Folks, North Korea has eventually emerged as a major threat to global security, testing all kinds of missiles, flying some over Japan, and threatening more and more, especially against the United States.

Despite the harsh sanctions and emphatic threatening by the United States and its allies, North Korea is unperturbed as it intensifies its efforts at acquiring nuclear capabilities.

Now, it has conducted a 6th "successful" nuclear test that has put all on edge. Where will it all take us?

No amount of horrifying threat by the US has so far accomplished anything deterrent. China and Russia have cautioned against anything that may worsen the situation. As the US' Donald trump says the US doesn't need any dialogue with North Korea, there appears to be no immediate window of opportunity to use diplomacy instead of military action or intense sanctions to curb North Korea's nuclear ambitions.

There seems to be something terrible afoot.
