Kim Jong-un, the still youthful ruler of North Korea, is usually dismissed as dangerous and a “madman”. The latest missile strike into the waters of Japan, passing as it did over populated areas of Hokkaido and triggering sirens and some alarm, shows that, whatever a psychiatrist might make of him, Mr Kim has the capacity to fashion his interventions with impressive skill and judgement.
