neither side can resist returning to brinkmanship immediately after any talks ... I expect Pakistan will have another "test" within a few weeks, ostensibly part of a regular schedule ...

wasn't it Blofeld in the James Bond classic "Diamonds Are Forever" who criticized the world's powers as "flexing their muscles like so many impotent beach boys"? ... trouble is, the warheads that these missile would launch are terribly potent ...

This is (at least) the 2nd launch since March. The initial was with a shorter range missile (200km+-). This one is 700 km. Is the increase in range a message?
