I'd agree. To early to say for sure who "won" or who is "winning."
Personally I think the United States "won" this round and is "winning," The North Korean leader will need opportunities to save face. As a long time friend of North Korea, Russian, leadership including Putin will need ways to exit gracefully. I understand all of this.
If he conducts another test without a kinetic response ,then yes he has won
