Quote:What does North Korea intend? North Korea threatens to attack US according to Kim Myong-chol, the middle son of Kim Jong-il and leading Pyongyang official. or, more recently, NKorea accuses US of plotting war, which in this case means using our influence at the UN Security council to apply sanctions against N Korea for their recent ballistic missile test.Did you actually read those articles? Because both of them are about North Korea's intent to use nuclear weapons as a *deterrent* against a theoretical US first strike.
I mean, not to make this an equivalence or anything, but I'm pretty sure that's your country's policy towards them as well.
Not to mention the fact that they're totally bluffing. Kim Jong Il might we weird, but he's not tired of living. A strike of any significance would result in his country being flattened; a nuclear strike would mean reducing Pyongyang to radioactive ashes.
