Ok, so here we have a mad dictator who is keen on challenging the world. Of course I speak of North Korea's Kim Jung Un. This lunatic appears hell bent on destroying not only the US and South Korea but also his own people. Lets be clear, if he decides to take on the US he will end up like al-Gaddafi or Saddam. Done. So what is he really on about? Does he really want war? I think the answer is no. The North Koreans are attempting to project power or at least the appearance of it to 1) bolster domestic support and 2) secure concessions from the West and South Korea (or at least get the UN sanctions lifted). That said, North Korea is a highly unstable country and the slightest spark or incident could ignite a regional war. It is this outcome that makes Un's rhetoric even more concerning. That they are willing to play with fire points to a regime that is worth removing from the planet. . .Got to deal with those nukes first though.
