But yah, N. Korea is just (shockingly I agree with Usd about this) wagging it's dick because Kim Jong-Il wants something.
No. It is not that they want something.
North Korea's leadership keeps stoking the flames of hatred because they know that detente would end in their own irrelevance and overthrow.
No, I'm going to have to disagree with you. Every time North Korea postures like this it's always been to get
something. Last time they rolled out their nuclear weapons program was because they wanted a seat on (I think this was the committee), the Asia-Pacific trade commission (or something along those lines). This happens, China/The US will put him where he wants to be, and he'll go back to his harem.
And South Korea wins, hands down. North Korean couldn't launch a nuke if they wanted to, and if they tried, they'd end up with the entire US military knocking on their front door. As I said, he's just posturing and putting on a show.
