No Don, that is not the case with this 3rd world country. NK usually postures every year when they go through another famine and can't feed their people. In the past they threatened and whichever president was in office at the time would make a deal with them. They were to cease working on a nuclear power plant that produced weaponized fuel and we would send them so many cargo ships of rice. Then the dictator in charge would agree and we would send the ships. This cycle went on for many years. They are always sending sappers via mini-subs to infiltrate South Korea and that has not ceased. When the old man died, junior with his giant ego thinks he can do one better than his old man. Unfortunately, he is neglecting to feed his people and they are dying by the thousands. Not that I care, because if they really wanted change, they would put a cap in his @ss and be done with it. Winters in NK are the worse. They fish for sea urchins and that is what they have to live on. Ever had sea urchin? Nasty little creature that appears like a ball with spiny porcupine needles. Very painful if you happen to step on one and very nasty tasting, in my opinion.

The only reason we have not taken out NK is two reasons. South Korea does not want to merge with them and have the added burden of supporting their millions. And second, because China is the big brother that will not allow us to attack the little cretin.
