I personally think it’s a lot of hype. The U.S. does shit like this everyday and no one reports it. The DPRK has 2 goals as a nation: 1) if universal nuclear disarmament will not take place (the DPRK always votes yes to that proposal whenever it’s brought up in the U.N.) they wish to be recognized as a nuclear power and 2) the reunification of the Korean Peninsula. I don’t see a Scenario where North Korea would invade the south as the south’s new president has made several moves to strengthen ties between the two. Also China has said they will stay neutral if North Korea is the aggressor but will intervene if The U.S. and South Korea pull the trigger first. And quite honestly the United States won’t because it’s actually beginning to look we would lose that war. Based off of the way Syrian war went, the United States military is weakening greatly. Personally, I support the DPRK in their struggle to build socialism under some of the worlds toughest conditions and their fight against U.S. Imperialism.
