N.Korea's threat of war...

North Korea's daily threats of war are part of its 3 step psychological tactics to pressure. South Korea and the US to change their policy on Pyongyang and unite its own people.
The first step is a threat of full-scale war.
The second step is deporting all foreigners in North Korea.
The final step is to launch a terror attack on public facilities.
North Korea has consistently and blatantly issued a series of bellicose warnings of provocatios, which are seen as an attempt to put psychological pressure on South Korea and the US. On the other hand there are increasing concerns that the North's mounting threats are a signal that is could soon lash out at South korea. Therefore, the US and South Korea must be prepared for a full-fledged war.

North Korea is probably the last remaining hole where military dictatorships continue to oppress entire populations en masse.
North Korea lives an isolated existence under severe scarcity of food and clothing, at sub-zero temperatures.
The "owners" of this madhouse are a band of ruthless butchers who have imposed the most unhuman existense on a starving population.

Turning the page of the same book, North Korea is a world-class, extremely dangerous nuclear-armed military power, courtesy of the extint dinasours of the former Soviet Union.
