#2The only comfort in their maniacal prison system state is that they make funny propaganda videos (the one with "we are the world" should totally get an SNL cover). Other than that it's a complete human tragedy. Let's hope for a Korean spring soon..

#3Wow. More juvenile posturing, or the beginning of the end for North Korea? Depends on whether anyone takes them seriously. And with a growing nuclear capability, they can't be taken not-seriously. This is suicide for them.

If someone cared, NK would be right.

The unfortunate reality is that a "threat" of war, or even a war itself, is what it might take for real changes to take place in the country.
That sucks for the people in the short run, but might change the game for their future.

I agree. What I don't understand is why they are doing this. They have nothing to gain, and everything to lose.

#8I've been wondering all day how this will end, and especially if anything will happen on/before the 11th of March when North Korea will apparently cancel cease-fire if the South don't stop doing drills.

Threatening a nuclear strike is pretty serious stuff - I hope the North Koreans are sensible enough not to fuel up any rockets in the near future...
I also wonder if there is a back channel somewhere where they tell the Chinese, who would then presumably tell the US, that they really are just posturing and there is no real threat.

That makes more sense. The game of politics is many-layered, and we're just seeing the top layer.
