There have been no reports of evacuations at the capital, Pyongyang, or of a marked increase in air raid and evacuation drills that would be expected in a build up to war, Hardy said. And North Korean transport routes, train stations and road traffic have all been normal, showing none of the "cookie trail of logistics" that would point to war, Hardy said.
"No one's seen it. No one's mentioned it, so nobody's reported it," he said. "That's because there's not going to be a war. It would be suicidal, so it doesn't make sense for North Korea to start a war."
David Straub, associate director of Korean Studies at Stanford University, points out that many of the North's 1.2 million regular army troops are deployed not at the border but in farms to assist in spring planting, a regular occurrence this time of year.
