I offer to discount what North Korea says today as nothing more than bellicose rhetoric. They gave South Korea firms an opportunity to leave the joint industrial site until April 10 th. From sources, they look at the language and meaning of the young NK leader as simply undisciplined testosterone until he proves us wrong. Frankly I wish the intell agencies would take another look say he is nuts and bomb the shit out of North Korea but no. He has been hired by Iran to do what he is doing. He is willling to keep pushing the envelope but this is logical as The US will not challenge him where it hurts such as military reprisals. The US has remained calm so far based on the intell that this is all for play for Iran. The US and Obama in particular will never let a crisis go without taking advantage of it. He is playing the North like a fiddle or the other way around. Neither position wishes to place Iran in the spot light.
Now reality may set in when one side or the other is found to have played the other better. We will find out if North Korea is bluffing, or will act and we will see if the US has any answers or has answered the gamemanship of North Korea and Iran or let them win. Finally what other groups or nations win by what is happening or lose? They will dictate the end result perhaps.
