What do you guys think about all of the shit going on in North Korea?

It really is starting to sound like a bad soap opera, but with the small potential for World War.

It sounds like they're really starting to either move toward war, or bluff their asses off. Starting yesterday, when they revoked their agreement for peace with South Korea and vowed to nuke any aggressors, and moving to today when they claimed to have started readying their missiles for standby.

And all of this comes days after Ambassador of US Public Relations Dennis Rodman returns from the glorious country, talking highly of his experience and his new friends over there.

I wish Blonde were here to get his take given his South Korean experiences, but, since he was driven away, I guess your collective opinions will work.

So what do you think? Is this even on anyone's radar as something to give a fuck about? Or just more posturing bullshit to try to get attention to a dying nation?

An interesting infographic about their capabilities:

NK are very much insane. I'd encourage anyone with an interest in NK to check out A State of Mind. I'm sure it's on Netflix. 2004 film that shows you a glimpse inside this truly insane nation. Make no mistake about it: they hate America as fundamentally as, say, Americans hate Al-Qaeda. They have parades that include artistic depictions of them sinking American battleships, etc. It's a nation full of brainwashed juveniles that look up to their dear leader like a kid would to Mommy and Daddy. What astonishes me most of all is that they have no familiarity with the outside world. Due to government censorship, it's a nation full of people who don't even realize their relative cluelessness about the world outside of them (think: Truman Show).
