N Korea vs S Korea.......is there anything in it.

[cryingfreeman]

NK itself has been the most threatened-by-nuclear-annihilation nation on earth, thanks to decades of unambiguous warnings from the USA.

Received wisdom is that NK hopes to have a device and delivery mechanism capable of delivering an EMP strike over the continental USA. Its present nuclear arsenal - and indeed, its capacity to manufacture new devices - is minuscule, so in a major war with the West / Japan / S Korea it really has to coat-tail China or else find a way to maximise damage with its minimalistic arsenal.
