Unfortunately (in this case), the Norks don’t have any potential for “power projection.”
I honestly wonder how the world community would react if one or more NK ships were dispatched to the area so this matter could, ahhhh, be resolved?
Bet'chu NK would meet no resistance, whatsoever.
OTOH you may be correct.
But think of it: thug wannabes meeting the ultimate thug. >Shazam!<
It'd be glorious, LR. LOL!!
