"North Korea is doing their level best to provoke an incident but we're not biting"

It seems that way to me too, but you have to wonder why. What does NK stand to gain? Seems to me they have everything to lose.

There is the possibility that Kim is totally out of touch with reality, and believes his own rhetoric.

Or, they could be trying to get us to buy them off. 'Give us food and fuel, and we won't start a war.'

Perhaps it is even advertising: 'Attention terrorist shoppers. We have missles and nukes, and everything has a price. We need food and fuel. Who will start the bidding?'

Who can read their minds?
