Insanity at playWhat's the context?

In the insanity game, NoKo beats the Pakis hands down.Insanity at play
US officials have played down the threat of war on the Korean peninsula, after weeks of bellicose statements from Pyongyang.
A White House spokesman said the US "would not be surprised" if North Korea launched a missile, while a top US military officer said recent threats appeared to fit a familiar pattern.
Pyongyang has threatened to attack both US and South Korean targets.
It has told foreign embassies it cannot guarantee their safety in a conflict.
Diplomats in Pyongyang were asked on Friday to tell the foreign ministry by 10 April what help they would need in evacuating.
The warning prompted Russia to ask whether Pyongyang was offering help in the event of a conflict, or making a decision.
Not me. When the people starve, they are completely helpless.The present NK posturing is more a sign of domestic problems for the Chubby. Therefore there is reason to believe that In the event of a major war becoming imminent, dissident elements in the North Korean Army will dethrone Chubby and sue for peace. Any takers?
Mad dogs do not fear anything... even they know the sensible will avoid them.India must learn a thing or two from North Korea's courage. Without any proven deterrence and a proven long range missile they are threatening USA, but India on the other hand, even after having a proven credible deterrence, still is afraid of a nuclear attack by pakistan, if a war breaks out. After all the terror attacks on India, which have their roots from inside pakistan, India is still mulling over the issue of attacking the terror camps on the side of PoK.
There is nothing to learn from NK. NK leaders are like suicide bombers who first announce that they are suicide bombers. Their enemies can kill them whenever they wish. US can easily defeat NK. But if they do so then China will ask them to remove troops from SK. US don't want to end the problem because they want their troops to stay in SK for prolonged time.India must learn a thing or two from North Korea's courage.

BBC News - North Korea tension prompts US missile test delayThe US has delayed an intercontinental ballistic missile test scheduled for next week, defence officials say.
The Minuteman 3 test was put off over concerns it could be misinterpreted by North Korea, amid fears of a conflict.
It could be postponed till May, in what correspondents say will be portrayed by Pyongyang as a victory.
North Korea has issued a series of unusually strong threats since it was sanctioned by the UN in March for carrying out a third nuclear test.
It has threatened nuclear strikes on the US, formally declared war on the South, and pledged to reopen a nuclear reactor in defiance of UN Security Council resolutions.
A Pentagon official said the US wanted to "avoid any misperception or miscalculation" that might result from the test.
US and South Korean officials have sought to play down fears of a conflict on the Korean peninsula in recent days.
The BBC's John Sudworth in Seoul says Pyongyang will likely use the delay to its advantage in propaganda, and say the US has been forced to climb down in the face of resilience from the North Korean army.
The North Korean media are full of images of military preparedness, he adds, intended to rally people behind the leadership.
On Friday, North Korea warned it would not be able to guarantee the safety of embassy staff in the event of a war, but no foreign governments have announced plans to evacuate their embassies.
Guam threat
North Korea has been angered by the current US-South Korean drills
Many of North Korea's angry statements have cited annual military exercises between US and South Korean forces as provocation.
The US flew nuclear-capable B2 and B52 bombers over the South as part of the drill, and has since deployed warships with missile defence systems to the region.
This week, the North reportedly moved at least one missile to its east coast. It has threatened to strike the Pacific island of Guam, where the US has a military base.
North Korea's missiles have the capability to carry nuclear warheads, but the country is not yet thought to have developed such warheads.
Many observers say that North Korea's belligerent rhetoric appears intended for a domestic audience and at shoring up the position of Kim Jong-un, who came to power after his father's death in December 2011.
However, they also say that knowledge of the North's political calculations risk is limited, and the risk of a major escalation has increased amid the heightened tension of recent weeks.
Our correspondent adds that Pyongyang sees itself as vulnerable, having seen the upheaval in countries like Syria and Iraq, and is using the threat of nuclear weapons to protect itself.
Until next year at this time.Is this the straw that Chubby will clutch at to declare a great victory at a grand parade?
Guys, the matter of point is the guts to threaten a SUPER POWER. We India, even after having the power to protect our national interest are not doing so. We are not even taking a hard stance against pakistan. This is point. Understand my motive behind the post. I want the GoI to take a very hard stance and send a strong message that anther terror attack inside India will be retaliated with a strike on all the terror camps in PoK.......There is nothing to learn from NK.

It is simple. NK has to constantly appear belligerent to exist as a nation because that is the very foundation of the state. What other rationale does it have to exist as a different nation? The moment the leadership slackens, the state will disintegrate.Guys, the matter of point is the guts to threaten a SUPER POWER.
