They make outlandish threats over and over, but in the end they won't do anything. Why? Because I believe China would abandon them. China isn't like Russia in some ideological war with the US, China wants to become the worlds #1 GDP and a superpower (if they aren't already). Going to war with the US and pretty much guaranteeing WW3 would kind of hinder that goal.
North Korea knows this. But they feel they have to threaten and look tough, so that their people think they are much more powerful than they really are.
