They've been sabre rattling for years, but it seems to me that they're honestly capable of using nuclear weapons now. So I guess the question is whether or not they will do it. Throughout history, the only Nation insane enough to use nuclear weapons was the US - and this was under really severe circumstances.

A lot of us (myself included) have friends and/or family in South Korea. If Pyongyang decides to obliterate it... well, this young man might finally join the army.
