Un canned a major general in the Norths army when he took power, he is actually sharing power right now. When he canned the general a schism formed among the ranks and tensions are high within the north. I think this is just saber rattling though so that he can try to either 1 get sanctions dropped or 2 go wow see I prevented a nuclear war!
A lot of propaganda going on. NK is a buffer state for China so Im sure that NK cant do much as a proxy without some type of approval from China. NK has crappy diesel subs with limited range and their missiles are crap. The US just moved a THAAD system into the pacific as well but like someone else mentioned I think the NK thing is being used to further move assets into the pacific so that with NATOs missile shield and our presences we have china and Russia literally surrounded.
