Nukes and missles give him the Ace card so he can get involved in the big politics and have some say. Without the nukes or missles their country is nothing. I feel that they would never send them at the US, or anyone else, but I think they are just doing this to prove a point and take a stance.

We should have sold Korea a nuke 4 years ago when we knew they were trying to build one.
Or at least sent them the manual on how to build one.
Large profits can be made in the sale of weapons.
Plus it makes for a safer world.

Rosetta....
Thats exactly my point. Everything we hear is BS, so then why does everything that our country does go along with the same basis of what we have heard through the media? AKA we are attacking afghanistan because thats where Bin Laden is hiding, not because its part of the taliban which suposedly (from your post) played a major role in the 9/11 attacks. What you are saying is right but the way our country has been running lately is in direct corelation with the BS we hear on the news....im not going against you, i am just fed up with what is always going on lately

Well, I'm not going to elaborate any further on whats already been said about N. Korea. You guys basically nailed it on the head. However, I would like to make one point. Kim is truly nuts. And this is a little odd for "political positioning". When faced with ultimatums from world powers over missile tests, you never reply with "if we detect a preliminary strike from the US, we will launch a nuclear weapon". That seems a little, well, fuckin insane to play the nuke hand so early in the game.
And then theres the fact that his propaganda team have been prepping his citizens for a couple of years now. He has them convinced that they have been in a cold war with the US - what benefit does that have, except to have loyalty in case things go screwy?
I can handle world powers playing politics, but Kim is doing some weird shit that's making me a bit twitchy.
My 2 cents
