North Korea couldn't afford any long drawn out war. Yes I could agree that maybe their leader is crazy enough to "try" and attack South Korea but they couldn't hold out long financially.

Kim won dong is the same as the most other two bit dictators. A lot of blow hard talk with out a lot of action or ability to back it up. Simply put if NK couldn't push the US out of SK in the first week they would be done for. Half of North Korea is starving as they don't have any food or economy. The nukes are all a show because they don't have much more than foot solders.

You honestly think that no one besides the US would step up to the plate and help out?
with the way western economies are set up, that third world power would cripple ours just as much as we'd cripple theirs. and they're much better prepared!
