Seriously?

I mean, is N. Korea for real? I'm not a huge one on foreign relations and international policy and all that broo ha ha, but they've gotta' be retarded. With our current regime in the White House just going around preemptively attacking nations that don't even have 'weapons of mass destruction', why would you claim that you do (and nuclear of all things) after already having seriously strained relationships with the US and the UN for that matter? Yeah, I know, there's opposition at home, we're stretched thin everywhere, but a lot of people wouldbe just fine attacking a country that is known to export weapons to other 'rogue' nations as well as displaying contempt for the ol US. Plus, you think the UN is just gonna' sit there and be like "Oh, man! That sure was a cool firecracker you guys set off!" Doubt it. Plus doesn't this violate the nuclear proliferation treaty?

I'm not one for going off an attacking them, but I'm just trying to understand it. If you wanna' develop it (and why, protection? just do a little diplomacy-you don't have to be a democracy, seriously), maybe blame the rumble on an earthquake...or are they bluffing? But why would you bluff? So you could get some sanctions, hurt your economy, maybe hop into a war...I don't know. Does anyone else think it's retarded on so many levels?
