And I don't know why many people are panicking about North Korea's antics right at the moment. Very juvenile for them.

The aim is to continue to prop up the regime and let the Kims rule for eternity. So I think it's unlikely that this will end up drawing blood.
There is one thing that I think North Korea contributed the biggest to the world. It is their pseudo-fascist-like ideology (totally deviated from Marxist-Leninist-Stalinism) that actually worked quite so well in North Korea.

Yeah, very scary. There are a small number of old Japanese people today who take fond of the Juche ideology and it is interesting to see this.
