Well, as long as The Great/Dear Leader lives and remains in North Korea he really can't lose much of anything.

Actually, you can, kind of...
At least on a piece of paper and with some risk.
Let's say the North Koreans got five nukes that can reach the US, OK? They say that if the US tries anything on them, they'd shoot them off. Given how unstable that Kim character is, it might even be convincing, if they can convince the US analysts those weapons work.
Let's say the US tries anyway. They fire one at the US. It hits someplace like Seattle. They give the warning again. It is at least conceivable that the US public will be scared enough to want peace. In any case, the appropriate response politically will not be to unload an entire SSBN's warload or more in retaliation.
So they might just get away with nuking Seattle. In theory anyway.

Re: DPRK boasts: "Will win nuclear war."
The DPRK is saber-rattling - nothing more, and nothing they've not done for the past 50 years. The only change is that they have nukes now, but saber-rattling is all they will do. N. Korea has nothing to gain by attacking anyone, however, they have much to gain by saber-rattling, scaring their neighbors, and blackmailing more aid from South Korea and western nations.The Duchess of Zeon wrote:http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/asiapcf/e ... index.html
