threatening the us and others with nukes is irrational.

that works when the us does it to some banana republic.
when the scrawniest kid in 4th grade keeps threatening a starting linebacker in the schools highschool football team, he is gonna get pummeled sooner or later.
what aid? they get aid from china anyway and threatening the west does exactly the opposite: they are looking at economic sanctions and nobody would invest in that hellhole of a country.
You (Zahlanzi) really need to learn something about the DPRK besides
what you get from your favourite propaganda demonizing the DPRK.
you mean i should be more enlightened, like you. it isn't possible that i might be right(along with the majority of the world's population) and you read one hippie hipster who is against the us government praising what a wonderful civilization the north koreans are?
no, on this matter there is no debate. the fact that the koreeans are starving even with chinese aid and that the glorious leader put pugsley as president would be enough to condemn the north koreean regime as one of the most oppressive in the world. yet that is not all by a longshot.

You don't need to be a linebacker to be organized crime. If that kid is crazy enough and carries deadly weapons those linebackers are in trouble.

but here is the funny part: in this analogy, pugsley and company are the scrawny kid, and they have nothing. well, besides a huge ill equiped army and a nuke that explodes if someone presses the remote.

Yeah the appropriate thing to do is to show that the linebackers have bigger guns. But the Korean Piggie Man is not being irrational. He's in no danger.
