These steps of north korea might lead to a world war or overnight assassination of their supreme leader.
North korea is showing itself as a threat to human race.

I don't think North Korea is going to collapse any time soon. It's true that they are weak, which is why they can't afford to attack any country because there is no way they can win. They are just trying to show that they have some power.
yeah its just a show a pride surely the only country they can only attack is their own country south korea lol.Goodluck to them if ever they attempt to attack.
Since North Korea doesn't have any strong allies, if Korea made a step towards trying to take over the world, every other nation would step in and take them down. They have a big mouth, but no actions to go behind their threats.
In such scenario it happens, but I think just to show the world about their power, they might have used this way.

For there is a lot at stake for Beijing as well as for Seoul. The collapse of North Korea would be a humanitarian disaster for South Korea, as it would mean the integration of 25 million impoverished and starving people, who for their entire lives have been brainwashed to hate the South. It would also spell disaster for China in terms of security as it would mean the loss of its buffer against American soldiers in South Korea. China, too, would also have to count on having to deal with a great number of refugees.
South Korea one of the most developed nation regarding pretty all aspects of life and then in contrast their brothers and sisters in the north - starving and living in a 19th century society.
God really moves in misterious ways.
North Korea may have a new dictator, but its politics remain the same. The head of DW's Chinese department comments on why its rhetorically violent reaction to new sanctions should not be given too much weight.
The only thing that remains predictable about Pyongyang is that it is unpredictable. The provocative rocket launch in mid-December was followed by a surprising New Year's speech by the country's dictator. In it, he not only announced a radical change in Pyongyang's economic policy, but also in its relations with the United States.
Now, the words coming out of the isolated North are more threatening: Pyongyang is threatening to test more rockets and even atomic weapons; both would be "aimed at the US," according to state news agency KCNA. So it seems nothing has really changed about the country's policies under its new leader Kim Jong Un, who is continuing his father's tradition of provoking and threatening other powers, especially the US - a policy the country is surprisingly good at. And even now, as before, the government is playing its cards without the slightest regard for its own people.
The tough words Pyongyang used were in reaction to new sanctions agreed upon at the UN Security Council on January 23, even though the sanctions will not really hurt the pariah state. Especially, because the new measures are a lot less harsh than the ones originally suggested by the US. They are only really a slight intensification of existing sanctions which target a few individual companies and people directly involved with the country's missile program.
But what will hurt the North Koreans is the fact that this time Beijing has agreed to the sanctions, as it also did in the years 2006 and 2009 after North Korean rocket tests. The North's last remaining ally has turned its back and the country has never been more isolated than now.
A further way to the bomb
The threats against the US have been empty so far. The rocket launch last December was a success, but Pyongyang is still a long way from possessing the technology to build a functioning nuclear warhead. North Korea has carried out two nuclear tests so far using plutonium bombs. Both tests followed rocket tests. Now experts fear Pyongyang might possibly be in possession of a uranium bomb.
North Korea has invested a lot in its nuclear and rocket programs; the military is still the most powerful institution in the world's only remaining Stalinist hereditary monarchy. And it will not simply let these prestigious symbols of power be taken away. The isolated state does, after all, receive international recognition by posing a threat. In such cases, the world looks to China, North Korea's neighbor and long-time ally. But the image of the relationship between China and North Korea being as "as close as teeth and lips," as it was formulated decades ago, is long gone. Economically, Pyongyang is still completely dependent upon Beijing, nonetheless, China's influence on its neighbor remains limited.
Like an "unruly child"
Time and again, the North Korean leadership has snubbed the Chinese government. Thanks to Wikileaks, the word is out that a Chinese deputy foreign minister once told US diplomats that Pyongyang's actions were comparable to those of an "unruly child," as it simply wanted to provoke the attention of the adults. Through its bad manners, this unruly child has learned in the past how to force others to make political and economic concessions. For there is a lot at stake for Beijing as well as for Seoul. The collapse of North Korea would be a humanitarian disaster for South Korea, as it would mean the integration of 25 million impoverished and starving people, who for their entire lives have been brainwashed to hate the South. It would also spell disaster for China in terms of security as it would mean the loss of its buffer against American soldiers in South Korea.

This maybe depend on how are we going to interpret what this country can make but I am sure that our country's leaders will work something out if ever they will continue this war between them. Still the good will remain for this is more important..
Blah blah blah. do it or shut it or Let's announce to the world if we need to demonstration anti-missile or anti-nuclear.
believe me, you don't want to see it, let's hope that this never happens.
North Korea is the most unpredictable country at the moment there leader can be dangerous for this world. This can't be go good for an long time this way.
agree, from my point of view is one of the most unpredictable leaders atm, but not the only one and seems like he is "thinking" to much about those things, lets hope that nothing happens in the end
they are just scaring us, Do you think NoKor and ISIS were friends? They are scaring the world on the bad things they can do and they want to do.
They cant be friends. One is pure ideological communism and the other are pure ideological religious state.So those two forms of extremism cant cooperate as to foundations of both partys are in exact opposition.
Thats the theory but life some times writes strange scenarios.
Even though they don't have the same belief, but they have one common goal, they want to conquer this world and to scare out people, I think so. And they want to shout to the world that they are powerful.
then, voila, war???
that's bad news. I hope there is no more war. it's really a big trouble for the world.
The US had it coming. They take Asia for granted every single year for the great technology they created for them. They pay us pennies on the dollar for these nice things and it's not fair but it doesn't really constitute war. Still, I get it. There comes a point when you have to pay for the things you've done.
They are just showing their strength against china
I heard china has conquered korea in the past.
There's a mistake in sentence. North Korea doesn't need to show strenght against China because China already supports Northern Korea. They ma show their strenght to Southern Korea and China invaded Soutern Korea by ally with Northern Korea. I heard china has conquered korea in the past.
i dont understand anything about this video.. what does it want to teach us ? does north korea want to strike united states or scare the whole world ? this video is total bullshit..
Do you really not scared?
Kim Jong-un beast.

Actually this is the pattern they established a long time ago and this is about right for the cycle of them acting up globally to achieve their goals. The unpredictable aspect is very predictable and seems to come in 5 year cycles. They usually shift back to threatening South Korea in between.
