Ancient sages say, he who asserts statements to be crazed babble, must advance convincing evidence that they are crazed babble.

North Korea, on themselves, in an accident.

Of course they will then blame South Korea and invade.

If someone is going to nuke, they better nuke from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
