The North Korean economy depends on foreign aid, and a reliable and long-tested way for them to get it is to make threaten gestures so the US & South Korea will pay them off. If they actually provoked a war, they not only wouldn't get the $$$ but would also lose the war and be annexed by South Korea. I'm sure Kim Jong Il knows that.

Either the evidence of sanity even granting the rest of your premise, or the rest of the premise "backing down is an eminently rational choice to make." It may create a Nash equilibrium, but it's not necessarily the most rational choice to back down; in that scenario, the evidence suggests the only rational choice is irrational unpredictability. No really, there's math for it and everything; blew my mind too.

Irrational unpredictability is still an option.

Didn't the History Channel have a program about where the Japanese used the first one in China?   Just asking

That would be a possibility for the US edit, except for the little matter that it would imply the Japanese did fission before the US. And as we know, the US invented everything, so no-one would believe that. Unless there was a subplot involving soviet spies and wikileaks.

I wouldnt call backing the south "Baiting"  If America doesnt make a stand North Korea will push harder than before.

There is a long history of playing off the superpowers against each other, and with Chinas new economis ties with America, that ploy has come to an end. Sooner or later the regime will implode on itself, since there is no way it can get by without Chinese or US aid.

You are the type that would pull a knife on someone and whine when they shot you.

If it wasnt for the US that you seem to hate so much, your capital would be in Berlin.

Seriously, do they teach you guys this crap in schools. Last week I had Wilbur spouting on about how D-Day would still have happened without British help. What a crock that was.

If it wasnt for the French, you would still be speaking English.

You have to be kidding. Did he advance any theories on where we would have launched the invasion from?

I live in TN. The 2 most lopsided defeats that British troops have ever experienced in the last 1000 years were Kings Mountain and New Orleans.
Both were when they messed with Tennesseeans.

The rest of the US night still be saying God Save the Queen but ....................
