What is the matter with these people, are they trigger happy or something? You know if it were not for Iraq and Iran I am sure the US would think this is good grounds (sum behavior in recent times) for an attack.

This is not the first time and they do it strategically when talks stall or money/food is slow to getting the Supreme Leader. He is not crazy, but he is definitely clever like a fox. This guy has been playing the UN and the US for about 3 decades now and shows no signs of slowing down. I believe the last time he did this he shot one over northern Japan. Now that was an exciting time to be in Japan or S. Korea!

Everybody in that region must be really afraid of him, because any other country would have definitely reacted. Maybe he is the bully and he knows he is surrounded by wimps (no disrespect intended), because he would not shoot that missile over India, Pakistan, China or Russia, because he knows his balls will be taken out quickly.

I really don't think they are scared of him as much as they are leary of him. He is a man with nothing to lose. If he does something crazy and gets attacked and loses...what has he lost? N. Korea isn't really much. If Japan or S. Korea gets into it with him, then they will suffer huge setbacks in their economies. It is a no lose for this guy, because the others really don't want a war. Pakistan and India have no interest in N.Korea, but wouldn't hesitate to retaliate against stuff like this, but they really have nothing to lose either.

North Korea has no good resources? Maybe the people? I am actually surprised that such tyranny has not earned Kim Jong assassination either at the hands of his own people or those surrounding him. Maybe he is there for a reason. In this world of hidden politics one really cannot know the truth of these things.
