[A Russian]

A most interesting reading. However, I cannot see the connection between the absurdity of North Korean ways and its threat to the world security. Will you elaborate?

Okay, I'm not an expert on this, but at the same time they're making nuclear weapons, they are so hungry that they are eating their own children:

Here's a 2003 Telegraph article about the cannibalism

There is something seriously wrong in North Korea.

The depraved morals of one man makes him a threat to surrounding people. He lacks compunction to stop his own restless desires and seeks to dominate the will of those around him. It's a criminal intelligence that drives his motives to satiate his ever-changing lusts and greed.

When a society falls victim to such a state, their entire populace "lives" (if you can call it living) to serve the whims of one untamed radical. Russians suffered under just such a fate because of two neurotic tyrants. One was external (Adolf Hitler), and the other internal (Stalin). Nations and ideologs were tragically under the spell of these wicked men and such characters were indeed a threat to the entire world. Though hardly the scale of Nazi German or Stalinist Soviet Union, modern weaponry makes the North Korean Regime a determined enemy of the global community. If the DPRK isn't pushing illegal weapons, they're smuggling drugs, or pimping some other petty crime for quick cash and strategic advantage.

OK:

They can only survive by blaming their failure on someone else. There is no upper limit to the amount of people they would kill to show they are right--

even if they are wrong....

You should be familiar with this idea if you are a Russian?
