On Thursday, South Korean Defense Minister Kim Kwan-jin said that North Korea was making final preparations to conduct its fourth nuclear test. Kim, however, said it could be a bluff and did not elaborate on what the final step of the North's preparations would be. Seoul has warned that Pyongyang would face serious consequences if it conducts a nuclear test.

A fourth test would mark another defiant response to US-led international pressure on North Korea to abandon its nuclear weapons program. The North conducted nuclear tests in 2006, 2009 and 2013.

Recent months have seen animosities flare up on the Korean Peninsula, with Pyongyang conducting a barrage of rocket and missile tests and resuming fierce rhetoric against Seoul and Washington.

North Korea’s militaristic behavior would not be possible without China’s support. If the US ever experiences an EMP attack it will come from North Korea or Iran.

If Kim Jong-un was at all thoughtful, he would space out these threats and childish announcements so that they could be useful reminders to the rest of the world.

Like, every six months, you'd see "Die, Running Dog Capitalists", and you'd say to yourself, Time to change the smoke alarm batteries.

Or you'd see "We're going to nuke the South back to the Stone Age", and you'd think Time to get my antifreeze checked.

"Glorious Leader Kim Jong-un scored a perfect 300 one day after inventing the game of bowling, curing cancer, and sending a group of North Koreans to Pluto on a paper airplane he threw himself" = Time to clean the gutters on the house.

Its the least the inbred little weasel could do.
