And, even then, what would happen? Say they dropped a nuke on South Korea somewhere. Probably not Seoul, though. It would be a race between China, the US and Russia as to who would squash them first. Now Kim Jong-il may be crazy but he is far from stupid. He certainly knows that would be in the cards.

Russia? Why in the world would Russia get involved.

And China? Besides becoming un-cooperative, I don't foresee any squashing. Besides, China would just let US get its hands dirty and heckle from the sideline (joining the Europeans and Russians there).

IMO, NK is testing how weak Obama is, probing if he the US guarantee of protective umbrella over SK can be weakened, or even proven worthless.

This would leave SK exposed, exposed to potential blackmail.
