I think North Korea severely over-estimates itself. It's highly scrutinized, people would notice N.K setting things up to start moving and they would react. Not to mention Kim Jong-un does NOT have many fans...at all...in S. Korea. I doubt even if it was just between the two that N. Korea would be able to stay ahead of the game for long.

I have to agree. If N Korea decides to end the cease fire, they will simply be destroyed.

That is just simply untrue and to believe that is a dangerous underestimate of North Korea.

Not to sure you are aware of what is taking place in the world by the false criticism you made but North Korea is a threat. When North Korea tested a missile that fell harmlessly into the sea this month(2017), it was more than just an attempt by its 33-year-old leader, Kim Jong-un, to jolt a new American president. Arms experts observed something new: solid-fuel technology that makes such missiles easier to hide and launch quickly. North Korea’s nuclear weapons program has progressed in four areas that bear watching: arsenal size, bomb strength, missile technology and ability to elude detection.

Arsenal size: small, but thought to be growing

Knowledge of the weapons stockpile is based on estimates. Experts say that North Korea has fewer than 10 nuclear weapons. Satellite imagery of North Korea’s nuclear complex in Yongbyon, combined with official North Korean propaganda photos and recent nuclear tests, suggests that the country could rapidly expand its arsenal. By one estimate, the country now has enough plutonium and highly enriched uranium to build 20 to 25 nuclear weapons.

Explosive power: from one kiloton to 10 kilotons in 10 years

The explosive force of North Korea’s first nuclear device, tested in October 2006, was less than a kiloton, which is 1,000 tons of TNT. Its second test, in 2009, had more than double that force.

By January 2016, the country claimed to have exploded a hydrogen bomb in a fourth test, but outside monitors expressed skepticism. Seismic readings suggested an explosive force of four to six kilotons.

Seismic readings of North Korea’s fifth test, in September 2016, however, registered a force of approximately 10 kilotons, according to South Korea’s Defense Ministry.

To believe North Korea would not be able to stay ahead of the game long is some falsehood that you have bought into.

That's why I said I don't think they could stay ahead of the game for long. While I do see them as being a threat, they would not be able to sustain themselves from an extended war. Neither with America or probably their neighbors unless of course they received help from China. That's a possibility. But alone they are already under a magnifying glass, they would need to prepare and set forth their plan almost instantaneously and the rest of the world is watching.

There will be a war, in that case.

But North Korea isn't one of the strongest countries. And though China is their sole ally, I doubt it likes them either.

No country likes North Korea. It'd be lunacy to wage war against anyone.

Because everyone will use it as an excuse to attack them?

Perhaps.

No one wants to be the one to first attack them. Especially as they have nuclear weapons.

But nobody likes them either.

I don't think everyone would just attack them. But if they refuse to listen, then such a situation might arise. Some of the countries may plan to attack them.
