12. Timing is everything...

first of all, I don't think Un is in charge. Secondly, note the time of the year. After winter. They need grain and this winter was apparently pretty harsh up there. They have people starving. So rather than be an adult like nation, they use their usual rhetoric to "blackmail" the world (aka U.S.) into "coughing" up some grain. (which we give to them anyway).

lastly, with the show of force, it's just another way for NK to show their brainwashed population just how "important" they are in the world.

After a bit of their crazy-ness, they will stand down and make some sort of announcement to the people of NK along the lines of, "the might of the NK army has frighted the world and they have backed down, due to our glorious god leader ability to stare them down!" blah blah blah.

The song remains the same.
