If they were truly serious about attacking the US and South Korea, they wouldn't damn well tell the world about it. They'd simply attack at 2am local time in the hopes of catching everyone off guard.

Announcing to the world that you're going to "combat duty posture No. 1" kinda ruins the element of surprise.
