North Korea’s government has learned that whenever they want something all they have to do is start yelling that they are going to take their ball and go home. Look for some concession from the global powers in the near future, probably more food aid. It is our good luck that the globals can’t really afford to use N.K. for target practice at the moment. The Middle East is sucking up all the available tolerance for that sort of thing. But as this article says, Russia is using N.K.’s latest tantrum to beat a few drums. They probably have ordinance overstock approaching its expiration date and a new generation of surplus bullet-heads ready to dump from the welfare rolls.

So let’s say NK nukes SK. What then? We know that if Iran or Pakistan nuked Israel, more nukes would fly (lots more, I’d think). But what about the Korean scenario? We’d have to do something (lest we look like wusses, the ultimate shame for Americans), but we’d have to be careful not to piss off China. Speculation, anyone?
