No matter how well aware the cabal controlling North Korea may be of the consequences using their nuclear arsenal, I worry that they may paint themselves into a corner.  That is, I fear that they may, by a combination of actions and statements, put themselves into a position where they may decide they no longer have a choice but to either use their arsenal or give up too much influence.  I have no confidence in their competence or restraint.

It's bad enough that 25 million North Koreans and hundreds of millions of people in neighbouring countries live under threat from this cabal.  I am unwilling to have myself and my family live under this threat also.
