If its true does that mean theyll blame the south and attack?

Apparently so- they used a dozen tainted "mint" flavored filled donuts... So sorry. Someone had to say it. On a completely unrelated note- a North Korean utility truck overheated and failed due to lack of coolant. Nothing to see here.

True enough, but are you considering it from all angles? What makes a good strategy for one country may be a terrible strategy for a different country that considers the first to be an enemy or rival. Destabilization can be a great tool of war.
