They tried to take it BACK. South Korea is NOT Korea. In fact, it has nothing to do with Korea.

Kim is a megalomaniac who has been brainwashed since birth by his late father, that he is a god.....he is convinced of his own divinity. he pays his generals top dollar, and treats them like royalty
The People's Liberation Army has sent troops to China's border with North Korea as escalating tensions on the Korean peninsula have pushed North and South to the brink of possible war.
The Hong Kong-based Oriental Daily reported Saturday that internet users have been uploading photos of what appear to be PLA armored vehicles and tanks passing through the streets of Yanji, the seat of the Yanbian Korean autonomous prefecture in eastern Jilin province. The city, considered a key transport and trade hub between China and the DPRK, is less than 30 kilometers from the 1,400-kilometer border.

He is more like a badly written Bond-villain than a dictator. Sure, he treats his Generals like royalty... right up until he has them executed for an imagined slight.
Their massive standing army is a serious threat to South Korea, but that's about it. All those submarines that RT reported leaving port? They are a bigger threat to their crews than anyone else.
It's even possible China might be mobilizing incase of a mass refugee exodus or even to protect fleeing refugees from retaliation by NK's army.

More buildup by NK is being reported by Yonhap news. They're reporting NK has deployed amphibious landing craft to the DMZ with special forces on board.

I think N. Korea is using the talks to put military units in place. I do not see either side backing down and S.K. stated again they wont stop the broadcasts.
Maybe an intentional show of force while hoping it might pressure S. Korea to back down?

That seems to make sense, BUT wouldn't SK be on to that trick by now? These "talks" seem ridiculous and weird at this point, they're at like 15 hours now for this round...

He probably worries more he will be assassinated and maybe hesitated to give his troops weapons, kind of like our own president Obama. (Sorry but they really are a lot alike).
