Stories like this do keep the perpetually scared people's fear levels at 11 however and away from facts like they haven't even tested anything radioactive.
I too feel that he intends these statements to be propaganda to be disseminatinated to his own people via radio. It seems so obvious now.

He might be dumb on some counts if you so believe, but he sure as heck isn't dumb when it comes to playing the tyrannical godlike leader. Point me to another country that has this dictatorship thing down like they have today.
To keep his scheme and lavish western product laced lifestyle going he needs his civilian slaveforce to be plenty. After all, who else is going to make and operate all those toys he so loves.
As long as the North Koreans love him and follow his orders I don't see him having any need to attack any country, he lives very very, very well.
The situation will only get dangerous when either another country attacks him, or his own people start rising up against him and he sees the end of his own reign coming. Then he'll start acting like the madman the media is portraying him to be. (Not that he isn't mad in other ways)
Don't take that thought to imply that I would not want them to rise up either. Safe from him dying of old age or lack of exercise that might be the only way. Only if they do, someone better dispose of him and his inner circle without delay and preferably without big balls of fire.
So long story short, I think it's directed at his own people and partly to any other one that stoops down to his level so he can make it look legitimate to the North Koreans.
But that's the whole point of a false flag threat...to create a reason why one has to take action. The reason need not be factual.

You don't think the extremely rare occasion of the UN Security Council agreeing on the threat posed by NK and sanctions to stop it is an indicator of what's happening? Why would that happen if there were no threat? Why would China and Russia agree?

So China, Russia and all the others are in on it? This theoretical false flag?
That is really stretching the credulity of the current everything is a false flag meme. At some point critical thinking has to enter the equation and hatred of all things US set to the side in favor of common sense.

I think there is no doubt much of it is propaganda for his subjects which has been mentioned by many of us over the years. Keeping the hate going I think is critical to him holding power over them. That and cutting them off from the outside world as much as is possible.

Well in North Korea's case I don't think Kim Jong Un is trying to whip his people up in a frenzy ready to attack us...but rather to assure them that he is the only thing protecting them from the scary U.S. and to squelch any desires to defect to the west.

That's works the same anywhere, our media keeps the low information mob frothing at the mouth wanting to attack attack attack.

Read up on Werhner Von Braun's 5 false flag threats...communism, terrorism, rogue nations(there you go), asteroids and then the extraterrestrial threat.

Didn't we already do asteroids? (Few years ago)
That means they've gone backwards?

Why do we have to appease anything? Who the hell are we to tell them anything about the way they run their country? Why do we have the right to have nukes but we won't allow them to have them? How is this reasonable other than might makes right?
