Hey guys what do you think of the North Korea's threats of war ? To be quite honest I am terrified right now  especial after the recent announcement that foreigners should evacuate the country as their safety isn't gauraranteed, I am a South African what do other South Africans and other foreigners think of all this, should we go and leave our jobs or its all just lame threats ?

Thanx,
Sandile

I am a New Zealander and have been in Korea over 2 years and have learned that nothing is gonna happen at all. Kim Jong Un knows very well that if he decides to launch attacks against South Korea and the USA, it will be the end for him and his country......period. Kim Jong Un and his cohorts currently take around 20% of the country's annual GDP for personal gain. That equates to a lot of money. The current UN restrictions recently put in place in reply to his nuclear test program have made it difficult for him to access money and also restricts imports of all the luxurious items he has come to enjoy. This is all about him getting the shits over this.

He's not going to give that up. As per usual most wars usually have something to do with money.

Furthermore by creating tension and threats the way he has, is probably going to end up peacefully through communication and the outcome will be that he'll be given further financial aid for his country (back pocket). When his father was alive, he would do something that would strike fear in the rest of the world and end up getting millions just to keep quiet. Kim Jong Il was quite smart as he did this a number of times and got paid handsomely by the international community to stop this happening. Personally I think Kim Jong Un is just continuing the same theme.

Rattle the swords and make some money.

Thanks for your response brother, it really instilled assurance in some of us......lol lets hope it ends peacefully, anywhere Kim is a fool who the hell does he think he is to take on big men in wars I mean there is Japan, Russia and China apart from USA nd S.Korea, his country is like fire in bucket.....one bucket of water it's all off!

As i am a korean , i will tell u guys my opinion. North korea wants south korea or any other countries to give them some rice. They are terrorists except for the normal ordinary north korean people. [Moderated]
No need to worry^^. They can't.
