You can take this exact story and dust it off every two years or so. When I was stationed in Korea back in 1993 we held war games with the South Koreans. The North Koreans threatened to cross the border if we held these exercises, moved their troops up, and then did nothing. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Unless of course they attacked South Korea or Japan. Whoa that would be a very bad idea.

This is more of the same foaming at the mouth.
