North Koreans are not getting any information from the outside world. They think they will win if a war breaks out.

they are not that stupid.
I listened to the South Korean reporter talking about the situation and she mentioned the fact that Kim is only 29 years old and even called him a man child. Isn't that the same thing I have heard Obama called many times? :P

he maybe young but dont underestimate his military intelligence.
You have a point. I do not believe that young Mister Kim would be making this kind of racket unless he has a real surprise up his sleeve. The moves we have made so far cannot have surprised him or his military leaders. April 15, his grandfather's birthday, is coming up soon. If he has a surprise in store for us, I think that is the day he will spring it on us.
This makes me nervous for only two reasons. We check a mere 2% of the shipping containers coming into this country. The DPRK has recently admitted to having a program to enrich uranium. Uranium based bombs are far less detectable than weapons built around plutonium. Three feet of sand is sufficient to completely muffle the radioactive signature of a U235 based weapon. Such a monstrosity could be delivered in a shipping container to virtually any city in the United States. Our lax security may have already allowed this to happen. We made the mistake of focusing all out efforts on the airports and not the seaports.
If we survive this unscathed, and I must admit we could well do such a thing, we will still need to focus more of our efforts on those damnable shipping containers coming into the country by the millions each and every day.
