Slave labour, the militarisation of their economy while millions starve to death, very restricted freedom and information, brainwashing, state worship... the list goes on.

Yeah... North Korea runs more like a cult then a country...

and now they have long ranged missles and nuclear weapons.

Cults can often find ways to not only not care about self perservation but want to cause as much havoc as possible before they go out.

 

They'll only go off the deep end if they sense that the end is imminent, potentially going into scorched-earth mode which could do a tremendous amount of damage to South Korea and likely a few hits on Japan as well.

That more or less means you agree with me though.

Even your average dictator wouldn't go into scorched earth mode with nukes if he thought the end was imminent.
