Date de diffusion: Mar 30, 2013

North Korea has a long history of empty threats but also a history of action. The new leader Kim Jong Un is only 30 years old, and there are doubts about his ability to lead both inside and outside the country. Kim Jong Un needs to demonstrate his authority by orchestrating an international crisis, with South Korea and the United States, to restart the negotiations and then finally walk away with new political benefits. This strategy has its limits and although they seem unpredictable - Pyongyang has been very careful not to step out of line. But what if North Korea became desperate and a war broke actually broke out?
