From yonhapnews.co.kr

North Korea said Saturday that inter-Korean relations have entered into a state of war and all cross-border issues will be dealt with in a wartime manner, the latest in a near-daily series of strident threats against the South in recent weeks. "Situations on the Korean Peninsula, which are neither in peace nor at war, have come to an end," the North said in a special statement issued by the country's party, ministries and other institutions, according to the Korean Central News Agency.

Is there even any sound strategic reason - even if a low probability - for NK to attack first? I mean sure there's the element of surprise and all, but they're guaranteed to be decimated by the US. It's not like they could grab extra land, and it's not like they have any allies (China and Russia would not act if NK fires first shot).

Would there be anything for NK to gain by firing the first shot?

Posturing, he can convince his population that he defeated the west without firing a single shot. He makes idle threats, the US doesn't respond. He gets to look like he made the west back down. They get to hold up their dear leader while they starve.

Hope he realizes while he is going out making all these public shows, the US is probably tracking his location by satellite. We could probably tell him what he read while taking his morning dump. I wouldn't be surprised if there were not US war subs off his coast.

The USA has subs off every country's coast and with over 700 military bases is effectively at war (at the very least in a passive aggresive sense) versus every nation constantly. The usa wages war versus its own population on a daily basis, the outrageous incarceration statistics and back to the stone age sentences are proof of that.
