The communist North's military said it will respond with "immediate, strong military measures" if the South stops and searches any North Korean ships under the Proliferation Security Initiative.

I have
So I have first hand impression about NK
Taking action against NK is not a clever idea,
directly threatening the safety of Kim himself will be more effective.

they are an empty threat.
why kill your enemy when it will result in killing yourself?

I have been living in Japan for almost 12 years now. This really is a worry to me.The US is a toothless dog and has done, and will do nothing but chuck angry words about the room. We all know what this is about. If we go up against North Korea...we go up against China. Many people have predicted a US / China war. But neither country wants that (not at the moment anyway). So North Korea will continue to do as it wants, when it wants.
If the US and China can find some kind of common ground that effects both countries then, and only then, will strong action be taken.
