"North Korea has said it is closely monitoring moves by the United States and fully prepared to counter any 'provocations' ... Pyongyang will never be intimidated ... 'Such intimidation and blackmail can never frighten the DPRK' ... 'The invincible revolutionary Paektusan army, closely following the maneuvers of the U.S., is waiting for an order only after rounding off its full preparedness to counter them immediately' ... stressing its 'access to a powerful nuclear deterrent to protect itself from the U.S. nuclear threat' ... vowed to take 'Korean-style tough counteractions' to cope with any U.S. provocations ... North Korea 'neither fears a war nor wants to avoid it,' the ministry said ... '"The U.S. is actually a rogue state that has unilaterally broken a bilateral accord of 1994 and a multilateral agreement of 2005' ... 'The Trump administration has blamed the North for the failure of bilateral dialogue to justify its sanctions and military confrontations'"

I continue to suspect that DPRK is confident that if it's attacked, PRC/RF will provide meaningful assistance.
