#1 Talk tough now, DPRK. We'll see how tough you are when the food aid and oil stops flowing, your missile shipments are mysteriously sunken outside your ports, and the Japanese and our aircraft carriers start moving in your general direction. If Seoul wasn't 35 miles from the border, you'd already be toast.

#2 I think the only military that could take down Daffy without harming Seoul belongs to China. Most recent information I've got says they have approximately 550,000 troops deployed close to the NKor border. It's not that far from the Yalu to Pyongyang, especially with 70% of the NKor army "forward deployed" to the south and low on fuel.
