#4 Me too. North Korea is owned by China, the Chinese government is testing Obama's threshold of response. At what point will Obama do something....

#5 SPOD may be on to something. I would not put it past the Chicoms to do some DoS attacks and let the Norks take the blame. DoS is a cruder attack than hacking and raising hell inside the server. Death by a thousand cuts, and all that.

Meanwhile, the Big O is trolling for image with meaningless agreements with Pooty-Poot.

#6 Because people in North Korea do stuff on their own all the time without telling the government

On their own computers. Which are connected to the power grid. Which is run by Morgan Fairchild. Yeah, that's the ticket!
