We live in an era where honestly letting Japan and Germany build complete militaries is the rational choice. Still Seoul
Japan and Germany are already top 10 militaries by spending.

Trying to make a show of force. I think they want to show that they can attack Japan if they go down. It's one case that they know they wouldn't last in a war but will want to make the most damage as possible.
they don't want war. this is deterrence to prevent, what they see as an inevitable US backed regime change invasion.Are they possibly delusional enough to think they could win all out war?
I have to imagine there are so many spies in NK they aren't even close to a threat.
you're talking about the country where the leader kills his uncle with AA guns for potentially being to close to china is invested with US spies (who completely were dead on about the iraq weapons program and successful in preventing NK from getting nukes back in 2006)I'd always assumed this as well. At least one person in the inner circle is probably feeding the US basically everything that's going to happen. If they ever decide to fire a real nuke at a real target, it won't leave the ground.

Real talk someone I know I going to South Korea over the summer and not gonna lie every time I hear about this shit I get worried for them.

Well it's either that or end up as sushi. I'd hate to be a fish in Japanese waters.
No. They could fuck up Seoul though. And will do enough chest-thumping to get concessions. And they shut up for a while until they need more and repeat.
They couldn't fuck up Seoul unless they spent weeks bombing it. I sincerely doubt North Korea has a functioning military. People seem to under the impression Seoul would be reduced to rubble in an instant and that's not the case in truth.

They probably know they wouldn't win, but they might think they can cause some pretty bad damage while they fall.

Seoul being hit by artillery is pretty bad but relatively recoverable.
Seoul being hit by millions of starving refugees flooding from a collapsed North is probably the long term crisis. That's probably the main reason why they haven't flatten them yet.
But then they will get 10x as fucked up, right? so why?
