Will There Be War?

Talks have collapsed between Japan's neighbours North and South Korea. We just have to hope this will not result in war. The dictatorship North Korea is a much poorer country than democratic South Korea, but invests much in its military. Still, the North Koreans starve and are dependent on foreign aid. It might be that the North Korean regime sees war as a last resort to gain further advantages, if they believe they could win. I guess all they want is some kind of casus belli that would not cause people in general to blame the war on them. Hopefully, they will never get such a chance.
