North Korea Threatens ‘New Form’ Of Nuclear Test -- Time

North Korea promised Sunday to carry out a “new form” of nuclear test after a recent round of ballistic testing, heightening tensions on the divided Korean peninsula.

The North’s Foreign Ministry didn’t specify what it meant by a “new form” of nuclear testing. However, Western allies have long believed the isolated state is trying to make small nuclear weapons that can be carried by intercontinental ballistic missiles, the New York Times reports.

These people are and have been lunatics and are sending a message. But they are always sending messages. What is the message and to whom are they sending it, the US, China, South Korea, or all of the above? Is it a gigantic sales commercial for their hardware intended for Iran, Venezuela, etal? If these people cannot be dealt with in the sense of "normal diplomatic" ways and means(which I believe) then how?
