North Korea is known to have performed 2 underground tests of a fission device, the first on 10/9/06 (not fully successful) and the second on 5/25/09 (believed successful).Two days later, they unilaterally withdrew from the 1953 Cease-Fire agreement between them and South Korea (tantamount to a declaration of war) is also extremely troubling. They already posses the ballistic missile capability; possessing the warhead to go with it would fundamentally shift the balance of power in the Asiatic region.

Unlike more responsible nations, North Korea wouldn't hesitate to use nukes if it served their interest. However, in doing so they'd likely lose everything - such a irresponsible act would not go unpunished lightly.
