North Korea is just an awesome example of the tighter you squeeze, the less you have. Western nations and their allies impose sanctions, hold military drills, and pretty much threaten North Korea in every way. I'm not surprised they're pissed off, flexing their malnourished muscles. The free world squeezes, and the tyrants slip away into radicalism, like a wild, cornered animal. It won't solve anything, and it won't end well. With 'wild animals', like North Korea, you have to play nice and lure them into the fold. Domesticate them. Use the carrot, instead of the stick (bow chicka bow wow). At least, that's what I think
