North Korea promised a "preemptive nuclear strike" prior to a UN vote on new sanctions. Despite the threat, the sanctions were unanimously approved. North Korea has responded by killing a Red Cross hotline with Seoul and claims that it has canceled the 1953 Armistice although the UN notes this cannot be done unilaterally (North Korea attempted the same thing in 2003 and 2009).

Beijing has reportedly refused to confiscate these funds despite voting for the very UN resolutions sanctioning North Korea

If Kim Jong Un would ever be stupid enough to actually do something, the rest of the world would not hesitate for long and liberate his people with a simple invasion. North Korea may have lots of military equipment, but the question how much his soldiers want to die for their country.
