The simple answer to this is that N. Korean leaderships power over its people lies largely in the idea that they are still at war with the US and with S Korea, still under attack and so on. You can't rally the people behind a dicey government without a cause. If the cause is greater than the daily problems (i.e. "you need us to protect you from an imminent threat"), then people forget about the daily problems and the government retains its power over them.
They've been doing and saying the exact same shit for decades. It's nothing new. History has proven that when they pound their chest and start acting out, the result is surrounding nations capitulate and offer more food, fuel, medicine and economic aid.
