What I do 'know' is that they are not readying their nuclear arsenal in an attempt to take over the world or 'strike first'. Kim is probably desperately afraid of being removed externally, and this is the best bet to prevent that.
I'm also of the opinion that, unless World War III broke out, Canadian soldiers would not be engaged in offensive operations against North Korea. We just don't seem to have the jam anymore to do these activities. A few fighter planes and frigates? Maybe... but boots on the ground? It would have to be a pretty strange scenario to see Canadian combat soldiers in N. Korea in the 21st century.
I don't think his post was that stupid.

I guess the best way to defend your regime is to break international law and get the UN in an uproar over what you're doing, right?
If the UN lauched a land war against NK, which I doubt will happen, I'm pretty sure Canada, under Harper would be involved.
