Talk to China first. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that China's support for their nominal ideological bretheren doesn't extend as far as the potential poo-storm this could create.
Perhaps the 1.3 billion neighbors can convince Nk this is a bad course.

Not to be a party pooper 
but this is really SOP for NK.
In the past, they've deliberately antagonized SK and even the USA. There have been SK, and US servicemen deliberate shot by them, there was a SK airliner shot down - they do this as a means of brutal "diplomacy" .When the West, Japan, and South Korea protest, North Korea goes hardline and they are then pretty much placated and appeased (check your history). This time, with their insistence on keeping their nuclear program going, I think they did this to literally to test the reaction now.
I could be wrong of course.. but, I do strongly believe that this is just bidness as usual.

Hope to god that they dont..... they have enough artillery within range of Seoul, that they can nearly obliterate it within a couple of hours and with no advance warning. Who needs nukes when you can do that? ugh
We should just take out NK and then say, anyone who gets upset about it or threatens us will get taken out by everyone who wanted NK gone. Just use the same diplomacy against them, just on a little more extreme level. Peace through war.
That's my opinion, not political.

That's exactly how WW1 started....
What confuses me with this is the whole "save face" uber pride mantra that Koreans (and much of Asia from what I can tell) subscribe to. How do they not lose face with their baseless threats and no follow through?
Yup, that and the fact that they probably have atleast three medium range missiles that can be fitted with warheads. And all of them can reach Japans biggest cities.. Add the total war statements to the mix and it doesn't look too good.
The ball is really in Chinas end though, which I hope isn't too much said here.
