Well what do have to go on so far? Nobody starts throwing grenades just for grins.

Maybe something to do with a G20 meeting in Seoul? Who has the least to gain from that meeting?

Again me thinks it's China via it's little helper making it known to other Asian nations the U.S. is no longer the strong protector it once was. Making China the regional power in the neighborhood and not the U.S. Especially when I consider how strained the U.S. is, what better time to make a power play?

What about NK military personnel provoking a war to end North Korean leadership?

Just thinking...

Well, the tensions involving the North Korean military ranks vs. the political leadership are inevitably involved in this. Some of the speculation says that this could be Little Kim flexing his muscle to show to the hardline military brass that he will not take a soft line with the South. This could well be a show for their benefit - I think it's no secret that the military is quite hard-line and the rare political/dynastic succession needs to be almost inevitably accompanied by a proof-of-toughness by the successor in the eyes of the military.

I forgot to add that one, but yes you're correct and most likely one of the reasons.
