What is North Korea planning?

The Hydrogen bomb or what appeared to be it, was experimented despite treaties.
Do folks not realize that if Chernobyl has rendered so many acres useless for humans, for several thousands years, same thing is likely to happen if another nuclear explosion is tried on land they propose to capture? I can't even imagine what happens in sea.
ISIS militants are not likely to have restraint. They can kill the entire world for the sake of their mistaken beliefs.
So was that explosion to tell ISIS come on, we have the technology, we are willing to share it with you for a price. A demonstration perhaps?
After all, North Korea faces no threat, unlike India.
So why if not for monetary gains? Are we then staring at more hijacking, money laundering, and drug trafficking to earn monies to pay for the high price that North Korea possibly seeks from ISIS?
And should we be destroying the market for nuclear bombs?

He's a silly little tyrant showing off to his people. He has no interest in ISIS, I'm sure. They have no common ground. As for North Korea not being under threat, they are squeezed between China and South Korea (with whom they had a war for many years) and Russia. I think I might want a bomb with neighbours like that.

This nasty little tubby man with the very bad haircut is a menace to the world. He is vile and cruel to his own people. He is just rafting up rhetoric to annoy the Americans hoping they will do something to give him the excuse so he can nuke the South. His poor people are suffering beyond belief. I do not think he would go near ISIS but it would be nice he locked them away in their gulags.

Unless the major powers work in unison many small fries will get away with murder. But we are bent upon playing with fire. North Korea knows they can get away with anything as some countries are a law unto themselves or allowed to by others - siva

@vandana7 There is no greater hypocrisy than in relations among the countries. How can we justify only few having nuclear weapons and they say they are more responsible - but only in their eyes! The way froward is disarmament but each major power has own agenda or at least their political leaders do - siva

You're somewhat right that North Korea faces no threat because they are the threat. As of now, they are a silent threat waiting for the right moment to make a loud noise.
