L’il Kim definitely has the crazy factor dialed up to 11 and could potentially light off nukes. Ahmadinejad and Khamenei in Iran have a similarly crazy factor and also could light ‘em off - for religious and ideological aims.

Kim is more likely to use the threat to demand (and get - as we’ve repeatedly seen under D and R administrations) humanitarian aid, oil, and time to operate his nuclear infrastructure.

The Iranians are likely to use the weapons to eliminate ideological enemies of the Shia (that would be Sunnis, Israel, the West, etc.)
