SUMMARY:

今年3月以来，朝鲜官方和媒体一直发表强硬声明，把朝鲜半岛的紧张气氛不断推高。近日，朝鲜官方又发出威胁称：朝鲜只要按下一个按钮就可发射导弹，战争只是时间问题。但也有人将朝鲜的超强硬措施称为“高度心理战”“宣传战”，不过是自欺欺人罢了。那么，朝鲜究竟会不会发动武力战争？你怎么看？

CONTENT:

With its chubby dictator, campy propaganda videos and near-daily threats of attack against its neighbors and the United States, the secretive police state has never been more searched for, tweeted about or discussed. Some semi-chagrined analysts say the North, for the first time, has gone viral.

 Although Pyongyang tries every few years to drive up regional tensions and win political concessions, this latest saber-rattling has more forcefully captured global attention, in part because the mysterious and potentially dangerous North so perfectly feeds the appetites of the Internet and social media.

 Analysts say the surging interest plays into North Korea’s hands, amplifying the sense of crisis on the Korean Peninsula. The North caters to the Web by using social media and updating its state-run news agency Web site several times a day — fresh rhetoric for every news cycle, in what South Korea’s national security chief called a “headline campaign.”

有分析人士称蜂拥而至的兴趣成为了朝鲜的帮凶，放大了此次威胁对朝鲜半岛所造成的危机感。而朝鲜通过社会媒体，一天内多次更新国家官方网站来迎合网民的兴趣。他们为每一个新闻周期更换不同的言辞，对此，韩国国家安全长官称之为“大标题运动”。
