Why N. Korea - Why now?

Been thinking about this N. Korea thing. Last time we fought them it was a cold war proxy fight with "communism" aka China (maybe Russia, too). China's kinda peeved at us for inflating the currency (remember the Geithner trip?). So, methinks this is about holding the US accountable for trade shenanigans; notably money creation and protectionism.

People have been saying it for years, but China (and India to a lesser extent), is about to start making waves. I see Russia aligning with the US, Europe, and Australia in a very dirty new war. It may be carried out covertly through spies, economics, and sabotage but it may escalate to widespread, but contained, battles including limited nuclear warfare.

But what's new about that?
