do you think that NK is seeing Obama as "weak and ineffectual"? I would submit that if they are in fact "testing" the new administration, it's more likely to see what economic concessions they might be willing to make on the road to some kind of treaty. Getting further out there -- perhaps China has encouraged NK to pursue nuclear tests to bring pressure to bear on the US and other nations for economic concessions.

While I'm not in favor of nuclear proliferation, as a purely intellectual exercise, I would argue that if China, Taiwan and Japan developed a nuclear capability it would stabilize the region further -- mutually assured destruction worked between the US and the USSR all those years.
