North Korea has always acted crazy in order to force concessions. No-one is fooled by it any more. In the 70s and early 80s, they were truly crazy. Tunnels under the demilitarized zone leading directly into Seoul (which you could march regiments down). Blowing up the entire South Korean cabinet, barring the President, in Rangoon. Infiltration missions down the coast line.

They don't do things by half measures, and if North Korea really wanted to nuke someone, a lack of a missile delivery system would not have stopped them by now. Seal up a warhead in a boat and you can float it into any harbour in the world and let it go boom. They're threatening because they want concessions. Fuel, food, maybe the a DVD of Season 6 of The Shield for Kim...hell, they may even be trying to establish a decent negotiating position for the reunification of the country. Maybe not just yet, but Kim boy won't live forever, and he has few suitable sucessors. Not to mention the country is falling apart.
