It's not that hard to identify pure propaganda. Notice the name calling in this piece? Apparently North Korea should give up it's A bombs for promises of massive aid and investment even though these promises weren't kept at all after North Korea shut it's A bomb program down. The article mentions that inter-Korean agreements were not kept by Lee Myung-bak, but fictionalizes Kim as a 'brinksman' to explain his outrage as if there is no good reason to be incensed.

North Korea shut down it's A bomb program (UN VERIFIED) immediately after the US made promises of aid and investment, but the promises were never kept. Relations between North and South Korea were very good until a Conservative was elected in the south. It's hard to steal resources, money and land from North Korea, and that is why relations with that country are not good. All wars result from one side trying to steal resources, money, or land.
