North Korea greeted the weekend by stating through its KCNA news agency that it is entering a "state of war" with South Korea. This seems like much more serious news than an earlier KCNA story about using nutritious leeks in seasonal dishes, but there's reason to be skeptical that NoKo's latest declaration means anything at all.

The statement wasn't accompanied by an actual attack, which would have been the most obvious sign that North Korea was serious about this. Instead, it's just more chest-beating, this time in response to the "provocation" of the U.S. flying stealth bombers over South Korea. Most seem fairly sure that this is just more posturing from the country that loves its propaganda:

"WAR!" scream-tweeted Drudge Report, because there always has to be that one guy.

Bloomberg's South Korea-based reporter Sangwon Yoon seemed dubious of North Korea's statement, warning the media not to take "state rhetoric" at "face value" and saying the latest threat is "not new" but "continued rhetoric." She later reminded her followers that technically, North and South Korea have been in a "state of war" since the 1953 armistice.
