They are demolishing bridges on their side of the DMZ and cutting reunification committees. Their official stance is, again, 2 states, no longer 1 state, 2 systems. How are they escalating? Looks more like they are hunkering down.

Thats exactly what they are doing. They see WW3 is coming and are preparing to survive it.

Makes sense. I don't think they would intentionally provoke ROK, even if half a century of talks haven't resulted in reunification, the Korean People very much see the other side as Korean People. It's a deeply tragic situation.
