I'm also reminded of something referred to as the Napoleon complex or short man syndrome, where short crabby slightly tubby men try to make up for their deficiencies with belligerence.
From what I've read and heard, China has ONLY agreed to protect and aid North Korea to the extent that short stuff in the top photo is attacked without provocation. By even China's best spin, attacking anyone else first would presumably provocation sufficient to flatten shorty here.
As for us -- all we can do is to continue to apologize for the neocon little horror that we allowed into a position of power, and make damned sure no one like him or from his family ever gets anywhere near the Oval Office or any other position of power or authority ever again.
