Why exactly does North Korea want bilateral talks with the US?
I keep hearing that this is what they want, but I never get an explanation why.
Thank you very much.

Right, but if they just want to play with the "big dawgs", then why not choose Russia or China to hold bilateral talks with?

Because the whole point of Kim wanting Nuclear weapons is to be able to bypass all of the U.N Bullsh** and to talk directly to the big-boys.
As Kim jong il sees it, he has some leverage now to get what he wants. He has something over the head of the west and he wants to see a profit from it.
North Korea has spent roughly 35% of their GDP the last decade on defence spending. Now that his army is Nuclear, he wants to pull his country up-out-of poverty and get rid of the sanctions using threat of Nuclear force.

Winter is coming and they need food and fuel for their people
Also they seek to a split between S. Korea and the US.
Why not ask the Chinese to stop supplying teh adivise and to provide the N. Koreans with food

n.koreas president is a lunatic with no love for his people. they are dying from disease and starvation daily. he has wanted to his country to be a super power and thats why he wanted to have the nuke.its a status symbol for many small countrys but china is getting fed up with his antics and the usa is depending on china to come up with a solution.

Because they want to deal directly with the one country that scares them the most.
