If it wasn't for the hundreds (thousands?) of Chemical/Bio warheads on many thousands of hidden/buried artillery pieces pointed at Seoul I think the South Koreans would run roughshod over the North after taking a beating for a few days. Seoul would be a mess for a long time, even without nukes. It is obviously believed the Norks can build a nuke but can they build it as a deployable weapon? And if not, for how long?
What little NK has to trade with is pretty bad; missiles or nukes, nukes or missiles. Stopping their limited shipping to search for embargoed goods really needs to be done.
If they decide to a lob an ICBM at Hawaii, shoot it down with Aegis ships and THAAD. This is what those billions of (wasted?) dollars was designed for. Then bomb them further into the stone age.
Russia and especially China are not happy with losing the Norks as a buffer between South Korea (and her allies) so expect China to lean on Kim some more, and not for our benefit. China probably benefits most from the status quo, a bug in our butt and a buffer zone.
