The fact that NK possess nuclear weapons strongly discourages external players from attacking it. It does not in any way change the tools NK has at its disposal domestically.

If you're trying to say that had NK not had nukes we would bomb it for 'humanitarian purposes' or 'on behalf of its people' then I have a couple of bridges for sale.

You think the US would just leave them alone as a communist, sovereign country without nukes, bordering china???

I think any US intervention in NK would not be to help the people of NK, that's all.
