The North Korean government can't last forever and I think sooner or later there will be a war to reunite Korea. I think the ROK army will win fairly quickly as long as China stays out. The massive loss of life in Seoul and huge amount of artillery pointed at would be the major concern. Of course with modern guided bombs and the fact that we know will almost all of that artillery is we can take it out fairly quickly.
It will be expensive in both life and treasure but if you know it has to happen it might make sense to just get it over with and stopping the suffering of the North Korean people. We may have already waited to long allowing NK to develop nukes. Allowing them build to build more and to build effective delivery systems really isn’t in anyone’s best interest. If they can develop a good medium range missile they will b e able to threaten Tokyo.
No I don’t want a war but if you are going to fight one better to do it on your time table and not theirs.

If there were a war with North Korea the US has the resources to deal with it.

In a personal sense, we could hijack a nuclear silo and shoot an ICBM at Pyongyang.

I agree that if war is inevitable, it is much better to start it at a time of our choosing.
