But trying not to unfortunately doesn't deter the kind of people running the NK government.
They've been kidnapping and murdering people for decades - people outside of their own country. Inside they've been brutalizing their own populace to the point where NK folks from the same family as SK folks are usually several inches shorter due to malnutrition.
It's a horrible state, to be honest. There's literally nothing good about it.
If it does get taken down (and really it should have been long ago) I just hope it can be done without too much damage to the extremely deluded civilians of the area. They never asked for this and don't deserve it.

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.
