It must be nice, being so ignorant. UN-backed attack would be almost immediate given the world-wide support for non-proliferation, at least in the places that matter (the West).

We (America) would love to invade and beat the shit out of North Korea. Why? We like South Korea, we hate totalitarian communist states, and we hate China, and North Korea reminds us of China, only failed. Coincidentally, we're also interested in keeping luke-warm ties with China, since they are the last remaining real threat to our country, economically and politically. They back North Korea. That's why we haven't invaded. Once North Korea finally goes full retard and breaks the few rules PRC has told it not to break (basically no outright, unprovoked foreign aggression), they're fucked. We will never be scared, nor ought we be, of a nation so close to total economic (and subsequent political) failure that they can't even keep power on to their capital city 24/7.
