Its safe to say that North Korea has no value and would hardly be missed, if nuked out of existence. Let's make it happen!

I would not go so far to say that North Korea is so rational. They have the ability to right now...end their Countries Starvation, Energy Issues, Security Needs, Families with members in the South and a host of other problems by simply signing a Cease Fire to the Korean War and ending their Nuclear Program.
The North would then recieve Billions in aid from the South and the U.S. Such ties would have almost instant economic bonuses and the North could be well on it's way to becoming prosperous like the South...but..NOOOOOOOO.
You have one Tin Plated self declaed Living GOD of a Dictator who would rather see the whole North starve to death or be destroyed by the U.S. than relinquish any power or even have his people no longer believe he is GOD himself.

North Korea could easily detonate an EMP weapon over the USA in space that would do more damage to our country than 10 Nuclear bombs . They have the Bomb, they might be able to put it in orbit and detonate it when it passes over Kansas . The nuclear blast wouldn't kill anyone the radiation would not kill anyone but the damage to our infrastructure would kill 100,000,000 before it was over .
They are not to be taken lightly !

China is their benefactor this time around, the way I see it, every single action they make is posited from some Chinese office. Therefore the choices they make are not their own.
I see NK as a military experiment on behalf of China.
Almost like the State of Israel for the West.

What if it isnt a drill?
North Korea could nuke LA nad NY. China can already hit America with their new gen ICB's. Imagine if Norh Korea just kicks off WW3 under the guise of a drill?
I am surprised people are not more concerned about America getting nuked. Its seems much more likely now than ever before.
Why would they say they are tageting the United States?
The more I read about America being the sworn enemy of North Korea and the Chinese, the more it seems that a generation have grown up believing that that they would grow up to fight and defeat the United States. The Chinese Military trains their soldier for a confrontation with America. Norht Korea trains their entire population.
Imagine if North Korea and China decide to strike first and take out LA and NY straight up. It would certainly put them on the front foot. And if they see the problems in the South China Sea having no solution then I dont see why they would not consider this option.
Very scary times.

"If the puppet group of traitors takes a direct part in the U.N. 'sanctions,' the DPRK will take strong physical counter-measures against it," the North's Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea said, referring to the South.
