But it does appear that NK's army has final approval for a nuclear attack on the US.
The ball is in their court, I suppose.
Or we could just end this very quickly ourselves, and drop the bomb first lol..
My question is who the final approval actually comes from.. They received an approval from other nations?

You're ignoring the best delivery system of all. Sticking a large nuke inside a shipping container amongst other shipping containers on a cargo boat from a proxy origin, and detonating a nuke in a continental US port.

In any case, conventional bombs like Tsar Bombe, Fuel-Air-Explosives and ground-penetrating missiles would be more practical. My preference would be cryo-bombs which would contain liquid nitrogen and just freeze brittle the target area. Then any shrapnel bomb would just smash the place up

Since the end of the Korean War 60 years ago, the government of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK or North Korea) has repeatedly put forward virtually the same four proposals to the United States. They are:
1. A peace treaty to end the Korean War.
2. The reunification of Korea, which has been “temporarily” divided into North and South since 1945.
3. An end to the U.S. occupation of South Korea and a discontinuation of annual month-long U.S-South Korean war games.
4. Bilateral talks between Washington and Pyongyang to end tensions on the Korean peninsula.
The U.S. and its South Korean protectorate have rejected each proposal over the years. As a consequence, the peninsula has remained extremely unstable since the 1950s. It has now reached the point where Washington has used this year’s war games, which began in early March, as a vehicle for staging a mock nuclear attack on North Korea by flying two nuclear-capable B-2 Stealth bombers over the region March 28. Three days later, the White House ordered F-22 Raptor stealth fighter jets to South Korea, a further escalation of tensions.

You are close, except, you are forgetting what SOUTH Korea wants. SK does not want to be a united communist country with NK, which is why the US and the UN are squeezing NK. See, we are trying to support SK from the little fat man bully.

The problem is, from what we can gather from inside NK, the dictator is starving the people. It more humanitarian than political.
Plus he keeps threatening everyone. SK is on alert because they know he's cray cray.

A nuclear attack or for that matter an attack of any kind by Kim Jong-Un's military will certainly lead to all out war. The important thing to remember is that North Korea are way behind South Korea and America in terms of military advancements. Did anyone see the most recent state-sponsored army training videos? It was like watching Dads Army it was that comical. I think deep down Kim Jong-Un knows that he can verbally attack his enemies but at the same time he must be aware that his military would be overpowered even though its strength is well over 1,000,000 if he decided to go to war. He is young and experienced but worryingly unpredictable however I would be very surprised if anything comes of all this.
