Unlike Germany, North Korea is a tiny economic and military power compared with the surrounding countries; China, Russia, Japan, South Korea, USA [which is not technically a surrounding country]. So they don't really need to be attacked before they go postal and invade all of the surrounding countries as Japan did and Germany did.

The main issue is support that they receive from China and Russia as a counterpoint to Team USA which is constantly threatening those countries. Apparently China has decided their pet pit-bull is going a bit awol so is reining them in economically, which is quite a big pressure on Kim. No coal buying, no airline flights is a start which will filter up to Kim the Fatter. There are probably other pressures too. He could go into a closed society like Albania, but that wouldn't be a good situation for him if all the surrounding countries are putting the kibosh on him.

South Korea has been quite a pain in the neck for me, robbing my company Qualcomm which invented the technology and licensed it to them. If they expect my taxes to subsidize their, they have got another think coming. Robbing me is not a way to make friends.

If North Korea nukes Seoul, it would be bad for Samsung and the South Korean Qualcomm robbers. Samsung sales would be immediately replaced by Apple and many others [assuming there are Samsung factories in South Korea].

China also robs me [Qualcomm] at $1 billion each time, so I'm not too worried about them either.
