There is also no telling if there is some North Korean sleeper cell in the USA just waiting for the call to blow up half of a major city.
You also don't have to wipe out the entire USA to destroy it. Look at what knocking two buildings did. That more or less ruined the nation, surged us into wars we can not afford, and led to the slaughter of thousands of more Americans and hundreds of thousands of civilians from other nations. I'd call 9-11 a home run for whoever did it. Knocked it out of the ballpark. There is no telling what some whack job nation like N. Korea has up their sleeve. Or not.

very very true
while most Americans think they are safe with big military and budgets, modern 21st century warfare requires none of that. It's about destabilizing economies, and after 9/11 the USA is a pretty big target labeled as "sucker' by any terrorist group. I'm betting the USA would do it again over a another small strike.
the USA needs to toughen up like Israel.
