Furthermore, North Korea would never fire any sort of weapon at the United States not because we deter them but because China would roll in there and completely annihilate them if they did. The last thing a regional hegemon like China wants is to provide the US with a reason to send large military forces close to its borders. To date, China is the only friend of North Korea and even if Kim Jung Un is truly insane other military leaders are not and realize that launching any attack against the US is pure suicide for everyone in their country.
They can have all the weapons they want, the US is just going to sit back and wait for history to run its course and for the regime to collapse.

I hope you're correct. Unfortunately, I have one of my few agreements with Marco Rubio on this subject, i.e. "I have been warning throughout this campaign that North Korea is run by a lunatic who has been expanding his nuclear arsenal while President Obama stood idly by," the Florida Republican said in a statement issued late Tuesday night."
Trump's opinion "Kim is "getting too close to doing something."
I don't blame Obama or Clinton as they do - did anyone read that this started in 2003 when W was in office?
What bothers me is the vector. 12 years from beginning to small hydrogen warhead. You know he'd sell one to ISIS for $500m, right? China doesn't control them.
