Well, then we might as well kill everyone in the world, in case any of use become a huge threat.
EDIT: Though I would not be opposed to military intervention in order to liberate the North Korean people in a theoretical/benevolent sense, teh United States is nowhere near trustworthy enough to be trusted with intervening.

So, Kim Jong Un actively trying to produce nuclear weapons, and "killing everyone in case they become a huge threat" is totally the same thing....
I mean, I'm sure the UN goes after everyone for crimes against humanity these days.

The problem with many wars these days is that it creates ripple effects and drags people in that have chosen to not go to war. The only certainty from these wars is that some rich old men will become very wealthy.
1) If NK loses its shit, it might go ahead and strike nearby countries. The US might not be affected, but China, japan, SK etc might end up with random missiles bombs being launched at them.
2) It will create more terrorists since there will be hundreds maybe thousands of innocents killed in the name of collateral damage.
3) justice: if nuclear threats the reason, Israel and India should have been bombed a long time ago.we cannot create one for us and another for them. There is no justification in it especially when the value of human life comes into it.
4) your country will pay the price of debt, recession, cuts etc. People not wanting this in your country will get dragged into it by the way of poverty. The poor end up paying for the war the most.
5) like Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, NK will probably churn up more rogue terrorist groups that will be left there.
Last but not least, if nuclear power and killing innocents is a reason to invade, the world should have invaded America a long time ago.
Illegal Iraq war, treatment of POW, holding prisoners without trail, kidnapping and torturing women like Afia Siddiq and violating any and every human right, bombing schools, funerals and weddings by mistake across several countries etc.
There is no good that can come from wars these days. The battlefield has changed and the old idiots who take their countries to war don't bother to think about consequences since with their wealth, they can go anywhere and keep their families safe. Me, you and the other average people do not have that luxury.
