The only way I would be okay is if the USA had irrefutable proof that North Korea was about to launch missiles at allied population centers and not just posturing. Then a preemptive strike to save the lives of our allies would be acceptable.

Attacking without such proof would not only cause bloodshed that might have been avoided, but ratchet up tensions in the region (especially with China), and paint the USA as too aggressive.

If North Korea attacks first, then the USA and allies would have a free hand to destroy that regime as nobody could argue that it didn't present a clear threat.

If North Korea is only posturing then, economic sanctions should be continued until the populace has had enough and the regime collapses from internal pressure. However, contingent to that, there could be no humanitarian aid given until the Kims are out of power. It sounds harsh, but even just supplying basic needs would allow the Kims to continue their misuse of national resources and the abusive programs that keep them in control.

Yeah and I don't think North Korea really gives a crap what you "feel" or about being liked. Their primary objective is to ensure the survival of their regime. The only difference is they're pretty fucking good at playing this game as opposed to some other "rogue states". 

At this point the US already has many allies with human rights issues and their no.1 trade partner is a so-called "communist" country in China. I guess what would really be the difference in normalizing relations with North Korea?

Give them economic incentives, in return they agree not to fire shit over Japan, tone down the rhetoric, and improve the living conditions of their citizens. IMO that's the only logical play here. 

So let me break down your post:

1. Fuck your "feels"

2. The US already has monsters on its team. We should add more instead of addressing the ones we have.

3. We should pay them not to attack us, because we're the bullies. Never mind that paying off our enemies has literally only ever emboldened them and has never actually accomplished anything.

I consider the opposite to be closer to the truth: China is North Korea's only ally in the area. China values its economic relationships with South Korea, Japan, and the US, relationships more lucrative than the one it has with the heavily-sanctioned North Korea.

I can see China staging a land invasion of North Korea for the sake of maintaining a buffer zone between itself and US-ally South Korea. This is if North Korea were to attack the US or a US ally.

I know it's a serious problem, but this line just completely threw me for a loop: 

"This is how they live in modern-day America:  huddled together—the poor, the cold, the lonely, and the homosexuals."

The conclusion is no one is willing to pay with the lives of potentially 10+ million people dead just to have Kim removed. 

Really is NK any worse than Saudi Arabia? China? Israel also commits human rights abuses. 

They're just more broke, which causes their people to suffer. 

If you want to be upset that they have nuclear weapons in the first place, blame George W. Bush. But they've had them now for 11+ years. That's the fact of the matter, and yes "our feels" doesn't change that at all. 

Are you willing to go fight in a land war in a radiated Korea fighting guerilla warfare style in a jungle? I doubt it.

NK wont strike first, the US is the agressor here with all their sanctions and military maneuvers , NK is reacting

Ruler, I just want to say before you delve into this, that yes, the US regime has committed atrocities and numerous horrible thigns, and yes I'd consider them a threat to the world, but remember, there isn't always a good side. The North Korean regime is terrible. However, I personally am against wat because of the innocent lives that will be lost, and because I'm weary of the US's intentions.

Who wants WW3? Your video gaming days WILL be over. Fools. The UNSC has already said NO to a US first strike. China and Russia are NK allies and said no to a US strike. If NK attacks anyone, they are on their own. China and Russia will not support them. Trump will continue to goad NK to attack, that's all.

So why arent you going into Korea now and fight for the US military if you wish so?
