North Korea is not a threat to the US at present, and probably not anytime soon either. I'd say that they are starting to become a threat to our allies in that neck of the woods however, Japan and South Korea. While no sane ruler would risk starting a war with either country, Kim Jong-un seems to be pretty unstable, so I wouldn't put it past him to attack them.

It would only take about 300 or so nukes to destroy the world due to nuclear winter. They're a great threat. Humanity as a whole is a great threat to itself.
