In a way, we didn't, because it was rather just the other way around:
For decades, american manchilds sent threats. There is a reason why the US is considered the greatest threat by the world's population: The US is by far the most aggressive nation in the world, their government is anything but reluctant when it comes to destroying other countries. Every nation out there is very well aware that if necessary, they'll even invent black propaganda lies to gain public support for such actions (think Powell's "iraqi weapons of mass destruction" or the "Nayirah testimony").
And like two dogs barking at each other, North Korean manchilds returned these threats. That was okay, because as long as dogs are barking, everything's fine. But North Korea knew very well that historically, only one thing has proven to be the ultimate insurance against being attacked by the US: Having the atomic bomb, for the US has never attacked a country having the atomic bomb. While the US military is by far the most powerful military in the world, with a budget as high as almost the complete rest of the world combined, they historically only ever attacked enemies they considered easy victims unable to perform a serious attack on US territory. So basically, every nation out there that fears to be attacked by the US secretly wishes to acquire the atomic bomb. And the US tries to stop these nations from doing so, because the US of course prefers easy victims over serious opponents.
Recently, things are getting a little more concrete: According to reports, the US has developed plans to attack North Korea, using B-1 bombers stationed in Guam. (Unlike the average, rather ignorant mass media consumer) the North Korean government is well aware of these plans, and they reacted to these plans by in return threatening to attack the military base in Guam, in order to eliminate this dangerous threat to their nation.
Anyone who considers that an completely irrational, irresponsible behaviour by the North Korean government should ask himself: How would I feel if I knew that nation XY has developed plans and might already be preparing for a devastating attack on my country from a nearby island? Think "cuba crises" - but times 10, since back at the time the russians were not seriously preparing to actually use the cuban missiles, they were rather just a safety measure and a tit for tat response to the atomic missiles that the US had previously stationed around the soviet union.
