No. NK likes to bluff alot. It's gotten to the point, you can't take any of the bluffs seriously. It's like the short guy running his mouth to make up for his size. So preemptively attacking NK on the basis that they are being serious with their threats wouldn't hold any water these days regardless of what party chooses to it. I'm all for protecting ourselves but they'll have to strike first to give the US/Japan an ironclad justification for war. Plus, China and Russia will more likely side with the US/Japan in that scenario. Preemptively attacking NK might start a war with China and Russia because the justification would be really flimsy.
