Would you agree on a pre-emptive strike against North Korea?

In fairness to North Korea, it is the US that went to war in their country. It is the US that surrounds their border with military bases and runs military drills simulating the destruction of their regime. 

It's not so easy to bully a country when they have nuclear weapons, most likely the US is going to have to swallow their pride here and conceed certain things to North Korea. 

I don't feel concessions should be made to any country that tries to pick fights with a super power just so it can continue being a massive cult.

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.
