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

With all the constant threatening from North Korea of nuking the US and our allies and recent apparent successful test of a hydrogen bomb, I was wondering what would be the position of people here that come from differnt countries regarding the idea of attacking and trying to stop NK's dictator before any possible use of such nuclear weapon happens.

The questions are as follow:

1) Are you ok with the US and Co. doing a pre-emptive strike against North Korea in an effort to stop this constant threat? If you say no, why?

2) If you think that a preemptive attack against NK should be avoided at all costs, what would be your position in a possible scenario where the procrastination of an intervention there results in North Korea striking first?

I'm polling this motherfucker so poll will be up soon.

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

NK struck first in 1950.

Go back to defending ISIS, Ruler. You were more amusing then.

No, China would object. NK gotta do something stupid enough to make China abandon it.

 At this point, I would not be surprised if China's stance, on taking NK's side if we attack first, is just a bluff in itself. China is so heavily tied to us, whereas NK has become nothing more a debt to them. I believe that's just their way of trying to prevent NK from detonating a warhead so close their border, but if we attacked first, I think China would hang back. 

That being said though, I still disagree with a preemptive strike. NK has been blowing smoke up our asses since the cease-fire was signed. This is nothing new. They know the second they harm a hair on either us or our allies that they're done. 

Never underestimate the power of stupidity. This is Kim Jong Un's North Korea, not Il's or Sung's. That said, all we can most optimally do is react, not act so as not to draw the ire of China and Russia. Let's get Japan and South Korea to build up their military to the distaste of China, not that China can rationally do anything about it: it would be North Korea's doing that would be empowering US allies to build up their military.
