Have you really no idea of the power of todays nuclear weapons, they make the ones you dropped on Japan, look like fireworks.
Nuking the North Korean capital would put all the people in the South Korean capital city, 121 miles away in the "killing zone"
South Korea, is not only a US ally but there are 28,500 US military personnel stationed there. That is because it has been seen by every president since the Korean war as an highly strategic and important US military presence. If you tried bring the soldiers home first, North Korea would find out.
Then of course parts of southern China which border North Korea would also be in that killing zone, with many more dying from the effects of radiation, which could also, depending on the wind direction, kill many in Japan, which is off the coast of North Korea.
What you propose would result in killing millions of innocent civilians, two from countries which have close economic and military ties with your country. On top of that giving another nuclear country, China, a legitimate reason to retaliate and Nuke you. And unlike North Korea, China has nukes with working delivery systems, an estimated 260 of them.
Your suggestion is a blue print for WW3, with nukes.
No wonder a majority of people in 65 countries see the USA as the biggest threat to world peace, when some of them think like you.

They have no deliverable weapons and no delivery system capavle of reaching the US.. Their leader has just done an about face under pressure from China and stated they will only use nukes if their sovereignity is threatened.

LMFAO. Why doesn't Russia nuke the Ukraine? If the USA used nuclear weapons on North Korea every country in the world would get nuclear weapons to protect themselves from the USA. You obviously don't understand that South Koreans don't want to be cannon fodder for stupid Americans.

You'd be killing people of S. Korea, and contaminate across the border of PRC China.
You see, US didn't use nukes during Korean war nor Vietnam war when there were large US casualties.

So you would murder millions of N. Korean citizens, plus irradiate hundreds of thousands of square miles of land - most of which would be in China and Japan?
Besides which, N. Korea has no nukes, let alone missiles capable of carrying them. Stop listening to Best Korea's propaganda films!

Who is "we"? And if "we" used nukes on North Korea - what then? Do you seriously think that other nations (e.g. China, Russia) which are nuclear powers would sit idly by?

Because one nuclear weapon aimed at California would kill millions. Why do you always want to destroy other people who have different views from America?
