I agree, the only real threat from North Korea is their nuclear arsenal. However this appears to be relatively small and their intercontinental capabilities appear to be limited to neighboring countries so far as they've displayed.
If we were to face them on a conventional battlefield most likely we would run up their ass all the way to the front porch. Sadly though even if N. Korea did go nuclear in war most likely we would not retaliate as such due to their close proximity to other allied countries as well as no so allied countries that just need a reason to kick our ass too.
In addition to S. Korea, Japan, China, and the UK, we'd most likely have Russia's interest in the conflict too. I can see their support dropping if North Korea were to do something stupid. Russia's made some bad decisions, but the country has never been stupid.
