I mean those are good reasons, but in what ways has the US threatened NK for anything other than their attempts to develop a nuclear weapon? I'm honestly asking for examples because if there are any, I'd love to hear about them, it might actually change my opinion.

Without nukes, North Korea are easily bullied around. With nukes they're not. If they get nukes as soon as possible, they skip what Iran is going through, or has just been through, and they definitely won't suffer an invasion like Iraq has been through.

Like I've been saying, in Kim Jong Il's brain, this is strategically sound....and if I were a nutbar dictator, I'd do the same thing.
