I really don't see the US intervening in the eventuality of a North Korean attack, except to pull our troops out. I don't know what we would intervene with at any rate.
As to the NK economy, it is entirely based on their military and Kim doesn't give a tinkers damn about his people. He would, on the other hand, love to have control of SK.
He is a major problem and with nukes he is even more of a problem.
His idea of diplomacy is to threaten and attempt to extort. It worked will with the Clinton administration and has done him no harm since. Additional threats will be forthcoming and just like in Civilization II the warning that his warning are "backed with nuclear weapons" will also be part of the rhetoric.
