Attacking North Korea now creates significant risk to the US. They have a large nuclear arsenal with advanced delivery technology. They pose a significant regional threat with conventional arms to South Korea and Seoul in particular. It would also cause significant regional instability and are within easy arms reach of their largest ally China. There is no comparison. North Korea and their nuclear threat is the best example of why we should take action prior to nuclear development in Iran. North Korea also has a reputation as a Hermit Kingdom if left alone and doesn’t have a religious mandate to kill Americans.
