#1 Oh hell. Do it the fun way. Repurpose the asteroid redirect mission of NASA in 2 ways.
1) Don't bring a small piece of the asteroid back rather put an old Project Nerva nuclear engine on a very large chunk of it and
2) Redirect the chunk to impact NKor.

#3 I do have some sympathy for the NKor peasants. They've been raised from birth knowing no other way.

If the asteroid(s) could be just small, but highly targeted chunks (by the time they impact the earth, so do your math), then okay.

#4 that 1994 deal that Tillerson refers to was negotiated by Jimmy Carter and presented to Bill Clinton as a done deal.

#5 Smash their rocket infrastructure. A nuclear bomb isn't much good without the means to deliver it.

#6 Read an article about Trump leveraging China's sense of world prestige and humiliation to force them into reining in their mad little dog.
