The whole thing doesn't pass the smell test. NK knows they cannot defeat the US. We could make a parking lot out of them. Why would he take on the US military. I think he knows that in the long run, China is behind him. China backed NK during the Korean war. China could stop this anytime. Why don't they. Guess we may find out.
Did you ever think China may not want to stop this? Think about it. Fat Non Dong has become quite a little pita for them.
Who knows? Maybe they figure they can let the good ole US of A do their dirty work expending effort, manpower, and ordinance while they act all upset and then look like the good guys on the back end.
