As far as I'm aware, the North Koreans don't have the ballistic missile capability to hit the continental US. On the other hand, the US do have a number of bases on Japan that could be considered under threat....
As much as the North Korean leadership are mad as a bottle of chips. I doubt they would want to face extinction, by nuking their neighbours. They simply don't have the size of nuclear arsenal that the Russians had during the cold war. The fact they have nukes gives the crazy barstewards a bargaining chip to use against their neighbours and the US. On the other hand, using said weapons would likely invite a rather disproportionate response.... Personally if I was the president of the US, and had just seen thousands of my troops incinerated by North Korean nukes. I'd happily turn large swaths of North Korea into radioactive glass....
