No. Does Best Korea have nukes? Yes. Could they send them our way? They're getting better at killing fish in the Sea of Japan, but not much else.
If Best Korea wanted to raise havoc, all they'd have to do is air burst a nuke of any size high enough to fry our satellites. One week without Talk Irvine and things would start getting all "Shiny and Chrome" around here.

You have to kind of look at this in a long term strategic perspective for the U.S. If North Korea completes the Nuke program (which they are very close to), U.S. hands are going to be tied up and hand cuffed against threats in South east Asia (China influence) as well as Europe against the Russian influence. The reason why China needs NK is to keep buffer against U.S. influence near their border and keep U.S. power in check so that China can expand their own empire. Also, Iran and other rogue countries would be tempted to pursue nukes instead of giving them up. They are currently watching how US vs. NK play unfolds. Just think about Iran and NK having nukes. One of the reason why U.S. became so wealthy and a super power was that we were able to expand our influence globally since winning WWII with US dollar becoming a global currency crown (from UK Sterling).
I think next step is to intercept their ICBM test missile and show that we are damn serious. However, if we miss, we look like a fool so it's a gamble. Let the fat boy squeak and get tough. Softness against NK (for the past 20 years) ain't gonna work against this Switz educated genius. Kim ain't crazy. He is very calculative and doing a good job against a mammoth so U.S. should not give in.
Look what happened when we stayed out of WWII (before Pearl Harbor).
Before things get out of hand again........
OTOH... United States isn't even mentioned in end times events. Maybe we won't be around or we'll just be too weak to do anything.
