Because they would attack S Korea or Japan who are important allies, especially as we try to maintain influence in the area as China continues to fill out as a world power.
Sooo....why aren't SK and Japan attacking NK? Why the US?


And the US could provide ancillary support, along with SK and Japan, shouldn't that be enough to take down the mighty NK?

Because they aren't strong enough to do so.

Because we want to maintain influence in that area and if Japan and S Korea didn't need our military spport we would have less influence.

As far as taking down N Korea, nobody knows. The army could break immediately or the propaganda could be strong and they could dig in in the mountains and hold out for however long.

N Korea is the 4th largest army in the world. What they lack in sophistication they make up for in numbers. Japan and SKorea are not capable.
