Problem is, Seoul is so close to the DMZ that he could probably commence shelling/rocketing the city within 24 hours of starting the ground offensive. They can start the SCUD campain without crossing the border.
What will the South (and us) give them to stop it?
For that matter, Japan is under the missile threat as well, and is also under our nuke umbrella.
We have the capability right now to destroy NK within 60 minutes, if we have the motivation and the will to do so, and they cannot touch us, other possibly than the troops in South Korea. If we launched a coordinated land and sea based ballistic missile attack, they could probably not even be able to do that. In ten years, we may not be able to stop them from getting off a limited first strike. Standing down the missile defense development is a bad idea at this time.
