RE: Should we be concerned? Norrth Korean missile test reaches new heights and may be able to strike the United States
Who was it that said; "If you have one nuke you're a target, several and you're a threat"?
Whoever it was, they were right :-)
In my mind, this is just postulating, nukes always have been (1945 not withstanding), and hopefully always will be, a defensive strategy. Two nations owning nukes have never gone to war, because of the Strangelove effect.
As in, if we're losing, we'll nuke. Ergo N. Korea are just saying, in case you're thinking of invading, we can and will nuke.
They have gone to war indirectly unofficially via spy wars.
Oh yes, most definitely! Add to that cyber wars as well; I should have clarified, I meant conventional war, giving the threat of losing sovereignty by being invaded/taken over.

Plus, the exception to the rule is India and Pakistan, who technically are still at war, and who both own nukes.
