Sure the US could take out NK but then China would take them out too. You want World War III? Being ABLE to do something does not necessarily mean it SHOULD be done. I guarantee you NK and its allies could decimate most of the US, and the rest of the world if they were pushed to it, which is why they get such a wide berth.
