Kim Jong-Un isn't stupid, he's egotistical. The recent murder of his half-brother is evidence of how clever he can be, as well as how paranoid he can be.
Paranoid people plan for attacks against them; since he has developed nukes as the primary symbol of his power, he's not only going to protect them against any and all threats he can think of, he's going to plan how he can execute the maximum retaliation against whomever might try attack them.
Li'l Kim has enough of a God complex he will start lobbing whatever nukes haven't been taken out within the first five minutes of a military strike at So. Korea and U.S. bases within reach.
That f***er has no problems taking the world down with him.
Unless we have an exact knowledge of how many and where his nuclear arsenal along with any transport systems are, a pre-emptive military strike is out of the question.
