There's no need to speculate. They want nukes to threaten other nations into allowing them to take over South Korea. They've been saying they want to take the country over for almost 60 years now. It why they've been armed to the teeth despite constant UN efforts.
What would Obama do if Il-Jong said get out of South Korea or we'll launch a nuke a Japan? Japan does have a limited military because we have promised to protect them from foreign invaders. Do we walk away? How do you think their long time enemy Japan will respond if such a threat is made? Can we stop or blame our trading partner and ally if they want a military build-up then? How about Russia that once controlled Korea? You think they'd concede land to the North Koreans if threatened or lash out instead? What if China fears continued expansion? There's plenty of weapons, war history, and racism between Japan, China, Russia, and Korea to make it a very real possibility that the region could go to hell in a hand basket really fast.
