The NK isn't the BEST equipped military in the world, most of its equipment is quite old in comparison to western forces, and they could be wiped out relatively easily with a concentrated effort, however they do have:
- A workable Navy
- An airforce with over 1500 military aircraft
- A conscripted, somewhat trained army of over 1 million soldiers
- A significant number of chemical weapons with ballistic capability
- Rudimentary nuclear weapons
In short; they could be defeated and without any western collateral damage; they have no viable way of attacking Western nations or even South Korea really, who have a much higher grade of military tech, HOWEVER... it would be very expensive in terms of both military resources, and we would be counting death stats for "our own" troops rather than mentioning them by name.

yeah could be done though easily enough unlike the middle east it would proper warfare which is a lot easier ,but wont ever happen unless they carry out their threats like previously.
