This is one of the things that has the West up in arms over the DPRK's nuclear program. In a conventional war, the DPRK has to have the support of the Soviet Union and Red China, giving the twilight wars ill-feeling between these two powers, the DPRK's dream of uniting the Korean peninsula is simply not going to happen.
A DPRK with a series of nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them upsets the entire balance of power..and just wait until they develop a missile that can reach the West Coast of the US.
