No, but I don't believe North Korea itself is the obstacle. Any of the major world powers could squish it like an ant and all have taken turns threatening to.
The problem that nobody wants to foot the bill (and probably only the US can afford to), however Russia/China don't want another US-friendly state at their back door, especially given our reckless trade obstruction/sanctioning habits (this is why we should demand more compelling justification than hacking accusations or how they treat their shemales when we plunge international relations to new lows).
The dream solution would be unilateral support for a South Korean-led surgical strikes on NK nuclear facilities, but apparently we can't track the precise locations of all of those facilities and there's too much risk of a counter-strike. It also wouldn't achieve much without an occupation since they could just rebuild new sites, and SK military isn't capable of an occupation without knocking us back to the first question (which superpower gets to set up a puppet-state).
I think given China's gradual economic abandonment, NK's government is on its death bed. The sudden wave of missile provocation isn't as much the result of breakthrough technology as a display of force/legitimacy to the NK public while the classic source of their legitimacy (China) disappears. Trump's best approach (which I bet is already underway) may be to make war seem imminent and further shake the NK public while funding a domestic coup.
Your original post implied that Trump is worsening the situation/en route to a disaster. How so? It's really a matter of picking the best possible disaster, which is stressing NK into internal collapse (and hoping they aren't dumb enough to actually attack Guam).
