I was stationed on an amphib that was part of a CBG in the Pacific. Our sonar capabilities/detection technology is vastly greater than it was in the 80's, especially with one specific enemy whose capabilities we know.
They will have P-3/P-8s buzzing out of Midway and know the location of all of the NK submarine assets before they get within 1000 miles. Brass probably keeps a running tab on all of their DE subs.
But I still disagree with muscle flexing all over the world. We are flexing at the Russians, and trying to negotiate a deal with the Chinese that somehow hinges on them fixing "the North Korea" problem. So, incite an attack and watch the Chinese run to our assist?

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
