I think the point is to weaken North Korea.

I would argue they're stronger & more dangerous now than they have been in years.

Their* technology still hasn't killed anything but unfortunate fish and North Koreans. When it has, I'll agree.

They have killed several South Korean soldiers within the last twenty years. The problem isn’t their technology so much as their sheer numbers and determination if they were to engage in some sort of military conflict. Their technology is outdated, but still deadly for countries within close range, and their ballistic missiles can allegedly reach the US mainland.
