Is it time to try another tactic rather than just adding more pointless sanctions?
Options within International Law are limited but for the sake of the North Koreans maybe it is time for him the Kim family to come to an end here and now by some means.

So now he's gone into extra nuclear pre-emptive bulls
t attack mode, in response to the new sanctions (quite how you can impose heavier sanctions on top of existing sanctions on a stagnant nation that doesn't trade with, communicate with or tolerate the rest of the world is beyond me, but that's another story).
Trouble is the day is fast approaching when he'll be able to back up his rhetoric. He's got the missiles, and he'll soon have the banger to araldite on the end of it.
Sanctions are already not enough. He's not listening, and you can only feel sorry for the poor NK rep at the UN who has to go and communicate the results back to Pyongyang. Any sign of 'calm it down a bit, fatty' from him and he'll find himself down-range of some fully loaded anti-aircraft guns.

reading some news I've got impression certain folks believe the sanctions will physically stop the missiles...
So, let's just think for a moment.
What would the outcome be tomorrow morning of a limited, but potentially viewed as heavy handed tactical nuclear (rather than conventional) first strike on his gaff and infrastructure offices to prevent him being a silly little boy with his new toys?
Serious question, because in some minds, it may be a good idea to nip it in the bud, but I am not so sure. Where would China sit on that? And what about Putin? And what about the amount of graffiti and destroyed public monuments by lefties globally etc.
Big questions indeed... I appreciate there are no answers, just gathering notions in response. But could it just establish a precedent for consequences against such a despot's similar activities?

...or 5 million refugees (complete guess)escaping the irradiated areas, then $trillions to bring North korea out of poverty/starvation.
All this without any possibility of oil revenues coming out of it.
