Just because it's an option, need not mean that it be exercised.
What I do believe is that it's extremely dangerous for the North Koreans to do for nuclear weapons what they've done for missiles.
Put them on the market for the highest bidder.

In 2002, the Spanish ship SS Navarra, stopped a North Korean freighter of the coast of Somalia with 43 Scud missiles bound for Yemen.
They have no concern for the impact of their proliferation of missile technology, and only want to generate cold, hard cash that the can't in any other way.
For the love of all that it holy, they smuggle narcotics into developed countries using diplomatic pouches, and sell it to local dealers.
Because Yemen is offically an ally, and it wasn't the smoking gun that the Bush White House was hoping for.
Now missiles are not particularly useful without a nasty payload, and high explosive isn't that nasty. Biological weapons are hard to disperse. Chemical weapons have a similiar problem, and do nothing to undermine enemy infrastructures, having use in being a terror weapon or against enemy forces.
In my view, it's all fear-mongering. And, as I said, I don't believe a word any of these hawks tell me. It's just sad that this nonsense has polluted our side of the aisle. The Bush Doctrine has got to go, and it's absolutely shameful that Democrats are reinforcing it. (This, more than anything else, is why I'm going to have real trouble showing up on November 4th.) But, as Bill Maher once said, Americans would eat paint if you spent enough money on advertising. Where's your motherf*%&ing flag pin?
Ignoring that - the bravado about punishing North Korea for selling Nukes is simply that - unless one is willing to risk the quite likely possibility that if they have nukes to sell, they have made a certain amount of effort to safe keep nukes for a second strike.
As Sibel Edmonds as point out - forget about N. Korea when it comes to selling nuclear secrets. Pay attention to a country far closer to home - the United States. We are for Justice and Mercy, and Truth and Peace, and true Freedom. Edward Burroughs 1659
And their narcotics smuggling wouldn't be an issue if we weren't so concerned about policing other people's drug use. We could bankrupt them on that front at a moment's notice by ending just one of our many stupid wars, but I'm in the minority on that sort of thing, unfortunately, while the majority seems content to do the same things over and over expecting different results.
