Well, the danger is not zero, but the outcome is rather certain. The only issue restraining action at present is China. However, China has no present attachment to them either, except as a buffer state. For China, the real issue is US forces in SK represent a first strike threat, much like Jupiter missles did to Kruschev, or, for that matter, Russian missles in Cuba. If the US offered China a deal for a demilitarized Korea after "unification", I think the NK "problem" could likely disappear within days...
