 Of course left-wing voters consider NK a threat. They have been testing nuclear bombs for years. Unlike the huge mistake in Iraq, there is actual proof those weapons exist.

However, it is very important to look at who is the bigger threat to America - North Korea or ISIS. Numbers tell me it is obviously ISIS, so I would go to war against them first.

ISIS excels at small scale, individual terror attacks. As an organized military force, they are rather unimpressive when you look at their list of accomplishments (congratulations, you've won a patch of sand with no value that no one wanted anyway). There aren't enough of them running around to stage any kind of real, mass casualty level threat to the United States.

North Korea, on the other hand, has nukes, and their missile guidance system has improved to the point that they can go from targeting a patch of ocean to a specific whale pod. Once they have a warhead capable of reentry, they become an immediate threat to the mainland United States, capable of annihilating an entire city with one shot. That's the guy you take down first.
