What could be the possible outcome if north Korea obtained nuclear weapons?

Well north korea already has nuclear weapons, they tested one in late 2012, and the US responded with strict UN sanctions. But the nuclear weapons obtained by the DPRK are very small (around 4 nuclear weapons) and it can only reach to the southern part of Japan so nuclear war seems unlikely at the moment. But they may always use it as a force of diplomatic aggression to force outcomes.
