North Korea does not actually intend to use a nuclear weapon against the United States, since there is nothing that North Korea would actually gain from using it. If North Korea launched a nuclear missile at the United States, it would immediately (1) lose the backing of China, which is the only reason that the United States refuses to invade North Korea, (2) start a hot war with the United States whose army could destroy the North Korean military, and (3) make North Korea a complete international pariah.

North Korea trades on the threat that it will use a nuclear weapon against South Korea, Japan, and the United States in order to get desperately needed aid money and supplies from its enemies. It is nothing more than an extortion racket that North Korea employs as a method overcome the fact that the country makes no product worthy of export other than ginseng (which nobody wants).

The Korean War never ended, so of course North Korea is still trying to fight (and win) it.
