Crippling the entirety of North Korea's offensive again Seoul would be impossible unless a strategic missile defense could be done. We do have some capability to do so, but seriously it's impractical if it's against a nuclear weapon at low altitude and at high altitude you then have to worry about the Compton Effect (the electromagnetic pulse that destroys and fries any electronics it meets up with). You would literally have to plan a mission ahead of time and destroy any launch platforms and bases they have for these weapons.
The problem of a war between North and South against is this... the North will lose regardless and they literally will have nothing to rebuild with after the war. The South would be easily rebuilt and restructured after a war by it's neighbors and allies, and there's no way the U.S. and other allies of them would allow North Korea to take over the South.
Plus you have to figure one strategic player in the game that has been silent all this time. Japan. Even though Japan has only a Self-Defense Military Force, Japan at any time could take a stake in this as North Korea has been hostile with them as well and put the Self-Defense forces to work in the promotion of defense of Japanese interests which their constitution does allow for. Add in the U.S. and other friendly nations and North Korea won't have a chance in Hell at victory.
Plus I seriously have skepticism about the effectiveness of any Nuclear armament deployed by North Korea. Who's to say they might goof up due to human error, some disgruntled personnel, and end up nuking themselves if not Pyongyang? North Korea would be brash and arrogant enough to launch a nuke directly from Pyongyang. All it would take would be someone on the inside to level Pyongyang while the Kim's sit back watching their American movies and drinking their tea unaware and careless.
