That question seems to be the general feelings of the news article I saw on it. NK tends to prefer trying to be unpredictable when it comes to actually attacking things in the past. And actually launching the attack he is posturing would only end poorly for him anyway.

The main uncertainty now is whether or not the current leader is actually capable of realizing his situation. I mean, we all make fun of how he has basically pretended to invent a bunch of stuff and propagandas about how he is some kind of god-king born on a volcano or something, but the sheer level of delusional propaganda going on could very well be masking some actual delusions of his own too.

If he actually is deluded and thinks himself something more than human somehow, or really does believe some of his own propaganda about other countries (i.e. the USA), then the risk of him doing something stupid and against his REAL interests is greater. In which case, he might go through with it, or attempt to use it as a "feint" to instead launch a missile at DC due to likely not really understanding how our government and/or defenses work (we might be able to shoot it down, and even if his missile is actually accurate enough to hit DC after getting past defenses, it won't destroy the government enough to prevent retaliation even if Trump refrains from launching our own missiles in response before it reaches DC).
