I liked James Lileks' suggestion:
Why not nuke North Korea's nuke test? They've said they're going to have a test; I presume we know where that will be. So we nuke it the day before. There's a big explosion, a mushroom cloud; they blame us. We say "what are you talking about? You said you were going to light one off. And you did." "No! You did it!" "Right. We nuked your nuke test. And that makes sense . . . *how*, exactly?" It would certainly keep them off their game. And just after we nuke the test - and every subsequent test, of course - we put a call to Li'l Kim's cellphone, and someone with a Texas accent says "oh, I'm sorry, wrong number. I was tryin' to reach a *live* man".
