"seriously considering" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. There was also no direct attack in 1991, 1992, 1993... all the way up to 2010 when their first nuclear capable missiles were deployed. So as anyone can see the DPRK getting directly attacked or not has nothing to do with having or not having nuclear tipped missiles of dubious reliability. Moreover seeing how they first tested (notice tested, not deployed) their first missiles that are able to hit the US beyond bumfuck nowhere Alaska only late 2017 looks like you're just a cheap liar and there is quite a bit of a difference between 2016 and now.
Fact of the matter is actually existing hardware and capabilities take precedence over your magical thinking. But I guess I should cut you some slack since it's understandable how being only familiar with the latter you might confuse the two.
