RT: Launching strike on N. Korea possible, but outcome would be uncertain – Putin
A global strike to disarm North Korea would be possible, yet its outcome uncertain, as it is a “closed state,” Russian President Vladimir Putin stated.
“Let us speak to the point, after all – can someone launch a global disarming strike? Indeed. Will it reach its targets? It's unclear because no one knows for sure what is where,” Putin said while addressing the 2017 International Forum on Energy Efficiency on Wednesday.
He added there is no “100 percent knowledge” about North Korea's objects as it is “a closed country.”

He's not wrong. Spy satellites are great, but the consequences of launching a preemptive attack on WMD or other targets and missing even one unknown location are likely unacceptable.
