Little Kim has around 4 nuclear warheads so nothing the current anti missile defence technologies cannot cope with really.
End of the day there is no point in trading meaningless words and Sabre rattles with North Korea which amounts to nothing more than hyperbole.
If NK are stupid enough to launch an attack against Guam or anywhere else for that matter there failure and destruction is pretty much guaranteed there and then, or very soon after.
Pretty much a given really that if they are do launch such an attack that there capital of Pyongyang will be destroyed soon after along with there mobile ICBM launchers and air defence network.
But lets hope cooler heads prevail because nobody really wishes to contend with another Nagasaki or Hiroshima.

If we in the west wear the mantle of humanitarianism...perhaps it's time to commit to the definition...Aren't we responsible for causing death and dearth if we starve a people in an effort to starve a regime...?

The top will not starve, the people will.
What might work better is carpet bombing all areas with things like food (with messages of welcome from the US) ipads with proxys to get net, etc...give the people the power and let them see how the outside world really is. That would have a much greater impact than any food sanctions that will simply starve the people more and give more weight to dear leaders words on how he is fighting the world to protect them.
