OK then. While practically US and DPRK are at peace technically they are at war.

Well, I don't agree with that. I believe only 1948 was self defence, 1967 had elements of self defence, 1973 was about territories from which Israel should withdraw anyway (same as 1991 war with Iraq) while 1956 and 1982 were wars of choice

Depends. IMO Arab nukes would bring stability to region and provide some sort of deterrant for Israel. So less wars and less agressive policy on both sides.
