King Jon Un, the third of the dynasty, who succeeded King Jon I and Kim Jon II (or was it IL?), is a ripe pumpkin, well-fed, in contrast to an impoverished populace, and one who's been a messin' where he shouldn't have been a messin'.
No-one has ever yet threatened to attack America with nuclear missiles.
He's sending out one youtube invective after another promising to blow up America.
Crazy!

leaving all that aside, the current situation is a very dangerous one with a rogue regime fully tooled up and led by a half wit.
what can anyone do to stop an escalation?

North Korea becoming isolated and said its to bomb the USA who said they would return the favour.
South Korea caught up in it all training its staff
A worrying time

By the sounds of the rhetoric, an escalation seems on the cards.
The half-wit may have looked at the Gulf-crisis, and further beyond.
God forbid that the West gets involved in Syria, alienating Russia by so doing, and then something kicked off in the Gulf and the Far East. Because if all that happened, and we had Russia frowning upon us, that would be the end of civilization as we commonly know it.
For starters, gas and oil would become scarce commodities.
So long as we keep out of Syria and remain on good terms with Russia, we'll be playing by standard rules of chess-board survival.

More to it than that, Helen.
In the past, North Korea has attacked South Korean warships, in South Korean waters, killing many sailors. and even an American warship in international waters, taking the crew prisoner.
They might try out some local action on a limited scale, believing they'll get away with it as in the past, but possibly receive a nasty surprise.
Additionally, the half-wit has geared his army up for total war and threatened nuclear strikes on South Korea, which could easily lead the other side to prepare for swift reaction in the case of even a limited N. Korean provocation.
So a limited attack could spill over into a full-scale conflict. In particular because the pumpkin has torn up the 1953 armistice agreements on a cease-fire. Hence, no-one can predict his intentions.
He has made himself appear a very dangerous, unpredictable element on the world scene, which is a recipe for self-destruction if he pulls the trigger even in a limited provocation.

He's put himself between a rock and a hard wall.
The pumpkin might try his hands at a local conflict, to show he can get away with it, but it might become something bigger than he'd banked on.
In the past, the North Korean leadership has promised in an agreement with America to dismantle their nuclear programme, but then broke the agreement and carried on with nuclear development.
It is believed that the North Korean leaders are exporting their nuclear knowledge to other countries too, including Iran.
They must have lost the perception of danger. But after threatening South Korea with a nuclear attack, while promising to continue developing nuclear missiles, and threatening America too, they are on the top of the list, ear-marked.
That's a forgone conclusion.
