North Korea: What would you do if you were President Obama?

If I were President Obama and I had the opportunity to address the situation in North Korea I would  work on three main problems; human rights issues, the nuclear weapon development and Kim Jong Un.  Even though these three issues are complex, they connect to each other directly. By addressing Kim Jong Un, the solutions for the two other issues would be resolved aswell. Without Kim Jong Un's dictatorship, their would be not nuclear weapons nor human rights issues. If I were Obama, I would create a peace treaty with not only North Korea, but also with South Korea, China and Russia. The reason why I chose these three nations is because South Korea is being directly affected by the North and China and Russia are strong nations with Veto power in the United Nations Security Council. This treaty would state that the United States would like to extent peace to North Korea in exchange for dismantling their nuclear program. If they were to refuse this offer and or break the treaty, the United States would not hesitate to attack North Korea. Due to the United States and their powerful army/nuclear weapons, I have no doubts that they would loose this battle. Of course this plan of action would be our last resort. By having China and Russia sign onto this treaty, it would mean that two of the strongest nations in not only the middle east but in the world could help to monitor the activity taking place in North Korea. I am aware that China has chosen to not intervene in order to maintain their high economic status in the east, but just by helping to cease North Korea's nuclear development, their economy status would not be in jeopardy.
