Learn to read. I said I 've never once, NOT considered South Korea's perspective. (Basically it means I've been considering the SK perspective the whole time)

The appeasement question is not that straight forward. We can't predict NK's actions if appeasement is given. Certainly NK has gone back on it's word in the past just like Nazi Germany when the League of Nations appeased it.

Non-appeasement is more predictable and it contains to an extent NK

A decisive military victory over NK will actually save North Korean lives in the long term. But I don't believe a pre-emptive strike on the grounds of humanitarian reasons alone is practical so I don't know why you brought it up.
