Tweeting about North Korea is one of the ways that he can trigger a nuclear reaction. Maybe Kim Jong-un won't be crazy enough to launch a ICBM at the US (but I wouldn't bet on that), maybe he would instead send spies to smuggle a dirty bomb into the US (which is technically a lot easier than launching an ICBM).

When it comes to CBRN, R is cheaper and easier than N, but B is even cheaper and easier. C is cheapest and easiest; it was within reach of a 2000-man organization, 20 years ago (Aum Shinrikyo). IMO if your threat model focuses on N and R, you're doing it wrong.
