Now, by using the UN sanctions, they'll ride it along for the next decades to keep Kim calm, and in the long run the whole problem will fade out some day as the story with Cuba...

The U.S. definitely has not accepted NK as being a nuclear power because it isn't. It has yet not reached the capability of mounting a nuclear warhead on a missile and it has yet the capability of developing a missile that can survive reentry. They will eventually overcome these two problems but it will take another year or two to do so. They don't really have the capability to successfully deliver a nuke to SK though it may be in the realm of possibilities.
