He is indeed a loose canon. Food for thought.

Although the short term "friendly fire" deaths might be mostly South Koreans, they could end up being considered the lucky ones. The prevailing "westerlies" would inevitably distribute the fallout across the Pacific to the Japanese islands and the North American continent contaminating the air, water, soil, and food supplies. That could potentially result in the population of our entire continent suffering the ravages of radiation sickness for generations. Victory in a nuclear war is almost by definition pyrrhic.

But then the "stable genius" and his retinue might count a Pyrrhic victory as a win.
