The punchline is either shoot him or shut up as the little fat guy isn't that interesting.
There's so much foreign policy and diplomacy in North Korea and a squillion troops have stared at each other across the DMZ for sixty to seventy years. None of it ever did anything except for troops who stare at each other and sometimes with a little military drama to make you think they really are doing something.
But it all comes down to a little fat guy who has a palace and he ain't goin' to give it up. He'll send every North Korean except himself to get killed to keep that palace.
So you have three choices
1) You can keep a squillion troops over there to stare each other down for another sixty or seventy years.
2) You can kill everyone in North Korea and then finally kill him.
3) You can smart bomb the palace and croak him from space. Without Fearless Leader, they fall apart ... but ... you have a bigger problem in that now you have to replace him with something.
You can't make a deal with him as any merge with South Korea means the King gives up the palace. Ain't going to happen.
As with East Germany, nothing is going to happen until the people make it happen and then it's unstoppable. So the Silas hope is all this war talk backs off in favor of supporting the people who will topple him. If you really want to piss him off, don't bomb the cities but rather drop leaflets to the people in them: set yourself free.
(Ed: Christmas?)
Ultimately they will. They always do.
