Kim Jong Un Forever?

Why will North Korea’s strong man dictator Kim Jong Un will never permit any sort of coorperation with South Korea or inspection of his country by outsiders? It's all about the consequences of exposure.  Many of his sins are hidden because of total news blackouts. 

His master state, China, may be aware of many of his sins, but for them it becomes a conviction by proxy should the sins become known. Thus Kim is indirectly protected.  Both China and Russia (thought to be Kim’s supplier of rocket engines) are aware and dread the day Kim is exposed.  Such is Kim’s buffer.

Kim’s sins and secrets:

• Nuclear weapons – the open sin
• Offensive ICBM and other missiles – the delivery vehicles of choice
• Weapons export – to Iran and elsewhere
• Radiological contamination – almost a certain consequence of nuclear testing*
• Biological testing – e.g. possible Anthrax experimentation*
• Slavery – export of his own to forced labor in China and other countries
• Torture – of prisoners, e.g. Warmbier
• Cyber warfare – the Wannacry virus*
• Starvation – of his current population
• Assasination – e.g. half-brother Kim Jong Nam, uncle, and other inner circle members

*Suspected but not precisely verified

All these put Kim near the top of rogue dictators of all time.  Would this flatter him? Maybe.

The problem faced by the President and the world is what to do about Kim when he holds many at bay by threats of mass destruction, and others by the possible consequences of forcefully terminating his regime.  The only solution I see is that he is internally assassinated with the survivors claiming he was the sole perpetrator and offering promises of review, restraint, reduction, and recompense. This is the only hope for the citizens of NOKO.
