You are misreading that sentence of my post entirely.

He is a speck. His actions will not bring about an iota of difference, except the heartbreak he is bringing upon his friends and family (and taking food from the mouth of some starving North Korean). Thus my WW2 analogy (which I still believe is accurate).

My point is that to dislodge the regime would involve either an internal collapse, forceful change from without, or a violent coup. In any case their is justified fear that the last act of the departing Dear Leader would be to release his stockpile of weapons on his neighbors.

Because of this fear, the US, SK, Japan, China, Russia, etc have a policy of NOT wanting regime change. They will just keep negotiating in the vain hope they will revert to the 1990's status quo.

Probably the best case here is a swift and relatively bloodless military coup after the Dear Leaders death, followed by a China style mellowing into a capitalist/socialist style authoritarian state.
