Summary: Kim Jong-un's regime poses a significant threat to South Korea and global stability, but understanding his fears could benefit the ROK-U.S. alliance. Kim's primary fears include assassination or coup by close aides, preemptive strikes on his nuclear capabilities, the influx of outside information, exposure of his and his family's faults, the impact of reform and opening up, and the ultimate collapse of his regime.

-These fears can be exploited through psychological warfare to instill doubt among North Korean elites and military officers, spread information highlighting the disparity between North and South Korea, and emphasize the disgraceful ends of other dictators.

-A concerted information campaign could weaken Kim's grip on power, ultimately leading to regime change and a unified Korea.

Kim is a pawn of China to be a thorn to America and the west in general. In short, he's China's dog that barks on command.

China uses North Korea to distract and deflect attention from themselves.

... nevermind the South China Sea.  Look!  North Korea just launched a missile over Japan!  (Look away Yankee imperialist dogs.)
