Yup, NK is starving, Their position is such that trading a nuke for a barrel of oil and a side of beef looks good.
Personally, I think the bigger danger is to Japan or South Korea. The north leadership is genuinely bonkers, IMO. I could see them thinking that going out in "a blaze of glory" would be a fitting demise, so long as they took SK or Japan with them.
You know who this is an opportunity for? Russia. Russia goes in, wipes NK from the face of the earth, and suddenly Russia goes from memories of the USSR to genuine superpower again, overnight.
