Kim aint getting any younger and he's the absolute epitome of one who wants to remembered and talked about for a long time to come.

Unstable dictators need to be controlled at all costs, and frankly the UN seem incapable.
He might but i don't anyone else in the NK gov't wants to die with him.

Bottom line: nobody wants to fight North Korea, especially not since they have enough missiles to turn Seoul into a sea of fire, and also do a lot of damage to Japan. China also stands to gain from North Korea remaining a separate country because South Korea is an US ally, in which case reunification = US bases on China's border = very frightening to China from a geopolitical point of view. It's like Russia's fear of US bases in the Caucasus.
ah, no one wants to fight NK not becuase they are afriad of his army or weapon arsenal, which is ill equip and out of date. They are afraid of what happens after they defeat the current NK gov't, who is going to pay the trillions needed to fix that country? you have 10 to 20 million poor illiteral refugees who needs to feed and taught to live in the 21st century. The whole country needs to be rebuilt form scratch.
