He seems to care very little about the people in his country, only for his own power. I think that military reforms are all that we could hope for with diplomatic efforts. We might be able to convince him to dismanlte some of his army or his nuclear weapons programs.
Of course if the economy would completely implode in NK, that would be great.
Loss of control over its populace would be the ultimate sacrifice for the North. The big issue is whether or not this happens in a constructive way (as the Chinese government has withdrawn from day to day affairs of its populace since the 1980s) or the opposite.
