North Korea seems to be growing more quickly than most estimates assume.

I think they have a faint hope of pulling a North Vietnam (with Chinese and Russian help) one day, when or if developed economies go through a significant period of stagnation or secession and have their hands tied with more pressing matters.

Their goal is to force the West to have to accept them and eventually come to a more beneficial relationship. And it looks to be working to be honest. There is not real feasible solution here but to compromise with North Korea now and incentivize them to play ball, and that only happens if the Kim dynasty stays and they get several other things that they want.
