No or at least hopefully no (the Juche bubble is the thing that makes North Korea actually going batshit one day a small possibility that does give me pause) -- he's just doing what Dear Old Dad did-- sabre rattle for a pittance because like 50% of his GDP is devoted to defense and there's not really another option (there's no real easy detente here either- he can't shift funds away from defense both ideologically and practically that would risk making the whole house of cards collapse: the former because of decades of conditioning built upon the idea that the outside world poses an dire threat; the latter because even in an authoritarian regime you can't piss off too many elites at once).
