Chipping away at the regime and allowing its own internal struggles to rule the day is hand in hand with the deterrence strategy.
Just keep that in mind.
As the regime faces internal threats, they'll have less internal pressure to not launch an attack to unite their people. Keep that in mind.

Despite proclamations, NK is not an irrational actor. They have acted like one would expect in a deterrence arrangement. They also surely know that South Korea has the superior military and allies.
My guess is that up to the bitter end NK would see the threats internally as easier to deal with then attempting to throw a weakened regime into a fight that will all but guarantee their demise.

exactly
trying a coup from the inside without the backing of China/US force will just make Kim more paranoid and more volatile
MUCH worse than using bravado in statements
