Flee to russia? The ruskies probably wouldnt welcome him
Flee to china? Chinese will replace him with someone else. However he could strike a deal with china if he steps down and keeps his gold; I heard NK has good amount of good at Kim's disposal;provide he could ship the gold fast enuff to china in case of a coup crisis/yankie invasion and a deal with china. Should it happen,PLA 38th Corp will rush to NK
Use his nukes; That's the image he wants to project. Leave me alone or else
