Does Kim believe he can denuclearize without suffering the same fate?
Hopefully. And it's not just him, it's his ruling elite. Hard to imagine that there aren't any dissenting hard liners, that there isn't a power struggle. Enough of them must become convinced that it would be in their interest. Not that they deserve any benefits, but - at least, they'd be making a huge step in the interests of their people. Moreover, as always, a peace with a few questions marks is better than a good war.

Speaking of which.... it appears that South Koreans want no part of any war. They'd be suffering the most, and they're against it. They'd rather take the slow train towards reconciliation. This must play a huge role in the entire dynamic. Paradoxically, that's one more reason for Kim and his bosses to trust the process. They'll have to dump their ultra orthodox communism... but if the Chinese could do it, so can they.
