He'd be destroyed for sure, but he'd do a lot of damage as he goes. If he feels backed into a corner, why wouldn't he just take as many people with him as possible?

Smart thing for China to do would be to offer him a cushy life in exile within China and replace.
Agreed.

Sadly, for the sake of the world, we need to let KJU go unpunished.

Let him live out his days in a cushy mansion in China so that he doesn't start lobbing nukes everywhere.

I believe that to be the sanest course of action.

And how would that work out exactly? What would his party do if he tried to pack up and leave? What would his military do? He has their support because he's an important figurehead (by virtue of his bloodline alone) and acts within the interests of those holding him in power.

If KJU tried to "go rogue" (especially if it meant betraying his own country) he'd be dead within a heartbeat. Accidents happen.

Or the government would fall and you’d end up with the humanitarian issues and possibly groups fighting over nuclear weapons.
I'm curious... what would prevent him from something like plastic surgery and fleeing before things get too bad?

I'm just thinking that if I was a remotely rational dictator in his position, that's what I'd do right before 'showing them' and sending off a nuke or two that would probably/possibly lead to the obliteration of my own people.
