It certainly appears that the North Koreans are worried about losing ideological control over the population, but I don't think that implies in any way that a public order collapse is imminent.

It is, however, an encouraging development. I still think that the North Korean population is inecapable of overthrowing that government, and this may, in fact, be even worse news for them. The government is likely to crack down even harder.

While it is good to see perhaps a sliver of truth appearing in the general population thoughts, I have to wonder just how much idelogical control does the Party still have over its soldiers and military officers?

If the military cannot be converted, US relations to North Korea will have a new element added to the current distrust... one of pitty.
