The North Korean people start to go hungry then starve the fear of getting shot by your own army is not so bad because your going tobe day 3 months anyway as starvation kicks in if you get a bullet in your head or bayonetted in the neck you've no worry's any more your dead.

That is indeed a real risk. KJU is trying to change his economy, but he can't prop it up forever. I think that if it looked as though something like that was going to happen then the PRC might step in with emergency food aid. The ROK is already looking to send humanitarian aid to the North, because a collapse or revolution in the DPRK is not the rosy ending we in the west think it might be.

also they maybe a coup by his Generals or theres that much unrest that the country desends into anarchy a North Korean Civil war so to speak and the pesants are climbing over the walls of his palace to get to him to string him up wouldn't China or the UN be forced to get involved because as the DPRK Collapsese China and the free world would not want a scenario where Kim Il Sung orders a nuke strike on Guam Japan and Usa if I'm going to die ill take the world into the abyss with me

Well, Kim Il Sung is already dead, so I wouldn't worry too much about him, but his grandson might decide to launch everything if his government is about to collapse, yes, he might do the same if China and the UN send forces in as well.

Perhaps, but not so much for China since Beijing will have a large radioactive hole in it.
I think people need to realise that it's not in our interest to remove Kim Jong-un, because in the act of removing him we risk setting off a nuclear war. Be it through military action, or through starving the DPRK until a popular uprising occurs. Instability and nuclear weapons, particularly nuclear ICBMs are not a good mix, remember how nervous people were during the Yeltsin years about Russian nuclear weapons going walkabout? Do we really want to create such a situation in Korea?
