I saw an opinion that the North Korean leader has not been seen about too much lately because he has a firm grip on power. Here is an article which proposes another theory.
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un seems to feel “extremely nervous” about the allies’ possible clandestine operation to eliminate him, South Korea’s intelligence agency told lawmakers Thursday.

Due to concerns over potential airstrikes and assassination attempts, the young tyrant prefers to move at dawn and uses his subordinates’ cars, such as a Lexus car, not his own Mercedes-Benz 600, the National Intelligence Services told a closed-door parliamentary session, according to Rep. Lee Cheol-woo of the main opposition Liberty Party of Korea, who attended the meeting.

South Korea and the US are seeking to establish a special forces team to take out Pyongyang’s leadership in the event of a contingency. Scheduled to be created by the end of this year, the unit will be tasked with eliminating Kim and paralyzing the North’s command and control system.

“Kim is so engrossed with collecting information about the ‘decapitation operation’ through his intelligence agency,” said Lee, referring to the title of the clandenstie operation targeting Kim.

Nervousness is never a good thing with the button at his disposal. Worse yet if it's true what if it is growing paranoia.

Agree with you completely. This is why I don't like the new approach my the White House. It is one thing to ramp things up to actually attack but if you are just going to increase tensions is a misguided attempt at diplomacy...you are just making things worse. And who knows maybe that's the plan? A North Korean first attack would need no casus belli.
 
I think it's safe to say there will be more "cleanses" of Kim's inner circles.
There has been talk of disgruntled generals and officials throughout the North Korean government for some time.

My fear currently is we've done this and not anticipated they would only ramp it up more ignoring everyone. I said in earlier post we need to find a way to drive a wedge between DPRK and PRC. Something that would make them really want to see a change. Maybe that is the plan provoke Kim to become even more unpredictable to the point PRC know longer trust him to just keep the status quo. It is no more in PRC benifit to see even a conventional war with SK. Trade with them is too important I would think plus the refugee disaster.

THe problem with that idea is that it would only expand the North's targeting towards China as well as the West. Kim's arsenal can go West as well as East. The Chinese know that as well. Such an approach also assumes the Russians who border the North would let that happen.
