#1 for some reason, the "General Franco is still dead" skit comes to mind whenever "North Korean Collapse imminent" type stories come up.

The suspense is wearisome. Would that they would just get it over with already.

#2 So will it be blamed on W, or on Trumps' rhettoric when North Korea collapses?

#3 Gonna be blamed on Trump, of course. The narrative will be something like "Poor little Kim Jong Un was just walking to the store to get some Skittles & lemmonade, and the Evil Capitalist Trump ambushed & regime changed him!!! OMGWTFBBQ!!! No blood for Kimchee!!!11!eleventy!!"

#4 Ain't gonna happen. Last thing China wants is a collapsiffied NKor, with all the chaos ending up on their doorstep. Better to keep the mad little pitbull of a country around to terrify the neighbors.

If it all gets too crazy, the ChiComs can always instigate a little regime change. I bet they even have their NKor generals already picked out.

#5 Got it in one. Barring a "black swan" this is the most likely end.
