There is no possible scenario that sees this continual outbursts of irrational claims and threats from North Korea's leader continuing indefinitely.China doesn't want a war on its borders, nor do they want the residual effects from a possible use of nuclear weapons by North Korea.. If North Korea ends up in shambles, China would be unable to contain the mass migration of hundreds of thousands of North Koreans into China. In almost every way you look at it, North Korea is China's problem, and it seems likely that China will be the one to fix it. Odds are high that Kim's life gets shorter with each new outburst and threats.
