Pay some attention to the Lisa Ling documentary on North Korea. A frightening look at the deification of Kim Il Sung at first and now of Kim Jong Il.
All actions will be geared towards maintaining that deity status. That is the only thing they are capable of. So whatever they do with the nuclear material will be for that purpose.
The Deity though has his weak point. The ship Pueblo. It is maintained not as a monument to a tactical victory over the US but as a symbol of invincibility. Soon as some cheating can be confirmed, sink the Pueblo without warning.
Then open the next round of talks. Their surrender will be what will really be discussed.
