As to LBJ, I may or may not be wrong.  I wasn't alive then and I really don't want to think much about a third rate president who died before I was even born.  That being said you are right in that Kim won't negotiate regardless the amount of pain, which is why the only solution is the absolute and utter destruction of North Korea and Korean Unification.

In many ways it is time to finish unfinished business.

First, game theory is just that, theory.  It applies where it does, and doesn't in this case.  

Second, you are pretty free with taking risks that others might suffer.  We're still safe here in our distant continent, but the South Koreans and Japanese, not so much.
