North Korea regularly attacks and threatens its neighbours. This includes sinking south Korean warships, shelling inside South Korea, firing missiles into Japanese airspace, kidnapping foreign citizens, all while threatening nuclear obliteration at least once every 4 months. So where does this strange idea that North Korea fears for its survival come from?
It is more likely that North Korea wants everyone to believe that it fears being attacked. After all, it regularly holds military war games of its own. And if the South demanded it stop, would regard that as an unacceptable attack on its national sovereignty. It wants nukes and the ability to threaten, blackmail, and intimidate its neighbours, because it wants aid and credit. And that's the only way it can get it.
So the very last thing the North Korean regime wants is to be left alone to mind its own business. Because it wouldn't survive. It needs aid from the South, Japan, the US, China, and the rest of the world. And the only way to get that is through blackmail.
