Well, cut off the snakes head and all of it’s minions will be leaderless and not so motivated as they will see their empire in shambles.

More likely they flip out, "activate" and go on a rampage of sabotage and assassination.

I mean, even here in the constitutional republic of the United States (as opposed to a totalitarian cult of personality like NK) what do you think would happen in the event of a successful decapitation strike against our leadership? (No jokes about how most of the country would go "Its Miller Time!" please).

There is a difference...those N Korean sleeper cells are motivated by their countries ambtions and corrupt leadership. If that is liquidated, so is the motivation, or most of it.
