Could the belligerence of North Korea – enigma, dynastic
dictatorship, nuclear-armed regional menace – be coming to a
violent head? Leader Kim Jong Un has torn up his country’s
long-cherished goal of reunifying with the South; is ordering
provocative missile launches; and ratcheting up tensions with the
United States. Could he take the final step into war? Gavin Esler
talks to DPRK expert and nuclear analyst Rachel Minyoung Lee and
Seoul-based journalist and NKnews.org founder Chad O’Carroll about
the road to North Korea’s new aggression, its increasingly cosy
relationships with Putin and China… and what Kim really wants.
• “In a crowded field of human rights abusers, North Korea is
regarded as the worst.” – Gavin Esler • “Times could not
be better for North Korea… Ukraine showed them that the US
will not engage another nuclear power on the battlefield.”
– Rachel Minyoung Lee • “Korea is the ultimate dictatorship.
It learned from the fall of socialism and other totalitarian
systems how to deal with that risk.” – Chad O’Carroll Support
