Episode Details

For 76 years, the United States has controlled South Korea’s military, and it still refuses to give it back. Regular guest K.J. Noh joins me to explain how Washington is preparing South Korea to be its Ukraine against China, even as South Koreans push back and President Lee Jae-myung moves to reclaim his army. We also discuss North Korea’s hard-won nuclear deterrent, and why US faith in “usable” nukes brings the world closer to the threshold.
