North Korea: A Problem With No Solution -- Colin's Last Stand (Episode 41)

North Korea’s decades-long game of brinkmanship with the United States and its Asian allies is perhaps the world’s biggest international relations conundrum. Run by a nuclear-armed madman, and in close proximity to multiple targets it could obliterate, North Korea gets away with its behavior because there are simply no good solutions in dealing with them. Why? China, Japan, and South Korea, for starters. Colin's Last Stand is free of baked-in ads, product placement, and other obnoxious forms of advertising because of your support.
