While all eyes have been turned on Ukraine and China, a nuclear threat continues on the Korean peninsula and in the last few weeks, tensions have gotten a lot worse. The U.S. called North Korea's accusations that Washington and South Korea have been provoking the North "baloney." Meanwhile Pyongyang has been testing missiles and artillery closer to its border with the South, while Seoul and the U.S. have continued their biggest joint war games in four years. Prolific writer and Cato Institute fellow Doug Bandow joins us on the show today to talk about the potential of Kim Jong Un going nuclear and how the Biden administration has lost all juice for addressing what could be a real military conflagration on China's doorstep.
