1/18/24 Tim Shorrock on the Dangerous and Avoidable Escalations with North Korea

Tim Shorrock joined Scott on Antiwar Radio this week to discuss North Korea. Although the news has been dominated by Israel and Ukraine, tensions have been rising on the Korean peninsula as well — especially as Biden has worked towards remilitarizing Japan. Shorrock and Scott discuss what’s happening, look at how close we got to a deal under Trump and revisit why this is all George W. Bush’s fault. Discussed on the show: “An Open Letter to Independent Lens about ‘Beyond Utopia’” (Medium) Tim Shorrock is the author of Spies For Hire: The Secret World of Intelligence Outsourcing and a regular contributor to The Nation and the Korea Center for Investigative Reporting.
