Inside the Story of America’s Failure to Disarm North Korea
In this episode of the Diplomat's Asia geopolitics podcast, hosts Ankit Panda (@nktpnd) and Katie Putz (@LadyPutz) welcome Joel Wit, a distinguished fellow at the Stimson Center, to the show to discuss his book “Fallout: The Inside Story of America's Failure to Disarm North Korea” and the complexities surrounding the United States’ efforts, over decades, to forestall the development of North Korea's nuclear program. The conversation delves into the book’s revelations, the changing geopolitical landscape, the historical context of North Korea's nuclear ambitions, and the shaping of U.S. foreign policy. Wit emphasizes the need for new strategies in dealing with North Korea, given the current geopolitical realities and the challenges posed by Kim Jong Un’s regime.
