The Relevance of North Korea in Today's Global Dynamic; Kim Jong-un's Struggle for Attention (Global Connections - recorded on 2/27/2025). The host for this show was Jay Fidell. The guest was Carl Baker.

The discussion was: There is so much going on in the world day, and the threat from North Korea seems almost quiet. Carl Baker, senior advisor to Pacific Forum, helps us understand what is going on in North Korea these days and its relevance in today's extraordinary global dynamic. What does the political trouble in South Korea mean to North Korea. How is its economy doing. What are its current issues with China. Is its political suppression sustainable. Is Trump paying attention to North Korea and Kim Jong-un. What changes can we expect going forward.

The takeaway was: North Korea is a rogue state, so we must always follow its moves and threats to Asia and beyond.
