4/19/17 John Feffer on what North Korea’s Kim Jong Un wants, and how to make a deal with him

John Feffer, co-director of Foreign Policy In Focus and author of the dystopian novel Splinterlands, discusses the lazy thinking among foreign policy pundits who insist North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is either a child or a madman who only understands force and can’t be reasoned with. Feffer attempts to read the despot’s mind to find out what he wants for himself and his country, and thereby determine how the US can use diplomacy instead of missiles to reach a peaceful resolution with the hermit kingdom.
