Pathways to Nuclear War with North Korea: The Risks of Catastrophe in 2017 and Tod ay \;

How dangerous was the 2017 nuclear crisis with No rth Korea? \; How did it come about? \; How did the crisis end wit hout war? \; And what are the chances of reliving a crisis of that mag nitude on the Korean Peninsula? \; This talk\, based on the book On th e Brink: Trump\, Kim\, and the Threat of Nuclear War\, will reveal the pat hways to war in 2017\, why summit diplomacy ultimately failed\, and the pr ospects of it all happening again. \; It will argue that while the per sonalized insults and caprice of the 2017 crisis made the Korean Peninsula uniquely combustible\, the structure that made nuclear war possible in th e first place is even more pressurized today than in 2017. \; \;
