The US and Korea: where we stand
Events over the weekend may turn out to be game-changers for America’s relationship with North Korea. The U.S. and South Korea engaged in quickly-assembled military exercises to show their ability to respond to aggression from Pyonyang. Meanwhile, cables from the latest WikiLeaks release describe a disturbing chumminess between North Korea and Iran.
Military strategist retired Colonel Sam Gardiner joins us to talk about the latest developments on the Korean peninsula. Also joining the show from Seoul, South Korea is Chris Hogg, BBC correspondent.
