Title: Is North Korea Really Serious?
Topic: North Korea

Discussed by Dr. Paul Bonicelli
with Regent University (www.Regent.edu)

North Korea’s young leader, Kim Jong-un, is either really intelligent or really stupid. And we don’t really want to wait around to see which one he is.

Dr. Paul Bonicelli is an expert on foreign policy and served under President George W. Bush at the US Agency for International Development. He is currently the Executive Vice President of Regent University in Virginia Beach.

Dr. Bonicelli has stated that, “In the past, the goal of the North’s leaders was simply to play a game they always win: extort food and other types of aid from Washington and Seoul by threatening to act very badly. But this time, it appears different, and it might actually be different because Kim Jong-un is one of the most inexperienced rulers of the modern era and definitely the most inexperienced to have nuclear capabilities.”

So what does America do? How should we respond to Kim’s threats?
