The North Korean regime is threatening the United States and South Korea! North Korea claims that it can turn the capital city of Seoul into a "sea of fire" and launch a preemptive nuclear strike on the United States. Experts say that North Korea has expanded its nuclear delivery capability so this declaration may not be mere baseless propaganda. North Korea has called itself a "Small Big State," meaning despite its small size, it is armed with "Great Ideas." This talk examines why this self-claimed "Small Big State" came to embark upon a dangerous game of brinkmanship against the world's biggest powers and what role its "Great Ideas" has come to play in this process.
