YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPeter Van Buren returns to the show to discuss the mistaken perception of Trump as a so-called "mad man." Van Buren argues that the Trump presidency has so far reflected the status quo—and not some radical break that people have feared and dramatically declared. Van Buren then turns to the Korean diplomatic steps that Donald Trump and the South Koreans have taken towards engaging North Korea in peace talks. Van Buren compares Trump's diplomacy with North Korea to Nixon's approach to China and explains why he's "frighteningly optimistic" about the developments in Korea. Van Buren explains why he thinks de-nuclearization is a straw man, but that the diplomatic openings between North and South Korea and the United States are historic. Buren then explains why Kim Jung-Un's western education should give us considerable hope for diplomacy. Finally, Scott and Van Buren turn their attention to Syria and how it fits into the larger geopolitical picture.
