It is difficult to parse reality and rhetoric from North Korean propaganda, but Dr. Daniel Pinkston believes they really mean what they say when it comes to realizing a unified Korean peninsula under DPRK rule.
As the two Koreas prepare to meet for the first time in eleven years, Dr. Pinkston warns us not to forget this and other potentially dangerous North Korean objectives.
Dr. Daniel Pinkston is a Lecturer in International Relations at Troy University. Previously, he was the Northeast Asia Deputy Project Director at the International Crisis Group in Seoul and the Director the East Asian Nonproliferation Program at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies.
