Colin's Last Stand, Episode 41: North Korea: A Problem With No Solution

That's a fascinating idea for a video. Great idea. :)

I agree, he is by FAAAAR the best history, political science, and current events teacher I've ever had. Amazing video as usual. I'm so incredibly glad that you're still out here sharing the knowledge. I've always hated politics and especially history, but as I've always thought.....anyone can learn and love anything if they have the right teacher. You've got a 37 year old (allegedly lol) student that's hungry for more. Thank you.

Lou & Rei Loper

Great idea. I'll make note.

I feel like with the North Korea situation continuing to unfold, it would be interesting for you to make a CLS video on what would happen AFTER we (US and Allies) take them down. What would the recovery look like?

I fear that we're ultimately going to have to bite the bullet and attack them, possibly when the CIA gets official word that their ICBMs can reach the west coast. And then we'll see where the chips fall. It's not gonna be good.

Colin Moriarty

It's so horrendous. LOL.

Colin Moriarty

Thank you. That's really kind of you to say.

Colin Moriarty

Thank you. That means a lot to me. That's what I want people to feel like here: That they get value.

Colin Moriarty

That's one of the few NK books I've not yet read. And I've read a lot!

Colin Moriarty

Thanks ma!

Glad you liked it! You want a video on Flock of Seagulls?

North Korea is fascinating. There truly doesn't seem to be an answer to the situation that doesn't end up in catastrophe. Do you have any opinions or ideas on how to deal with it? I get that China, for many reasons, keeps them a float but North Korea's ever escalating fuckery has also be nerve racking to China as well, right? What about Chinas reputation and honor as well? Like in any relationship the other parties actions speak loudly on you as well. Or they just don't care? I don't know. Thanks for another great episode Colin, have a great weekend.

That dudes haircut has really taken off here in the US.

This might be my favorite episode yet! Answering one, simple, specific question from a number of angles made for an incredibly clear and informative video. Colin continues to be one of the greatest teachers I've ever had.

Awesome episode Colin! Sound and video improvements have worked out great, can't wait for the merch and the podcasts! You are returning awesome value for your patrons, keep up the great work!

Excellent video - rich with geopolitical constraints to handling the situation and very informative. Recommend Escape from Camp 14 - a biography of a North Korean refugee born in one of the many prison camps in NK. Quick read and highlights some of that brainwashing and hermit kingdom culture CLS mentioned.

Great video. They always help me gain knowledge as well as keep things in perspective

Colin great video! The only point of contention I had is that China is now pronounced "Gina" or the sometimes appropriate "Gyyyyyyyyyyyna" 😂😂😂

Christopher Lee

Really good! Can't wait for my Iran video next ;)

Thanks! The last NK video was very wide; I wanted this one to be narrower.

Colin Moriarty

Thank you!

Another great video.

Terrific video and great follow-up to Earlier north Korean episode. I enjoyed how straight-forward it was, explaining the situation then the complications, of why its a political cul-de-sac. Like many political problems, it seems that this one will continue to go on and on throughout our lifetimes.
