Thanks a lot! I'd love to come back to Taiwan and make a bunch of interviews there - a lot to talk about.
Wow, Dominik, your last question was fantastic, and I'm grateful to Ms. Lee for showing us that there's considerable nuance to the topic. She did what almost all of your interviewees do: she raised her eyebrows and said, "That's a great question." Ben Hodges did it two or three times. :-) Your segments are always interesting to listen to because you not only find great people to interview but also prepare yourself well. Thanks for doing what you do!

Thank you for the compliment, glad you enjoyed it!
This was very interesting and informative. Thanks to both of you.
Nice production and content, keep going 👌
Never has anyone talked for so long and not say anything, They signed a security pact but we don;t know what it says. Or it;s possible this could happen but on the other hand... Did she mention she has a podcast?
North korea is a military state. It has been in a state of military mobilization since the end of the korean war. They cannot feed their people, and you think theyre competent on a militarized scale? Your joking right? The same country whos ballastic missles literally crash after every launch because they cannot produce anything with quality? 😂😂😂😂😂

Even though the DPRK military might not be of the finest quality, it still brings scale and volume wich are still an asset in itself. Many times in recent military history, large poorly equipped armies got significant results on the battlefield against better equipped armies. Just think about the Korean War or the Eastern Front during WWII.
