We start today's double podcast discussing the current citation developing in Asia with respect to China, Russia, North Korea, Japan, South Korea and the US. It highlights why the US is now seeking to drag North Korea into their tangled web of destabilising the Asia Pacific region not realising the folly of such a decision and how this all goes back to the major international incident that averted 6.5 years ago. We conclude assessing why the timing was critical in the Ukraine war starting and has been part of the US's ongoing flawed attempt to arrest de-dollarisation and the end of US hegemony.
