Can World War three start in the Indo-Pacific?

from The Global Agora · host Andrej Matisak

North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un recently suffered a public embarrassment. He wanted to show off his new destroyer, but it was damaged. „The destroyer program of North Korea has suffered a setback. But Kim Jong-un has no intention of stopping the development of it,“ Ramon Pacheco Pardo, a Professor of International Relations at King's College London, told me. According to him, it is obvious that the Russian ruler, Vladimir Putin, is helping the DPRK in the military field. And the US and its allies, South Korea, Japan, the Philippines, and Australia, now have to reckon with the fact that if North Korea gets involved in any conflict in the Pacific, Russia can also be part of it. Does it mean that World War three can start in the Indo-Pacific? Listen to our conversation. And if you enjoy what I do, please support me on Ko-fi!
