Olympic developments aside, tension between the United States and North Korea appears alarmingly high and escalating. Kim Jong Un, authoritarian Supreme Leader of the ‘Hermit Kingdom’, now has nuclear missiles perhaps capable of striking mainland America. And this threat and the vitriol has Americans amped up, aided by (false) inbound missile alarms.
Should the United States resolve this situation through sustained economic and military deterrence, or has the time for a diplomatic solution ended?
Doors open at 5:15pm. Debate begins at 6:00pm.
