A Free North Korea

Following his father’s death and state funeral, Kim Jong-un became the supreme leader of North Korea.  This leadership change presents new issues, challenges, and opportunities.  While Kim Jong-un is concerned with solidifying his power position within North Korea and upholding his family’s name, the United States and South Korea must choose whether to continue the strategy of deterring and placating the Kim regime or to take actual steps to change the increasingly dangerous situation on the peninsula and bring freedom to the people of North Korea.
