Episode Description
Kim Jong Un has ruled North Korea with an iron fist since taking power in 2011. But if the dictator died tomorrow, what would happen? Would North Koreans finally taste freedom? Who’s in charge of the nuclear codes? And could his 13-year-old daughter Kim Ju Ae really be next in line to rule one of the world’s most dangerous regimes? Journalist, foreign affairs analyst, and author of The Great Successor: The Secret Rise and Rule of Kim Jong Un Anna Fifield joins Seth Thévos to discuss succession scenarios and where the country – and world – might stand.
