Dmitri Alperovitch (@DAlperovitch) talks about nuclear nonproliferation with Jeffrey Lewis (@ArmsControlWonk), Director of East Asia Nonproliferation Project at the Middlebury Institute for International Studies at Monterey.
Topics discussed include:

- 16 years after North Korea first tested a nuclear device, is it time to acknowledge that North Korea is not going to give up its weapons and refocus our diplomatic strategy with them on more achievable objectives?
- And much more...
