What's the point of low-yield nuclear weapons?  To use them, of course. Elizabeth Warren's plan to end endless war.  How Trump fractured the left by flirting with Korean peace, and why his fake Israel peace plan threatens to do so again.  Chinese imperialism is a thing now.  Also this episode: difficulties of democratizing foreign policy, prediction in international relations, being kind in national security, and...South Korean conscription.
