RE: China on North Korea: Where Does Our "Ally" Stand?
Upvoted and followed. This is the one conflict zone I need more and more sources for. I do a weekly podcast on war and geopolitics.
I agree with you on Mattis. He's a hawk on Iran, but overall an adult. And he's a Democrat, so the left going over him just shows their cards.
China might be an ally, but in terms of the Korean region and surrounding seas, they are the USG number one competitor.
Can you link your podcast? I'd love to give it a listen.
What irritates me is people looking at complex geopolitical relationships as a binary function. We are not binary allies with anybody, whether it be the UK or China. We are allies with China over most trade, but not human rights, South China Sea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, etc. We are allies with UK on trade, some war, etc, but not immigration.
Relationships on the geopolitical spectrum are not binary.

I'll be catching up on it all this week! Thanks so much!
Some are better than others. Talking to yourself out-loud while being recorded is a skill I am still developing.
