Christopher Hitchens on putting off confrontation with North Korea:

A lot of lefties dismiss Yiannopoulos as a vile, racist troll. Listen to his defense in that video, though, and the most you can say about him is that he's an asshole, and he knows it, and he doesn't give a damn. Listen, too, as the CNBC anchors try to box him into their preconceived straw-man image of who he is and what he represents, and watch as he outfoxes them at every step, including the one time the anchors think they've caught Yiannopoulos in a contradiction.

The Hitchens video will be more rewarding for people who know little to nothing about the North Korea situation; most of what Hitchens says is common sense and common knowledge to old hands. His conclusion, that something's got to give if we keep delaying significant action against North Korea, is trivially true. That said, it's always good to spend a few minutes with the articulate Hitch, however unhealthy he may look in that video.
