Just another Korea-US summit
WASHINGTON - The flurry of rhetoric from Pyongyang, Seoul and Washington bears out one of the great verities of the perpetual North-South Korean confrontation: the more things change, the more they stay the same. Or, more simply, same-old, same-old.

Afghanistan and South Korea
WASHINGTON - The impending withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan carries significant implications for Korea. No one surrounding President Joe Biden is talking about pulling America's 28,500 troops from South Korea, or even cutting the numbers down somewhat, but you have to wonder if that thought is on their minds.The reasoning is sim

First Suga, then Moon
WASHINGTON - U.S. policymakers are doing a delicate dance with their counterparts in Tokyo and Seoul. On April 16, Japan's Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga will call on President Joe Biden at the White House, and South Korean President Moon Jae-in should be next in line. For the Americans, the challenge is to persuade them to bury their differences for the sake of trilateral cooperation against China and North Korea.

Mass killings, big and small
Stop the horror. Those are the first words that come to mind when we think of the latest two mass shootings in the U.S. in recent days and then North Korea's first missile tests of the Biden presidency.

Playing games with war games
South Korea is putting out one the crazier pleas in the history of warfare. They're saying to the North Koreans, in effect, please don't mind if we play war games with your enemy the Americans, no hard feelings, doesn't mean a thing, they're making us do it.

Historic scoop, March 1, 1919

Games of war and peace
PYEONGTAEK - U.S. soldiers pour out of the walk-in gate of Camp Humphreys on a weekend afternoon, strolling by bars and restaurants, tailor shops and souvenir stands, breathing in the atmosphere after constraints are lifted and “the ville,” as GI's have been calling the strip for years, is open again for fun and games.

Protests from right to left
The great divide in the U.S. between far right and far left parallels debates around the world between political and ideological extremes, but there's one big difference. The main provocateur of the most violent protest in the U.S. remains at large if still under fire.

Lessons of coup
The renaissance of undisguised military rule in Myanmar should provide inspiration for Donald Trump. The generals who jailed democracy crusader Aung San Suu Kyi and her cohorts are raising the same claims about Myanmar's parliamentary elections in November that Trump has been charging in U.S. elections held around the same time. Having won only 33 of 476 seats for their candidates against 396 for Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy, they say the voting was rigged, the count was fraudulent and they want to look at the voting rolls.

COVID-19's sad anniversary
An important anniversary has slipped by. It was in January 2020, while visiting Hong Kong for a few days, that I started seeing stories about a strange new virus diagnosed in the industrial Chinese city of Wuhan. The first headlines didn't seem like a big deal. Some "experts" were saying the virus had been found in Wuhan and nowhere else.
