Flawed US weapon sale pitch
During his recent visit to Korea, U.S. President Donald Trump boasted that U.S. weapons are the world’s best and he had Korea ordering them worth billions of dollars. There are two questions as to his boast: 1) Did he take credit for the deals made by somebody else? 2) Are U.S. weapons the best in the world? While his predecessor Obama was in power, Korea had ordered 40 Joint...

Trump had us for now
Korea heaved a sigh of relief after U.S. President Donald Trump finished his two-day visit and moved on to China, the next stop of his Asian tour. President Trump was supposed to be a loose cannon, verbally as well as physically. He arm-wrestled French President Macron and gave an awkward jerking handshake to Japanese Prime Minister Abe. Remember German Chancellor Angela Merk...

[Roundtable] Does Trump's destiny clash with Korea's? It does
U.S. President Trump has one mission - constructive disruption. This Schumpeterian work is composed of domestic and international parts - although the results are closely intertwined. The first is manifested in the “Drain the swamp” or “deconstruction of the administrative state.”

We won't, shouldn't forget
Recently, I had a roundtable discussion with a group of journalists and experts. Toward the middle of our discussion, we digressed from our main topic and talked for a while about the issues of comfort women, mainly Korean and Chinese girls forced to serve as sex slaves for Japanese colonial soldiers. This diversion started when one participant said off the cuff the current M...

Was Trump had?
The United Nations passed a resolution to cut oil supplies to North Korea by 30 percent, Sept. 12, a week after the North conducted its sixth and largest nuclear test. The United States did cajole and coerce China and Russia for an outright oil embargo but settled for a cap on oil exports for fear of a veto of the resolution. Five days later on Sept. 17, U.S. President Donald...

Didn't North Korea know of B1-B flight?
The United States tried to validate its insistence on having a military option in dealing with North Korea last month by flying two B1-B strategic bombers along the East Coast of North Korea. These bombers had flown farthest to the north of the inter-Korean border by any allied aircraft in the 21st century, the Trump administration said, although their nocturnal flight path w...

North Korea's winning strategies
I don’t completely buy into the idea that North Korea is capable of taking the bigger and stronger South Korea, whether it has nuclear weapons or not. Certainly, the North has gained new asymmetric power that affects the current balance of power. So Kim Jong-un, its leader, may feel tempted to polish up the plan for communizing the South, an idea that has long been put in mot...

In defense of Han Kang
Our columnist Andrew Salmon drew first blood when he fisked Man Booker award winner Han Kang’s op-ed contribution to the New York Times, entitled “When the U.S. talks about war, South Korea shudders,” an anti-war piece about a critical situation caused by the U.S.-North Korean war of words. Salmon claimed Han unfairly blames the U.S. for the ongoing crisis due to her lack of ...
