Donald Kirk

Happy 65th anniversary

Remember those initials UNC/MAC and NNSC for United Nations Command/Military Armistice Commission and Neutral Nations Supervisory Commission? It's difficult to believe these terms still exist 65 years after the signing of the truce that ended the Korean War on July 27, 1953.

Exploiting GI bones

The North Koreans are reluctant to talk about “denuclearization” but are winning easy points exploiting the bones of about 5,300 Americans still missing from the Korean War.

Covering Kim's bills in Singapore

The most controversial topic surrounding next Tuesday's Trump-Kim summit is probably not denuclearization or human rights.
