Multilateral diplomacy: wild card with caveats for Seoul
Multilateral diplomacy has been in full swing for the new government of South Korea since right after the inauguration of President Yoon Suk-yeol four months ago. Most recently it culminated in the United Nations summit in New York, home to the most universally multilateral institution. This fall will see the upcoming G-20 summit in Indonesia and the APEC (Asia-Pacific Econom...

Earth getting hotter, people getting sicker
Last April, the publication Nature published some notable research. Due to climate change, animals are traveling outside of their original habitats more frequently, which is expected to create 123,000 new contacts with different species and 4,600 cases of pathogen sharing among mammals by 2070. In other words, as the Earth gets hotter, more animals come into contact with each...

Playing with fire
It's getting harder all the time to think that Kim Jong-un is just play-acting when he rams through a law saying North Korea can unleash a nuclear warhead whenever he feels threatened. And it's also getting harder to assume the Americans and South Koreans will never translate the lessons of their own war games into real live action.

Putin's path to self-destruction
With each day's passing, it becomes increasingly obvious that Russia can never win its war with Ukraine. Vladimir Putin has caused the death or injury of over 100,000 young Russians and has spent nearly $70 billion in the execution of this unjust war. The notion that Russia held tight control over global energy and grain markets has also proved to be a fiction. Much of the wo...

Iran rocked by protests; world watches politely
Massive and spreading protests have rocked Iran in the wake of widening social discontent following the death of a young woman while in police custody. Her crime? Not wearing the obligatory headscarf properly. Demonstrations across the country have jolted the Islamic Republic to its core as thousands of women publicly and provocatively remove and then burn their headscarves, ...

Nuclear brinkmanship
North Korea's recent declaration that it would remain a nuclear state and that its decision was “irreversible” underscores the complete failure of U.S. policy toward Pyongyang over the last two decades.

Dating in metaverse offers vast array of possibilities
Imagine a first date with someone who lives thousands of miles away that starts with a few drinks in a club set in a past decade, and ends with a dinner on the moon overlooking the Earth. These types of scenarios are all possible today thanks to the advancement of the metaverse.

Everything everywhere all at once
It seems as if everything is going to hell all at once. You have the Russia-Ukraine war, with the always constant threat of a catastrophic nuclear exchange just below the horizon. You have Iranian women and young people violently pushing back against the suffocating rule of a fundamentalist theocracy. You have the Chinese being locked up in their own houses for months at a ti...

For Russia, China is neither a 'big bad wolf' nor a 'fairy godmother'
This month, while the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit was being held, the Global Times, an English-language Chinese newspaper, published an op-ed describing Russia-China relations. The op-ed dismissed predictions of Russia being devoured by the “big bad wolf” and hopes of the country being rescued by the “fairy godmother” as both fairy tale fantasies.
