[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 ...

North Korea's winning strategy
I don't buy into the idea that North Korea is capable of taking over the bigger and stronger South Korea, whether it has nuclear weapons or not. But the North's nuclear power affects the current balance of power. It is worth thinking what Kim Jong-un will do with it. The North's leader may feel tempted to polish up its old plan for communizing the South, put in mothballs and ...

Would N. Korea use nukes against South Korea?
I don’t necessarily buy the proposition that North Korea is destined to use its nuclear weapons on its southern brethren when it is painted into a corner; but still, it is worth following up on just for the sake of giving a once-over of our current reasoning about the North’s nuclear armament. The prevalent thought is that Pyongyang is giving its all in developing nuclear arm...

Did Moon OK it?
Did President Moon Jae-in give the green light to a dangerous flyby of U.S. strategic bombers along North Korea’s east coast? If he okayed it, did he think of the consequences?
