Slashing U.S. forces
WASHINGTON - Here's a view I've been hearing around here about why President Donald Trump is demanding huge sums from both Japan and South Korea for the privilege of having U.S. bases and forces on their soil.

America's political drama
WASHINGTON - Inside the Beltway surrounding the American capital, a single topic these days excites the elitists, politicians, lobbyists, bureaucrats, journalists and intellectuals who compete to run the country.
2019-11-14 17:16
Korea versus Japan
WASHINGTON - Koreans have innumerable reasons to resent Japan's sense of superiority and also every reason to get over it. Astonishingly, apologists for North Korea deride U.S. attempts at persuading South Korean and Japanese leaders to get along with each other. It's as though they really think South Korea and Japan should go to war - or at least avoid contact - while favoring North-South reconciliation on terms favorable to the North.

Mount Geumgang
Mount Geumgang evokes so many memories. The first time I went there, in April 1995, was with a group of Korean-Canadians who had gone to North Korea ostensibly to attend the Pyongyang International Sports and Culture Festival, featuring the Japanese wrestler Antonio Inoki and the American Ric Flair, two of the greatest of all-time. This group, which I had joined at the suggestion of a diplomat in North Korea's UN mission, had not gone there to watch the wrestling.

Trump, the unguided missile
WASHINGTON - We hear a lot about North Korea's missiles but sometimes forget our own unguided missile. That would be Donald Trump, who's likely to go shooting off in any and all directions with little or no warning or planning.

Down to the wire on Brexit
LONDON - Brexit, Britain's exit from the European Union, is getting so tiresome, you wish the Brits would just get on with it and get out.
2019-10-17 17:19
Living with the bomb
WASHINGTON - No way can President Trump dream of a foreign policy success on North Korea's nukes and missiles as a break from the cacophony of one revelation after another of his dubious dealings with Ukraine, China too, and maybe other foreign powers.
2019-10-10 17:14
North Korea's fight-talk strategy
WASHINGTON - Those naughty North Koreans. Imagine them having the temerity to test-fire another missile from a submarine just as U.S. and North Korean negotiators are about to sit down for another round of talks on Pyongyang's nuclear program. Might the North Koreans really be capable of affixing a nuclear warhead to one of those things, sneaking up close to American shores and annihilating everyone for miles around wherever it landed?

Decoding Trump at UN
President Donald Trump's thinking on a deal with North Korea is difficult to figure out. He's less transparent, actually, than Kim Jong-un.
2019-09-26 16:18
Appeasing North Korea
President Moon Jae-in, in his anxiety to appease North Korea, faces difficult choices. North Korea is easily offended.
