1/ Covered DPRK issue in and out of govt for 28 years. Few thoughts to offer here as US careens toward cliff on the Korean Peninsula.
2/ sense of crisis mostly self-generated: product of Trump ego and insecurity mated to Kim Jong-un’s rapidly advancing nuke missile program

@HudsonInstitute @nuryturkel I have witnessed and helped document China’s abusive treatment of Uighur ethnic minorities. @FareedZakaria in no way “dismiss (ed)” such concerns. He questioned “groupthink” where it comes to how to deal with the serious challenges posed by China. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/…
@HudsonInstitute @nuryturkel @FareedZakaria @FareedZakaria column laments that we lack a “rational and considered” foreign policy detailing how to deal with China — a policy rooted not in fear of China, or fear of being labeled “soft,” but in national interests, including advancing universal human rights.
@HudsonInstitute @nuryturkel @FareedZakaria @HudsonInstitute should welcome a plea for reasoned policy debate. Biden’s Indo-Pacific Strategy is laudably long on alliance management and self-strengthening. Good start. But it remains lamentably short on critical thinking on how best to manage US-PRC bilateral relations.

Thread on Jimmy Carter and 1994 North Korea nuclear crisis.
In August, 1994, I was one of a small team of intelligence officers asked to brief the former President prior to his mission to Pyongyang. Carter had essentially volunteered for the task…much to Clinton’s consternation.
For benefit of those who didn’t live through it, 1994 nuclear crisis was no laughing matter. US and DPRK came closer to war that year than we had at any time since the Armistice. Only Trump “fire and fury” episode comes close, and we now know that was more kabuki than real.
Dprk was secretly moving to complete work necessary to reprocess plutonium from its 5MW heavy water graphite moderated reactor in violation of NPT obligations. It was also, in wake of collapse of USSR, feeling vulnerable, and ramping up conventional military preparations for war.

@shustry I’m not a European security specialist or a Russia expert. The courses I have taught on Russia were always team-taught, with me handling the China piece of a fun course on the Eagle, the Dragon, and the Bear.
But I have 35 years of experience on international security, with….
@shustry …the bulk of that time spent as a political-military analyst at State/INR and as Asia adviser to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Military analysis must always be put in context, and not every troop assembly means invasion is imminent. That said, experienced military…
@shustry ….analysts learn how to assess the I&W and reach a conclusion about what outcome is most likely…and they learn to screen out the noise of political posturing, last gasp diplomatic maneuvers, and disinformation campaigns.

@SiddiqRex @anneapplebaum “Blackface” is not the same as casting white actors to play black roles. The latter is an appropriate subject to discuss, especially at the collegiate level, where raising uncomfortable subjects should be the norm, not the exception.
@SiddiqRex @anneapplebaum And as for “blackface,” should “birth of a nation” NOT be shown in a film class, or a class on race and history in USA, just because it contains those hurtful images? Have we become a nation incapable of inquiry into uncomfortable subjects? Really?
@SiddiqRex @anneapplebaum How are we honestly to confront America’s racist osf and continued racism/discrimination if we are incapable of examining it — in classrooms, churches, govt hearings, neighborhood meetings? How can we address a problem if we run from it?

Marc / you really should read Mueller report someday. Then you would know Trump was NOT exonerated of colluding with Russia. It’s a basic fact you struggle with in your oped.
Btw, “resistance” didn’t mean Dems rejected trump was @potus washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…
No Surprise that you hold Democrats responsible for “resisting” Trump’s assault on our democracy and fail to deem that effort virtuous. But I’d say four years of Trump has proven that those who resisted his agenda will go down as heroes; those who aided him as dupes.
Trump’s legacy? 400,000 dead from Covid, delusional refusal to accept a clear electoral defeat, rampant corruption, self-dealing, coddling dictators from Pyongyang to Moscow, abandoning champions of democracy (Navalny), trashing the environment, tweeting, golfing, spewing.

Covid Thread from Seoul: What ROK got right. What we got wrong. Why there is NO EXCUSE for Trump’s catastrophic failure to respond to COVID.
Just spent five days in ROK for work. I was STUNNED by the contrast with USA. Everything is open. Schools. Restaurants. Stores. Offices.
HOW have they done it?
It begins with having an actual government that CARES about the health — physical, and economic — of its citizens. Trump KNEW we faced a deadly virus, but he cared ONLY about himself and his re-election. He LIED to us. Repeatedly. And is still lying today.
If Trump’s lying was not bad enough, he ALSO forced his government to lie — suppressing health experts when they tried to warn us, undercutting their advice on testing, tracing, & masks, touting bogus miracle cures, and putting another incompetent, his @VP in charge of response.
