Today is publication day of my latest book. I started writing it back in 2019 at a cafe in rural South Dakota. I wanted to write a book that was not centered on North Korea or diplomatic history, my areas of expertise. I hope people find i…

If Trump tries to abduct Kim Jong Un, Pyongyang would launch an ICBM at Guam or Hawaii. So North Korea remains the big winner this weekend!
This is all going to come back to bite the U.S in the butt and the fact that so many folks are celebrating this operation is appalling. I guess we forgot that Iraq turned into a den for jihadists and Afghanistan turned into a hotbed for op…
My latest for Compact magazine
In short, I think a U.S ground invasion of Venezuela would be incredibly stupid. And I think we are vastly underestimating the ELN in Colombia who would come to the aid of Maduro’s regime.
