Fears of flying
U.S. President Donald Trump is in such hot water in Washington that his summit with Kim Jong-un, if it actually happens, will be either a distraction or a welcome relief from the pressure-cooker atmosphere at home.

Fantasizing 'regime change'
In the excitement over impending summits, we may have forgotten one other solution everyone was talking about, oh, just a month or two ago. Whatever happened to all the enthusiasm for forcing Kim Jong-un out of his job by internal upheaval, external attack, or maybe just a plain old heart attack? Just because he's seeing President Moon Jae-in later next month and then maybe President Donald Trump in May, should we forget about “regime change”?

'Maybe this time'?
Don't hold your breath. We've been disappointed so often in moves toward North-South reconciliation that it's hard to believe any face-to-face talks between President Moon Jae-in and North Korea's “respected leader” Kim Jong-un will lead to resolution of a nuclear crisis that's only worsened in recent years.

Russian scammers, Olympic style
PYEONGCHANG -- Now I know firsthand what they're talking about when they say the Russians are tricky. Yes, they've gotten into American and other websites, tried to sway the U.S. presidential election and are not to be trusted, but those were media reports. In an era of fake news, how could anyone be sure?

Moves on the chessboard
Now the real games begin; the interplay between North and South Korea and between the U.S. and both Koreas. The players may have shifted some of the pieces around the chessboard during these most political of Winter Olympics, but it's much too early to know what happens next, much less the final moves.

Conflict of interests at NBC
The strange case of NBC sports commentator Joshua Cooper Ramo touched the sensitive nerves of millions of Koreans. Thousands responded with indignation, aggrieved feelings, even outrage to his on-air remark at the Winter Olympics to the effect that “every Korean will tell you that Japan as a cultural and technological and economic example has been so important to their own transformation.”

Olympic fever, then and now
Mid-winter is not exactly the best time for mass demonstrations in South Korea. Protesters prefer to wait for spring, but the Winter Olympics leave them no choice. Flag-wavers are out there during the coldest ever Olympics, the rightists waving Korean and American flags, leftists and liberals those one-Korea flags, the Korean Peninsula in blue on a white field.
2018-02-08 16:21
Trump's 'American moment'
Don't count on the Winter Olympics as the moment for rapprochement on the Korean peninsula. That message came through loud and clear in President Donald Trump's first “state of the union” address. “Our new American moment,” as Trump called this turbulent time in U.S. history, does not mean happy talk and dialogue with America's enemies.

Tet and Korea, 50 years later
VIRGINIA BEACH, Virginia - How quickly we forget. Memories, dates and events fade away, only to be revived on anniversaries. A lot of historical events are barely recalled. I was in a country named “South” Vietnam 50 years ago when North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces attacked almost every city and town at the opening of Tet, the Lunar New Year. The 50th anniversary of Tet 1968 has to be the topic of colorful reminiscences and guilt-dripping analyses about the American role in foreign wars, but how many remember two other events in the month of January 1968 that stand out in modern Korean h...

Checking those N.Korean dancers
WASHINGTON - Ah, let the games begin! The fun and games, that is, of seeing how the clever North Koreans play the Winter Olympics for all they’re worth. For sure, North Korean strategists are looking for a diplomatic and political triumph regardless of who wins what at PyeongChang and Gangneung. Already, by getting the South to agree on a joint women’s hockey team and on athletes from North and South parading under the one-Korea flag at the opening and closing ceremonies, they’ve put the Americans on the defensive. Who would doubt such gestures should prove a lot more effective than all thos...
