South Korea's time for choosing
In the aftermath of World War II, the United States drew the so-called Acheson line, a line of defense against communist expansion in the western Pacific, which notably excluded South Korea. North Korea, which invaded South Korea in 1950 with the Soviet Union's backing, conducted the war for three years, with the eventual help of communist China.

Time for brinkmanship
On April 16, North Korea test-fired two new short-range missiles capable of being armed with tactical nuclear weapons into the East Sea. Many North Korea watchers, particularly progressive-oriented elements in South Korean society, had been skeptical of the possibility that the North could fire a nuclear weapon at South Korea.

Does history repeat itself? Witnessing the scenes of war taking place in Ukraine caused by Russia's paranoid leader, Vladimir Putin, the world is asking this question as if haunted by the ghost of Adolf Hitler.

Putin and possible risks
The current confrontation between Russia and the West is causing the most dangerous European security crisis since the Cold War era.

At first glance, those who are unaware of the complex nature of this conflict might think that Russia is the innocent victim of serious security threats coming from the West triggered by greedy geopolitical ambitions.

2022: The year real drama begins
Despite the diplomatic boycott of next month's Winter Olympics in Beijing, led by the United States under President Joe Biden's administration, China will continue to view its human rights issues as a domestic problem, and U.S.-China relations will not be completely derailed. These bilateral relations, which cannot be simply explained as game theory “power politics,” are much more interdependent and complex than those between the U.S. and the former Soviet Union.
