In this article, I take a look at the major flashpoints defining US-ROK relations today, what they mean for the partnership, and opportunities for the future. Thank you to the wonderful folks at @9DashLine for asking me to write this piece!

"Concern about a deterrent gap can either be bridged with a continued promise of the US nuclear umbrella, or a slow, measured withdrawal while South Korea pursues its own capabilities" https://t.co/rfoK21TZsu | by Hunter Slingbaum

So incredibly grateful and in awe of my wonderful co-author @ka_grieco! Our report on a critical threat to U.S. air bases in the Indo-Pacific just went live today, as did Kelly's fantastic thread on our piece. Check both out below.

[Kelly Grieco @ka_grieco]

I’m excited to share my latest @stimsoncenter report w/ @HunterSlingbaum and Jonathan Walker on why Chinese missile threats U.S. air bases in I-P.

BLUF: USAF could be grounded in theater in the first days and even weeks of a war. No easy answers

and while we’re getting all of my thoughts out there, avatar kyoshi was a 7ft tall goddess. not watching avatar on netflix is a disservice to her legacy

[Hunter Slingbaum @HunterSlingbaum]

also your activism should be intersectional!! trans people are at a much higher risk to be victims of violence, particularly when it comes to Black trans individuals. do not exclude these groups from your activism

[Hunter Slingbaum @HunterSlingbaum]

if it is economically feasible for you to do so, do not stop donating!!! the blm movement isn’t over because your instagram feeds aren’t full of blackout tuesday posts

i might as well get out all my thoughts before i forget twitter exists for another year

Black lives matter 🖤

Trans lives matter🤍

언어를 배우려면 자주 연습해야 된다는 걸 아는데 처음 공부하는 걸 시작했을 때 왜 한국어로 트윗 했을까?? 내 한국어 실력이 아직도 부족하긴 하지만 2018년에 한 트윗들이...yikes

[Hunter Slingbaum @HunterSlingbaum]

this!!! just knowing this happens is upsetting enough, but there’s a chance my gf could end up in the same situation - in which case i’d go even more ballistic. stand up for the trans community and demand a world where cops don’t have power to discriminate against/harm minorities

[Hunter Slingbaum @HunterSlingbaum]

you know, I never understood twitter—I don’t think I ever will—but it’s almost 4am so I think I’m doing it right~

[Hunter Slingbaum @HunterSlingbaum]

okay but why is every basic lead girl in every webtoon named Emma

[Hunter Slingbaum @HunterSlingbaum]

Oh and one quick shout out to V’s voice actor, 이호산, for making everyone laugh at the panel and for being extremely kind at the signing. 멋져요!

[Youngsun Kim @HowlKim]

이렇게 많은 707이? ㅋㅋ 이건 빙산의 일각입니다요. #otakon #mysticmessenger #성우김영선

[Hunter Slingbaum @HunterSlingbaum]

@HowlKim 만나서 반가웠어요! 오타콘에와 주셔서 고마워요 😊 sorry if I don’t have the most eloquent Korean, but it was great to meet you and the other voice actors. Thank you for taking a photo with me, and I know that the United States would love to have you back any time!

[Hunter Slingbaum @HunterSlingbaum]

Otakon has been a blast, and with only one day left, I’m already missing it all. Plus it doesn’t hurt that I’m cosplaying the best mystic messenger character, 707. Excuse my Korean if I look back and it’s horrible but, 오타콘하고 체리츠를 좋아해요! 여러분, 사랑해요 😘

[Hunter Slingbaum @HunterSlingbaum]

So I may have a teensy tiny obsession with Crazy Ex Girlfriend, but it's justified since @Racheldoesstuff, @alinebmckenna, and their whole team are actual geniuses. Just putting that out there. (All three seasons are on Netflix btw)

[Hunter Slingbaum @HunterSlingbaum]

@dannygonzalez This one line was more relatable than all of the other videos combined 😂 not everyone can have a fly system and functioning mics
