My commentary on South Korean 'Nuclear Insecurities' is out with IPCS. I take a look at new public polling research and argue that nuclear armament would worsen the ROK's security situation while squandering chances of a diplomatic solution towards peace and denuclearization.

@cloverdred @demsmight @ChaseMit @kasie @brianstelter @jeffzeleny @CNN Pelosi privately told Biden that the polls show he can't win. It's so over for Biden, we would have a better chance with any other candidate. It's not 100% confirmed that Kamela would replace him, they'll be a mini primary probably.

@demsmight @ChaseMit @kasie @brianstelter @jeffzeleny @CNN Are you completely unaware of the polling on this issue? Majority of dems want Biden to step down, him staying is way more of a liability.

📊 Faced with North Korean threats and uncertainty over US commitments, support for South Korean nuclear armament remains high. My article explores the potential implications of a 2nd Trump Presidency on the nuclear armament debate in South Korea. https://t.co/MBbrH3RXCf

@SashBTS7 @chimtanm You got the numbers flipped

@hong_ijin @KasulisK I dont think it would have been realistic for the government to ban partying in Itaewon without pretext. If the crowds are too big the city police are responsible for dispersing the crowd, I don't think theres going to be a super effective political spin to come out of this tbh.

[Chris ⛰️ @chrisg986]

@hong_ijin @KasulisK What could the government have possibly done to prevent this, it seems like a straight forward local law enforcement crowd control issue

@jondoe615 @conservatismDNA @benshapiro Why did Trump bring highly classified documents relating to nuclear weapons to his house?

[Chris ⛰️ @chrisg986]

@Armyvet74 @conservatismDNA @benshapiro The president does not have the authority to declassify documents related to nuclear weapons. The energy department would also have to sign off.

@Joelivre @TonyVRinna Yes good point, I guess those suggesting that Ukraine should have kept them are referring to that political decision as the mistake. Anyway who knows what kind of Russian response it would have provoked if they tried to gain control, could easily have been pretext for war earlier

[Chris ⛰️ @chrisg986]

@TonyVRinna Just reading about this now but apparently there was a way for them to gain "positive control" over the nuclear weapons in fairly short order. At the time US officials believed that Ukranian scientists had sufficient capabilities to crack the codes.

@itstechtron @DubstepInDPRK I don't think that taking seriously nonpartisan US intelligence assessments that Russia interfered in the 2016 election is at all equivalent to 2020 election lies and the ensuing insurrection. Your both sides narrative is really helpful to authoritarians though.

[Chris ⛰️ @chrisg986]

@itstechtron @DubstepInDPRK The things you listed are all individually debatable and even then no where near the magnitude and severity of the lies and disinformation that are mainstream on the American right. QAnon is fake, the election wasn't stolen. There is no "both sides" here.
