This story began with a press release shortly after I first moved to South Korea in 2016. That was followed by others generally saying a soldier had been found unresponsive and later pronounced dead. The cause was under investigation. (Thread)

This is a powerful story w/a snippet about an elite Afghan special forces unit that tried to hold Jalalabad. 'Unlike so many other Afghan units over the past week, this one had refused to surrender and tried to fight.’ Some did try to fight. They just didn’t stand a chance.

Yes. It is very sad.

Defence Secretary Ben Wallace breaks down admitting "some people won't get back" from Afghanistan and "it's sad that the West has done what's it's done."

Kim Jong Un previously said he was prepared for "dialogue and confrontation" with the U.S., but the DPRK leader's sister appears to be downplaying hopes.

Via state media on Tuesday, Kim Yo Jong implied that Washington shouldn't get its hopes up for talks.

This is the article he referred to - part of a @starsandstripes 70th anniversary series. https://t.co/YM6jQP0IXI

Thanks for the mention Kim Seong-Kon. In https://t.co/gEPSoJvZX6 he explores the need to remember the #koreanwar on its 71st anniversary. ‘If we forget the Korean War and do not learn its precious lessons, we might end up suffering a 2nd Korean War on the peninsula someday.'

So sad. Decorated Afghan helicopter pilot is in hiding after the Pentagon reversed its decision to let him move to the US. An official said senior leaders objected b/c the decision had been made w/o their approval. By @JpLawrence3 https://t.co/XgodrPxSZK

The results of the US election have many implications for South Koreans. Local employees working for the US military are hoping to finally get resolution on a new cost-sharing deal that has been in limbo until after the vote. https://t.co/TNUHg8XozL
