This week I spoke with @kenj0126 on India, where he outlined the opportunities and challenges for long-term JP-India cooperation, including the need for JP’s better understanding of India’s strengths + strategic priorities.
I talked my way into Henry Kissinger's 100th birthday party.
It felt like a lost scene from Dr. Strangelove. I think I was the only reporter in the room.

On this day in S.Korea in 1980, the Chun Doo-hwan junta sent the military to crush pro-democracy protests in Gwangju, gunning down entire crowds. Many of the soldiers behind the massacre are still alive today. I wrote about one's journey of confession:

Coming up on the G7 in Hiroshima next month, I outline how the US can use the summit as a vessel for better strategic alignment with its allies and partners.

I greatly enjoyed reviewing @profTLe's fantastic book on Japan's Aging Peace as part of a roundtable with @marinadickson01, Yoichi Funabashi, Christopher Hughes, and Paul Midford for the latest issue of Asia Policy @NBRnews https://t.co/51muhrBBrw
Really really enjoyed reviewing @profTLe‘s book for @NBRnews. “Japan’s Aging Peace” is super insightful and the intersection of demographics and militarism is something many more countries will need to examine in years to come.

Really honored that @NBRnews put together a review roundtable of Japan's Aging Peace. I'm a bit old school and enjoy big IR debates and it was really run writing my response to some fair reviews by @cmcclean@marinadickson01 Funabashi, Hughes, and Midford
Major development from Yoon’s visit to DC: South Korea and the US will have a permanent nuclear consultation group. The US will also be deploying more nuclear capable assets to the peninsula, including SSBNs.
South Korea will have a say in planning a potential U.S. nuclear response to a North Korean attack in return for not developing its own nuclear weapons https://t.co/YVx09nxixg
Exclusive: The man behind a massive leak of U.S. government secrets that has exposed spying on allies, revealed the grim prospects for Ukraine’s war with Russia and ignited diplomatic fires for the White House is a young, charismatic gun enthusiast who shared highly classified documents with a group of far-flung acquaintances searching for companionship amid the isolation of the pandemic. https://t.co/b0cjgbAapm
The weirdest thing about this discord leak debacle is the fact that these documents have been floating around for over a month (!!!) and none of the intel agencies affected dealt with it (if they even knew about it) until the NYT picked it up.
We don't know exactly who leaked those 100+ Pentagon documents online. But in a new @bellingcat investigation, I talked to several people on the Discord server with 20 active users where they may have first originated.
