The ongoing tensions involving the United States, Israel and Iran are highlighting the changing character of war and contributing to volatility in energy markets.
As a key US ally and a major importer of Middle Eastern energy, the Republic of Korea faces mounting challenges – including rising oil prices and increased pressure from Washington to bring greater strategic flexibility to the US–ROK alliance.

I’m excited to share my latest piece for The National Interest, where I argue that as warfare becomes increasingly electrified, advanced nuclear reactors could provide militaries with the reliable, resilient power needed to sustain operations. nationalinterest.org/blog/en…

A compelling piece by @VictorDCha, which argues that it is time to stop pretending the old framework for denuclearizing North Korea will work and instead pursue a “cold peace”—a relationship short of normalization that manages the threat as it actually is. foreignaffairs.com/north-kor…

The Case for a Cold Peace with North Korea
That's the argument that @csis @VictorDCha made in an essay out in @ForeignAffairs today.
And here is why the United States needs a cold peace with North Korea—a relationship short of normalization but that prioritizes open dialogue to avoid miscalculation and escalation.
A mega thread... (1/12)
