    Highly recommend this book by John Krige. It contains some interesting case studies of the US attempting to use space cooperation to advance non-proliferation goals (all cases are pre-ISS)

    The obsessive focus on disarmament no matter what blinded us to the real interest we had in persuading Kim not to go all in on tactical nuclear weapons. Now, it's too late.

    Since Kim Jong Un recently announced that North Korea would develop a new generation of tactical nuclear weapons and grow the size of North Korea's nuclear arsenal, allow me to say: I told you so.

    In particular, we should not undervalue the benefits of limiting the growth of North Korea’s nuclear arsenal. North Korea’s nuclear strategy seems to envision the large-scale use of nuclear weapons against US forces in South Korea and Japan to “repel” an invasion, with a substantial reserve of intermediate- and intercontinental-range systems held in reserve to deter the US from escalation. As I have argued elsewhere, this strategy is highly destabilizing, because it places a premium for North Korea on the first use of nuclear weapons in a crisis.

    Caution No. 2: That time people decided that there had been an assassination attempt on Kim Jong Un foiled by a traffic warden ... and it turned out she put out a fire next to a poster.

    Caution No. 1: Whatever is happening, it's not nation-wide.

    But if the measure was supposed to be nationwide, news of it hadn't reached citizens in the inter-Korean border area by 16.45. I went to Odusan then and could see farmers and people working in the fields, no sign of people racing home.

    Fun fact: your pre-K kids will have friends with same-sex parents. So, it's coming up whether you have weird hangups or not ... and it's going to be fine unless you choose make it weird.

    This is how center-right pundits launder the "groomer" smear into the mainstream. Expressing "concern" about these lessons is not fundamentally different from expressing revulsion.

    Huge surge of late of Chinese troll accounts created deliberately in order to harass - in vile terms - female Asian-American journalists. This seems like something should be acting on with considerably more vigor.
