Tweet The headlines have been deeply disturbing:  North Korea, led by an unstable 20-something, has reinstated war against the United States and South Korea after a fifty-plus year hiatus in active hostilities.  Admittedly, North Korea hasn’t fired any shots yet, but its rhetorical volleys have been incendiary.  Just yesterday, it cut the single communication line [...]

Tweet Didn’t Biden say Obama would be tested within months of taking office? The State Department says that North Korea has launched a rocket, following through on its promise of a launch despite international criticism. State Department spokesman Fred Lash confirmed the launch, saying it occurred at 10:30 p.m. EDT Saturday. “We look on this [...]

Tweet Abe Greenwald looks at the vast differences between the values of America’s enemies and semi-enemies (such as Iran, North Korea, and Russia), as well as Obama’s naive and dangerous inability to understand that the leaders and fanatics in those nations are not like us.
