Kim Jong Un’s strategy is obvious to almost everyone but Donald Trump: Use nuclear weapons as threat and deterrence while the North intimidates and encroaches on the South.

Kim Jong Un used the threat of war—and Trump’s own hysterical rhetoric—to create a situation where he appears a peacemaker, and U.S. forces are out of the peninsula.

Kim hasn’t ordered nuclear or missile tests since late 2017 when he proved he probably could hit the continental U.S. He still can, and he's not giving up that deterrence.

Kim Jong Un was all smiles when he got a letter from Trump. That’s not necessarily good news.

For the first time ever, the American, South Korean, and North Korean leaders all want American troops off the Korean peninsula.

North Korea's acting ambassador to Rome, whose defection was reported last week, won't be welcome in Seoul lest he offend Kim Jong Un and scuttle Trump's second-summit plans.

A hastily convened campaign halted Russia’s move to secure the presidency of Interpol, but the agency still faces enormous questions of legitimacy.
