Moral obligation
My upbringing as a Christian in the United States has formed my understanding of my moral obligation since childhood. I don't always get it right, but I try. I hope my understanding as an adult is deeper, more well-founded, and more in keeping with a being member of not just a global community, but a community that embraces all religions or none, all nationalities, languages,...

Liberal world order faces old dilemma: To share or to divide world
This month marks the Korean War's 72nd anniversary, a key defining event in the Cold War. Years ago, when I first read, “The Origins of the Korean War” written by U.S. historian Bruce Cumings, I was intrigued by his comparisons of U.S. Presidents Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman.

Storm clouds threaten Hong Kong's once bright horizons
How time flies. It's been 25 years since Hong Kong returned to Chinese control, a quarter-century since the prosperous British Crown Colony became a semi-autonomous part of the People's Republic of China, the world's largest dictatorship. Nonetheless, the small but feisty islands on the south China coast remained a prosperous and relatively free place, until recently

Europe's new war of ideas
Europe's new war of ideas
Russia's war in Ukraine will bifurcate Europe once again. East will be divided from West, and the frontier between them will likely be a dangerous, militarily secured zone for the foreseeable future.

Yoon's strategic and tactical dilemmas
At the heart of the North Atlantic Treaty is Article 5, which stipulates that if one member state is invaded, all other member states should automatically intervene for its protection. It is this clause that led some Eastern European countries to join NATO, having felt threatened by Russia's military revival under President Vladimir Putin, a leader obsessed with nostalgia for...

Cold War redux
North Korea stands to benefit from the war in Ukraine. Why? Because Russia may be more willing to ignore international sanctions and provide Pyongyang with what it needs: oil, grain and fertilizer among other crucial products.

European security after NATO's Madrid summit
European security after NATO's Madrid summit
At the end of June, 25 years after Madrid last hosted a NATO summit, the Spanish capital will again be the scene of a new chapter in European security. And Europe, for the most part, will have to be the protagonist. Ultimately, the Alliance's coming gathering must help us Europeans step up and assume our responsibilities with regard to our continent's security. That is the be...

AI can never be human
The world is often filled with imprecise words in such numbers that I often feel that I am drowning in the verbose inanities of language. But we must communicate for that's what makes us human. As such, we bravely dive into the foaming sea of words and grasp those few to which we choose to imbue certain meanings, as people utter them at us, twisting them with the inherent bia...

Israel's endless occupation
Israel's endless occupation
In the 55 years Israel has been occupying Palestinian lands, there have been two intifadas, four wars in Gaza, and a long series of failed efforts to negotiate a two-state solution roughly adhering to Israel's pre-1967 borders. The situation may truly be as hopeless as it seems.
