Why North Korea Won't Succumb to 'Maximum Pressure'
*Henri Féron* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] How many more bets on North Korean surrender can America afford to go wrong? There are two theories to explain why North Korea is now negotiating with the United States instead of pursuing its nuclear and missile tests. The first is that President Donald Trump’s “maximum pressure” sanctions finally managed to punch North Korean leader Kim Jong Un into the ropes. In this case, Kim would be trying to negotiate the terms of his surrender. The second theory is that he is calling checkmate after showing that his missiles can reach any c... more »

HOW'S THAT GLOBAL ANTI-DISCRIMINATION INITIATIVE WORKING OUT, TRUMP ADMINISTRATION?
I'm so old I remember this story, from last month: The Trump administration is launching a global campaign to end the criminalization of homosexuality in dozens of nations where it's still illegal to be gay, U.S. officials tell NBC News, a bid aimed in part at denouncing Iran over its human rights record. U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell, the highest-profile openly gay person in the Trump administration, is leading the effort, which kicks off Tuesday evening in Berlin. The U.S. embassy is flying in LGBT activists from across Europe for a strategy dinner to plan to push for...more »

Boeing and Its Connections to Washington
With Boeing finding itself on the receiving end of bad news thanks to issues related to its 737 Max 8 model and with Washington's seeming reluctance to be among the first nations to banish these airplanes from the sky, especially considering the large number of 737 Max 8s that are flying in American airspace, I thought it would be prudent to look at a key aspect of Boeing's business model.
