Shinzo Abe's Underhanded Trade War Against South Korea
*Ki-jung Kim* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] The Japanese prime minister's strategy regarding the Korean Peninsula is highly reminiscent of parochial “divide and conquer” tactics.

"Do Not Live For Others..."
"Beware the irrational, however seductive. Shun the 'transcendent' and all who invite you to subordinate or annihilate yourself. Distrust compassion; prefer dignity for yourself and others. Don't be afraid to be thought arrogant or selfish. Picture all experts as if they were mammals. Never be a spectator of unfairness or stupidity. Seek out argument and disputation for their own sake; the grave will supply plenty of time for silence. Suspect your own motives, and all excuses. Do not live for others any more than you would expect others to live for you." - Christopher Hitchens

What is it good for????
Activists at Beale AFB in northern California. They'd been getting arrested at this drone/spy operations base every month for several years. My family lived at Beale AFB and I graduated from Wheatland high school in 1970. My dad worked on the spy plane (SR-71) cameras at the base in those days. I had the great honor of being arrested with these folks at this very gate a couple of years ago. The charges were dropped. From what I've seen and heard they get a pretty good response from the GI's when they block the morning drive time gate each month. Love their signs. Bruce

*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * You decide. *North Korea’s latest submarine is a step in a different direction, the so-called Sinpo or Gorae (“Whale”) class ballistic-missile submarine (SSB). The SSB appears to blend submarine know-how from previous classes with launch technology from the Soviet Cold War–era Golf-class ballistic-missile submarines; North Korea imported several Golf-class subs in the 1990s, ostensibly for scrapping purposes. Both the Golf and Gorae classes feature missile tubes in the submarine’s sail. The tubes are believed to be meant for the Pukkuksong-1 (“Polar... more »
