    Sue Mi Terry “Now is not the time to lift sanctions, either. Now, in fact, is the time to double down. If Biden wants to prevent North Korea from acting out, he needs to first provide the government with new incentives to talk-and that means new restrictions Washington can use as carrots. Biden, in other words, needs to take North Korean policy off autopilot and launch a proactive effort to deter Pyongyang. Otherwise, he risks encouraging an already emboldened Kim to stage a major provocation.” 12 hours ago

    Christopher Cavoli “Russians don't have the numbers necessary to do a strategic breakthrough. More to the point, they don't have the skill and capability to do it, to operate at the scale necessary to exploit any breakthrough to strategic advantage. They do have the ability to make local advances and they have done some of that.” 13 hours ago

“Kim [Kim Jong-un] has officially declared his intention not to engage in any dialogue with the Yoon Suk Yeol administration. It's a clear indication that Pyongyang will walk away from inter-Korean relations. If you read between the lines, what Kim meant is that his regime will achieve its ultimate goal of unification through the use of force, not through peaceful means. It seeks the collapse of South Korea.”

“So far, the North has reported one Omicron-related death, it is expected that the North will not accept aid from the outside world, especially the Western world, for a while. However, if the number of Omicron deaths soar, the North will have no option but to request China's assistance first, and then they may consider the Western world's aid if the situation gets out of control for the regime. Potential inter-Korean quarantine cooperation can help the two sides to lower military tensions and resume talks. South Korea may be able to provide a coronavirus-relief package to North Korea through China or other international organizations if it remains reluctant to receive help. Any inter-Korean cooperation in fighting COVID-19 will not be easy, because the South Korean government is now led by hawkish figures, who are describing North Korea's short range ballistic missile launch as a serious provocation.”

“North Korea's denuclearization is the only path toward the normalization of inter-Korean relations. One of the biggest stumbling blocks to inter-Korean ties is the nuclear issue. Now that inter-Korean dialogue has discontinued and North Korea has been revving up its missile provocations, I am agonizing over how to create momentum for inter-Korean dialogue.”

“I think that it is one of the issues under discussion among the parties involved in the North Korea issue. The Moon government is openly pressing for an end of war declaration, including the President himself and the ministers of foreign affairs and unification. And it would be an important political move if it happens. North Korea has realized that it has to address U.S.-North Korea and inter-Korean relations in parallel now that Biden is U.S. president. It has also realized that it has to address political relations with the U.S., inter-Korean reconciliation, nuclear issues and possible economic assistance in parallel. This wasn't the case during the Trump years, but it is under Biden.”

“Kim Yo-jong's latest statements may be part of Pyongyang's efforts to continue baiting Seoul. Time is not on the Moon administration's side. Pyongyang is clearly aware of this - and the Moon administration has also worn its emotions on its sleeve by continuing to underscore the importance of inter-Korean reconciliation at nearly every possible opportunity... Through Seoul, Kim [Kim Jong-un] has an advocate that will not only go to bat for Pyongyang, but even take it upon itself to proactively and voluntarily push on behalf of the North Korean regime - without Kim's prodding. The Kim regime does not really have to do much, because the heavy lifting appears to be done by Seoul.”

“What is different from the previous U.S. stance is that Sung Kim talked about the U.S. support for inter-Korean humanitarian aid in more detail. Although it did not mean that the U.S. will fully roll up its sleeves for the humanitarian assistance, he showed the U.S.'s determination toward South Korea helping its northern neighbor in humanitarian aid.”

“We discussed possible humanitarian assistance to the DPRK [Democratic People's Republic of Korea]. I reaffirmed U.S. support for inter-Korean dialogue and engagement stipulated by the joint statement between our two leaders in May and will continue to render our support to inter-Korean humanitarian cooperation projects.”
