Untitled
Michael Gerson asks whether Donald Trump is an "instinctual demagogue" or an "instinctual authoritarian." On most days, the evidence favors the former interpretation. Trump often acts like a desperate, self-interested politician, convinced that his enemies fight dirty and determined to out-slime them. So he pursues a strategy of character assassination against the special counsel on the model of President Bill Clinton discrediting Ken Starr. This is squalid and damaging, but at least familiar. Then there are other days — and more and more of them — that justify the latter interpret... more »

Gregson* *Security, Asia* [image: A man walks past a TV broadcasting a news report on the dismantling of the Punggye-ri nuclear testing site, in Seoul] The summit's cancelation offers Washington, its allies, and its friends an opportunity to consider some new policies and strategies. Maybe the summit is not too big to fail. The May 24 announcement and presidential letter stamps “Cancelled” across the theater posters on the Singapore summit mooted for June 12. Maybe it is, but we’ve seen a lot of pre-summit maneuvers to establish negotiating leverage. Maybe this is ju... more »
So Much for North Korea Summit. Now What?
*James Jay Carafano* *Security, Asia* [image: President Donald Trump waves as he arrives to greet the three Americans formerly held hostage in North Korea, at Joint Base Andrews] The cancellation of an iffy summit does not trigger Armageddon. The saga of the U.S.-North Korea talks resembles a soap opera with nuclear weapons. But in following the unfolding relationship between The Donald and the Rocket Man, anyone who expected anything other than a roller coaster bought a ticket to the wrong ride. Today, the whole world will be on spin cycle, as commentators assess the implicatio... more »

The Korean Crisis Can Only Get Worse
*Doug Bandow* *Security, Asia* By cancelling the summit President Trump has abandoned an opportunity to reduce tensions on the peninsula and possibly transform the region. President Donald Trump shocked foreign policy professionals during his presidential campaign when he stated that he was willing to talk to North Korea’s Kim Jong-un. Earlier this year, he took up Kim’s surprise summit offer, resulting in the foreign policy shocker of the year. No one thought an agreement would be easy, and there were fears that the president had unrealistic expectations, which apparently turned... more »
Trump Should Trust Deterrence (Not North Korea Hawks)
*Daniel R. DePetris* *Security, Asia* The collapse of the June 12 summit is not the end of the world—yet a bloody doomsday is exactly what will happen if Trump listens to the ultra-hawkish voices in Washington. From the moment President Donald Trump accepted North Korean leader Kim Jong-un’s offer to meet in-person, there was always a lingering suspicion that the self-proclaimed master at deal-making was a little too eager to strike an agreement with Pyongyang. Democrats on Capitol Hill and even some anonymous members of his administration were telling the press that Trump was ... more »

The Chinese carrier made its first splash in April 2017, so the news that its entire hull was lifted out of the water for checks and repairs just a few days after its first voyage has fueled speculation that something has gone wrong.

Justice Delayed Is Justice: Mueller Fights To Delay Russian Collusion Trial
[image: undefined] There is an old joke among criminal defense attorneys that “justice delayed is justice,” a twist of the old adage that “justice delayed is justice denied.” The joke reflects that fact that the defense almost always benefits from the passage of time and it is the prosecution that often pushes for earlier trial debates to deny the defense enough time to absorb and address evidence. That is not the case with Special Counsel Robert Mueller who has asked federal Judge Dabney L. Friedrich to deny a speedy trial motion and delay any trial of 13 Russians and three Russia... more »
Trump Yields To Bolton, Cancels Kim Summit
After repeated references to the "Libya scenario" for North Korea -- a point not lost on Pyongyang considering that the US destroyed Libya and killed its leader -- the North Korean government finally struck back verbally, calling US Vice President Mike Pence a "dummy" for again warning that North Korea could end up like Libya. That was enough for President Trump to cancel next month's historic summit meeting. Does following the neocons make Trump look tough...or weak? Tune in to today's Liberty Report:

Trumpanzee Bails On Kim
This morning the erratic Señor Trumpanzee (Adderol + finasteride) canceled his summit with Kim Jong Un, planned for June 12 in Singapore.

When the Margin for Error is Zero
It is a supreme irony that in a season when many Black colleges are celebrating 150 years of existence, several also are fighting for survival. A confluence of circumstances—a dearth of leadership talent, enrollment declines, financial instability, and accreditation issues—has created the perfect storm for closure. One bad decision can literally take down even the most vaunted minority-serving institutions. And in carrying out their fiduciary duties of these institutions, boards must ensure that the interests of the universities are protected. The margin for error is zero.

WW3 WITH OPM?
The most Trumpian thing the president said today about the cancellation of his planned summit with North Korea's Kim Jong Un: I have spoken to South Korea and Japan and they are not only ready should foolish or reckless acts be taken by North Korea, but they are willing to shoulder much of the cost of any financial burden — any of the costs associated by the United States in operations, if such an unfortunate situation is forced upon us.
