Hwang Kyo-ahn’s hunger strike passes the six day mark. He’s got a relatively small crowd of supporters, mostly religious and far right types setting up tents and making noise all day and night outside the Blue House in violation of various laws. There is a similar but smaller group outside the National Assembly. Two things could possibly happen,…[Read more]

Buttigieg is an embarrassment. He’s been groomed for his candidacy by whom exactly? I don’t understand his “business experience” overseas nor do I understand how he obtained a direct commission as an intelligence officer in the Navy without an active duty commitment. Ticket punching with the favor of an unseen hand.

So the deal Yanukovych wouldn’t sign had a clause in it committing to Ukraine to NATO? That was a an obvious non-starter. But Yanukovych had already agreed to early elections and Obama was happy with that, but someone decided to overthrow his government anyway. It makes you wonder who runs US foreign policy. Great interview.
