A 360° Discussion of Foreign, National and Local Policy Issues

Monthly Archives December 2014

For January 5: The Korean Peninsula

In the wake of the recent news around the release of “The Interview” and our own discussions about how to treat nuclear states, we’ll turn our focus to the Koreas, North and South.

  • What are the prospects for reunification? Over what time frame?
  • What should be the US policy with respect to each country?
  • What else can (or should) the US do to address the issues arising from North Korea?
  • What does this mean of Sino-US relations and cooperation?

FOR DECEMBER 29: PAKISTAN

Butler Smythe writes:  With recent terrorist activity in Pakistan (specifically the attack on the youth military school that resulted in over 140 deaths) there may be a refocusing of efforts by the Pakistani government on internal threats to their own security.
What if anything should the US government do to help or support Pakistan and how does that help the US?
How would any efforts be looked at by our principal allies in the fight on terror?

Art writes:  Should we make any reference to India-Pakistan relations, Kashmir, and the fragile relations between India and the US.?
