“Arihant is the most important platform within India’s nuclear triad covering land-air-sea modes,” the Hindu reports. Well, it’s important if it works — and it probably helps to make your submarine watertight. Also, it’s a good idea to, like, close the hatches before you dive. Call it a lesson learned for the Indian navy, which managed to put the country’s first nuclear-missile submarine, the $2.9
Japan and South Korea Must Focus on North Korea (Not Each Other) There was no good reason for the recent high seas incident between Seoul and Tokyo. On December 20, 2018, following instructions from the government of the Republic of Korea, the Korean Coast Guard (KCG) and the Republic of Korea Navy (ROKN) went to the aid of a North Korean fishing vessel in distress in the East Sea (also known as t
Three days later, the Japanese government released a recording by the P-1 here, including the chatter by the crew, and demanded an apology. Then on Friday, December 4, 2019, the South Korean government released its own video suggesting the Japanese messages were unintelligible and that the P-1 had circled provocatively low over the destroyer. At the very least, it seems unlikely the P-1 crew would
Japan First Versus Global Japan "Japan First" and "Global Japan" clash over the two shapes the direction of Japan’s foreign, security and defense policy. Making sense of Japan as an international political and security actor and maintaining a sense of proportion regarding Tokyo’s foreign and security policy are hardly a straightforward task. It is not just a headache for outside observers. There i
Is Turkey Secretly Working on Nuclear Weapons? While the world worries about Iran's nuclear program, could another nation in the Middle East have atomic desires? Some months ago it became known that the German Intelligence Service (Bundesnachrichtendienst - BND) was spying on Turkey. Turkey's political leadership was none too happy. Yet the BND has good reasons to keep a watchful eye on Ankara. It
Trump Shouldn't Bash Japan In economics and defense, Japan is an important ally, not a rival. Donald Trump says that he wants to “make America great again.” If that’s the case, why has he continuously lambasted Japan, the United States’ most important military and economic partner in the world’s most important region? Trump regularly condemns Japan for both its economic and military policies. He i
Why South Korea Is So Obsessed with Japan All in all, anti-Japanism is a pretty good strategy for managing S. Korea's many tensions, and so long as the U.S. is around, there are no geopolitical consequences to it either. Last month I wrote about the possibility that 'Korea fatigue' – a Japanese phenomenon arising from Korea's relentless criticism of Japan over its World War II conduct—might be com
U.S. Should Be Appalled by Japan's Historical Revisionism If Imperial Japan was the victim in WWII, than Harry Truman, not Hideki Tojo, must be the war criminal. In a late January address to Parliament, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe directly entered the fray in Tokyo’s accelerated attempts to rewrite World War II history. The prime minister was referring specifically to references to Comfort
Say Goodbye to Taiwan Mini Teaser: Time is running out for the little island coveted by its gigantic, growing neighbor. WHAT ARE the implications for Taiwan of China’s continued rise? Not today. Not next year. No, the real dilemma Taiwan will confront looms in the decades ahead, when China, whose continued economic growth seems likely although not a sure thing, is far more powerful than it is toda
Ukraine's Revolution: A Fight the West Can’t Afford to Win Too expensive to save without Russia's help. TV cameras inside Ukraine are now focused on the scramble to form a government, the rumblings of restive ethnic Russian-dominated provinces, and the hunt for president-turned-fugitive Viktor Yanukovych. But behind the scenes, outsiders—Russians, Europeans and Americans—are already positioning fo
From Tahrir Square to Red Square What can the color revolutions tell us about the Arab uprisings? The official Russian response to recent popular demonstrations against governments in the Middle East has been remarkably circumspect. Statements by President Medvedev, Foreign Minister Lavrov, and Foreign Ministry spokesman Lukashevich on events in Egypt in particular have all emphasized the need for
Imperial by Design Mini Teaser: Like his two most recent predecessors, President Obama is embarking on a disastrous foreign policy bent on global domination. IN THE first years after the Cold War ended, many Americans had a profound sense of optimism about the future of international politics. President Bill Clinton captured that mood when he told the UN General Assembly in September 1993: It is c
Russia Will Never Accept an Armenian Withdrawal Europe's tempting of Armenia toward integration with Europe could end in disaster for Yerevan. America's Greatest Enemy Isn't China or Russia: Its $35 Trillion In Debt With a $1.5 trillion deficit this year, $35 trillion in overall debt, and $1 trillion in interest payments this year, if the U.S. dollar is no longer the primary global reserve currenc
