India-Korea bonhomie in 50th year of diplomatic ties

India-Korea bonhomie appears to be at an all-time high, particularly at a time when Korean Foreign Minister Park Jin visited India when both countries are commemorating the Golden Jubilee of their diplomatic ties established in 1973. This diplomatic relationship dating back to half a century has evolved over several centuries and has seen many strides over the past 2,000 year...

Do not squander your opportunities

Our lives are full of opportunities. Some are small and are meaningless to our being - it is ok, or even good, to pass on things like tasting a new food product for free in a supermarket, for example. However, some opportunities are like a lottery. They may come only once or twice in a lifetime, like marriage or getting into an institution to study. The guidance for our life ...

Why Ukraine matters

Why Ukraine matters

STOCKHOLM - Florida's Republican governor, Ron DeSantis - a prospective US presidential candidate - recently created a stir by describing Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine as a mere “territorial dispute” that does not bear on America's core strategic interests.

Brazil's Lula throws BRIC at U.S. dollar

The writing was on the wall. But when Brazil's leftwing President Luiz Inacio “Lula” da Silva visited China recently, he flamboyantly underscored economic and security ties between Latin America's largest democracy and the world's largest dictatorship. Significantly he took steps to decouple much of Brazil's vibrant commerce from using the U.S. dollar and shift trade instead ...

South Korea: A pushover no more

South Korea: A pushover no more

President Yoon Suk Yeol made headlines recently for his remarks regarding the situations of Ukraine and Taiwan in an interview with Reuters that led to his upbraiding by the governments of Russia and China as well as the Democratic Party of Korea's (DPK) leader, Lee Jae-myung.

FrankenTech

In Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, scientist Victor Frankenstein famously uses dead body parts to create a hyperintelligent “superhuman” monster that - driven mad by human cruelty and isolation - ultimately turns on its creator. Since its publication in 1818, Shelley's story of scientific research gone wrong has come to be seen as a metaphor for ...

The unbearable lightness of secrets

The recent U.S. intelligence leak that triggered tortured handwringing in Korea over “Should we get angry at the U.S. or not for spying on us?” is as immature as it is irrelevant to the real significance of the incident. The case of Jack Teixeira, the 21-year-old Air National Guardsman accused of leaking classified documents to friends on a gaming server, represents two new p...

Thieves fall out

Thieves fall out

It's a pity that both sides can't lose in the war that broke out between rival generals in Sudan on Saturday. The best that the 48 million Sudanese can hope for now is that one side loses quickly. Beyond that, it's all bad: The rival generals both want to strangle the democratic revolution that began in the streets of Khartoum four years ago.
