  • Ursula von der Leyen
    Ursula von der Leyen “I am following the situation in Georgia with great concern and condemn the violence on the streets of Tbilisi. The European Union has also clearly expressed its concerns regarding the law on foreign influence. The Georgian people want a European future for their country.” 23 hours ago
  • Oleksandr Kozachenko
    Oleksandr Kozachenko “If we compare it with the beginning (of the Russian invasion), when we fired up to 100 shells a day, then now, when we fire 30 shells it's a luxury. Sometimes the number of shells fired daily is in single digits.” 23 hours ago

“All of a sudden South Korea's rhetoric became even more hostile towards Pyongyang. In Japan as well, we hear aggressive rhetoric and it is seriously talking about setting up NATO infrastructure with U.S. assistance. They're preparing for war with the DPRK.”

“The (May 25) launch, which was a combination of an ICBM class and one with irregular trajectory, this was another violation of the U.N. Security Council resolutions and we need to respond in a resolute manner.”

“U.S. intelligence believes that the North is preparing its Punggye-ri test site for what would be its seventh nuclear test. This assessment is consistent with the DPRK's own recent public statements. We are preparing for all contingencies in close coordination with our Japanese and ROK allies. Furthermore, we are prepared to make both short and longer term adjustments to our military posture as appropriate in responding to any DPRK provocation and as necessary to strengthen both defense and deterrence to protect our allies in the region.”

“Our trilateral cooperation is essential for responding to challenges posed by North Korea. North Korea's relentless pursuit of nuclear weapons will only end up strengthening our deterrence. This will ultimately run counter to Pyongyang's own interests.”

“The U.S. appears to be taking advantage of its nuclear talks with South Korea as a means to ensure cooperation - in other words, to have Seoul on Washington's side. South Korea is seen by some as the weakest link among the Washington-Seoul-Tokyo trilateral security structure, so the Biden administration is trying to keep the country in check in its policy toward North Korea. In that sense, the two sides have held multi-level talks.”

“With its return to testing different types of missiles, Pyongyang is flirting with the limits of what it can get away with under UN Security Council resolutions. The Moon government has doubled down on peace building engagement and the Biden administration is looking to complete a policy review before taking any major moves. Strategists in Tokyo worry that North Korea is taking provocative actions to undermine cooperation among Japan, South Korea and the United States. The three countries are trying to get on the same page about deterrence, sanctions and engagement.”

“The Biden-Harris Administration is strengthening America's relationships not only with our allies, but the relationships among them. None are more important than Japan and the Republic of Korea. We will explore opportunities to expand our cooperation in new areas such as tackling COVID-19 and addressing climate change, and are working together to reinvigorate trilateral cooperation on the North Korea challenge.”

“I think functionally oriented trilateral cooperation is a good and needed thing, but I also think that depending on the severity of tensions with Tokyo, Seoul might hold trilateralism itself at risk to make a point. If I were in the Blue House [South Korean presidential office], I'd do everything in my power to convince the Biden administration that Seoul - not Tokyo - has the right formula for stabilizing the Korean Peninsula. It's worth remembering that the disastrous policy of maximum pressure in 2017 was actually Japan's idea. If Seoul will ever convince Washington of a peace and reconciliation policy, it will be in the next year. If not, it may never happen.”

“Strategists in Seoul tend to worry that trilateral cooperation with the U.S. and Japan could provoke Pyongyang to cancel exchanges, create costly distance with China or elicit domestic political backlash. But currently there is no inter-Korean cooperation to lose, Beijing is diplomatically isolated because of human rights and the pandemic, and most South Koreans believe relations with Tokyo should be improved. The new Biden administration offers an opportunity for closer trilateral coordination that would give Seoul leverage against North Korean provocations and Chinese economic coercion, make alliance cost-sharing negotiations easier and provide political cover to smooth over historical and trade disputes with Japan.”
