“Now is not the time to lift sanctions, either. Now, in fact, is the time to double down. If Biden wants to prevent North Korea from acting out, he needs to first provide the government with new incentives to talk-and that means new restrictions Washington can use as carrots. Biden, in other words, needs to take North Korean policy off autopilot and launch a proactive effort to deter Pyongyang. Otherwise, he risks encouraging an already emboldened Kim to stage a major provocation.”

“Russians don't have the numbers necessary to do a strategic breakthrough. More to the point, they don't have the skill and capability to do it, to operate at the scale necessary to exploit any breakthrough to strategic advantage. They do have the ability to make local advances and they have done some of that.”

“Pompeo announced the end of the restrictions on Taiwan relations at a time when Trump was being 'abandoned' by the Republicans after the storming of the Capitol by pro-Trump rioters on January 6. Senior members of the Trump administration have begun to seek to retain the greatest political power possible, and are expecting to make a comeback, or even a decisive break with Trump. Pompeo is a typical example. There is no major change in relations between the US and the island. It is expected that the Democratic administration will not immediately reverse the current policies, because there is a cross-party consensus to use Taiwan as a pawn against China. Taiwan has a relatively low priority, and Biden's urgent task is to manage risks, rather than increase risks. It is expected that the Biden administration will not use the Taiwan issue to irritate China in the short term.”
