In 2025, Choong-Koo Lee wrote, “Putting the Screws on the Partnership Between North Korea and Russia,” where he argued that the United States and South Korea should work together to weaken Pyongyang and Moscow’s military relationship. A year later, we asked him to revisit his arguments.Image: The Kremlin via Wikimedia CommonsIn your 2025 article, you argued that the United States and South Korea should work together to limit the deepening military relationship between Russia and North Korea. How has the U.S.
NASA’s Galileo spacecraft launched aboard Space Shuttle Atlantis on October 18, 1989 and reached Jupiter on December 7, 1995 after a six-year journey involving gravity-assist flybys of Venus and Earth. It became the first spacecraft to orbit an outer planet. Galileo’s atmospheric probe endured deceleration forces of nearly 228 Gs and temperatures of 15,000°C while measuring winds exceeding 400 mph inside Jupiter. The orbiter found strong evidence of a global liquid-water ocean beneath Europa’s ice and revealed Io as the most volcanically active body in the Solar System.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government has frozen the broader Lockheed Martin F-35A purchase, committing to only 16 of an originally agreed 88 jets in a 2023 deal worth roughly C$19 billion. Ottawa is reportedly weighing Saab’s JAS 39 Gripen-E as an alternative with potential domestic assembly. The Pentagon paused U.S. participation in the Permanent Joint Board on Defense on May 18 — the bilateral forum created under the 1940 Ogdensburg Agreement that laid groundwork for NORAD.
In the next war, soldiers may look through a digital lens and see a landscape and a heads-up display that looks familiar to gamers: directional markers on a compass, messages from their command, and other icons and tags marking key individuals or locations in their field of vision.

The idea is that troops can see everything in front of them, plus other helpful features like a navigation compass or battlefield alerts.
Only 5% of fighter pilots in World War II achieved ace status — yet that 5% accounted for nearly half of all air-to-air kills during the war. In Korea, just 38 jet aces were responsible for more than a third of the 823 MiG-15s shot down by the Fifth Air Force. Air Force psychologist E. Paul Torrance studied 31 aces and 62 less successful combat pilots and identified four common traits: uber-aggressiveness, extreme self-confidence, fanatical devotion to flying, and high risk-taking.

The USS Gerald R. Ford has returned home. The carrier saw action off both Venezuela and Iran in an epic deployment, one of the longest of any aircraft carrier since World War II. With her sister ship, the USS John F. Kennedy, set to enter service next year, the mechanical and morale difficulties towards the end of Ford’s deployment have raised questions about the future of the CVN-78 design, and about the health of the US Navy’s carrier fleet more generally.

His mother sent cookies. She sent canned goods, too. And every month or so, somewhere in the rotation, a can of sardines showed up at whatever firebase Pvt. Mike Vining was operating out of in Vietnam.
He never ate a single one.
His little brother had told their mother that sardines were a good thing to send, certainly with his older brother’s best intentions in mind. So she sent them faithfully, alongside the cookies and the rest of it. Vining just traded them away quietly and never made much of it.
