This month, retired U.S. Army Col. Brian Davis joins North Korea Unpacked with Jacco Zwetsloot to discuss lessons from his nearly 40-year career spanning some of the most consequential periods in U.S.-DPRK relations. He talks about how intelligence on North Korea is gathered and analyzed, how U.S. and South Korean military priorities shifted from conventional threats to nuclear and missile programs and why Pyongyang remains one of the world's most difficult intelligence targets.  Davis also reflects on the 2017 "fire and fury" period, the risks of military action against North Korea and what lessons Pyongyang may have drawn from conflicts in Ukraine, Iran and elsewhere. He also recounts one of the most unusual episodes of his career: crossing the Military Demarcation Line at Panmunjom to help service a fax machine gifted to North Korean counterparts. U.S. Army Col. Brian Davis is a former military intelligence officer, a role in which he analyzed DPRK military capabilities, threat environments and decision-making at an operational level. About the podcast: North Korea Unpacked with Jacco Zwetsloot is a monthly long-form interview series from the NK News Podcast, featuring in-depth conversations with experts and specialists on North Korea. The regular weekly NK News Podcast, hosted by Alannah Hill, continues to cover the latest developments in the North Korea news cycle.

Bert Mizusawa is a retired major general in the United States Army, serving in the Army from 1979 to 2015. Mizusawa also served in the United States Senate as a professional staff member and as a Senior Executive in the Pentagon, making him one of only a handful of individuals to serve at flag rank in the military as well as in both the legislative and executive branches. Mizusawa is also an attorney and is admitted to the bars of New York, the District of Columbia, Virginia and the United States Supreme Court. Awards: Distinguished Service Medal Silver Star Defense Superior Service Medal Legion of Merit Bronze Star Medal Combat Infantryman Master Parachutist Ranger Air Assault Joint Chiefs of Staff Identification Badge Humanitarian Service Medal 1983 Soviet defector incident Mizusawa led the Joint Security Force in a historic firefight against North Korean forces. Mizusawa was awarded the Silver Star for “exceptional valor and gallantry in action” while serving as the Commander of the Joint Security Force (JSF) Company at Panmunjom, Korea on 22 and 23 November 1984. His citation reads “In reaction to thirty attacking North Korean soldiers in pursuit of a Soviet defector, Captain Mizusawa's outstanding leadership and aggressive actions in leading his company while under fire were instrumental in defeating the enemy. Additionally, he personally led the defector to safety while under fire and deliberately, at great risk to himself, exposed himself to the enemy in front of his own troops to ensure the success of his company's combat action. Throughout the intense firefight, Captain Mizusawa displayed a complete disregard for his own personal safety while accomplishing his mission.” Some have credited the successful firefight and rescue of the Soviet defector, which unexpectedly did not result in a Soviet demarche, for convincing President Reagan to hold firm in his negotiations with the Soviet Union, which ultimately led to the end of the Cold War.

Tháng 5/2026, bộ Thống Nhất Hàn Quốc, với Sách Trắng Thống nhất, lần đầu tiên đưa ra quan điểm coi quan hệ giữa Seoul và Bình Nhưỡng là « quan hệ giữa hai Nhà nước ». Chính sách trên đây của Seoul được đưa ra trong bối cảnh Bắc Triều Tiên vừa sửa đổi Hiến pháp, từ bỏ mục tiêu thống nhất và phân định rõ lãnh thổ hai miền Nam - Bắc. Theo nhiều nhà quan sát, Hàn Quốc đang bị đặt trước áp lực phải sửa đổi triệt để Hiến pháp để cải thiện quan hệ với chế độ Bắc Triều Tiên, trong bối cảnh mọi nỗ lực ngoại giao không mang lại kết quả, kể từ thất bại của thượng đỉnh Kim Jong Un – Donald Trump ở Hà Nội năm 2019. *** Đã hơn bảy thập niên kể từ chiến tranh Triều Tiên (1950-1953), đối với đông đảo người dân Hàn Quốc, hai miền Nam Bắc tuy thuộc về hai chế độ khác nhau nhưng vẫn là một nước. Chủ trương tái thống nhất hai miền cũng được ghi rõ trong Hiến pháp Đại Hàn Dân Quốc năm 1987. Đối với xã hội Bắc Triều Tiên, lý tưởng tái thống nhất nằm trong học thuyết chính thống của chế độ họ Kim. Bắc Triều Tiên từ bỏ chủ thuyết tái thống nhất:  « Một cuộc cách mạng » Việc chế độ Kim Jong Un chính thức sửa đổi Hiến pháp từ bỏ mục tiêu tái thống nhất, coi Hàn Quốc là một quốc gia nước ngoài, là một thay đổi triệt để, kết thúc chủ trương thống nhất hai miền, được chính quyền hai bên đồng thuận với Tuyên bố Chung Nam - Bắc ngày 04/07 năm 1972 (The July 4 South-North Joint Communiqué). Theo điều 2 của Hiến pháp Bắc Triều Tiên, được sửa đổi hồi tháng 3/2026, « Lãnh thổ CHDCND Triều Tiên được xác định là vùng đất giáp với CHND Trung Hoa và Liên bang Nga ở phía bắc, và Cộng hòa Triều Tiên ở phía nam, bao gồm lãnh hải và không phận được thiết lập trên cơ sở này ». Mấy dòng chữ ngắn ngủi đang mang lại một đảo lộn. Trả lời trang mạng chuyên về Bắc Triều Tiên NK News, có trụ sở tại Seoul, chuyên gia về bán đảo Triều Tiên Andrei Lankov, Đại học Kookmin, Seoul, và giám đốc nhóm chuyên gia tư vấn về bán đảo Triều Tiên Korea Risk Group, coi đó gần như là « một cuộc cách mạng »:   « Bước đầu tiên là từ tháng 12/2023, Kim Jong-un bắt đầu thay đổi giọng điệu. Ông bắt đầu nói rằng việc thống nhất, ý tưởng về sự thống nhất, là một sai lầm. Tuyên bố này gần như là cách mạng, bởi vì nó làm suy yếu một phần tính chính danh của chính lãnh đạo Bắc Triều Tiên, vốn được thừa hưởng từ cha và ông nội mình, khi nói rằng sứ mệnh của họ đã thất bại, là sai lầm. Về cơ bản, ông nói rằng những gì mà họ từng tin tưởng là sai. Trong một thời gian dài, lý tưởng thống nhất này được trình bày như một sự kiện hạnh phúc (happy event) sẽ giúp giải quyết mọi vấn đề của đất nước. Như thể đó là mục tiêu cuối cùng của lịch sử. Điều này đúng với ít nhất là ở Bắc Triều Tiên và cả ở Hàn Quốc nữa, dù ở mức độ thấp hơn. Cánh tả triệt để ở Hàn Quốc vốn rất ngưỡng mộ ý tưởng này. Họ thậm chí còn tạo ra một lý thuyết gọi là “hệ thống chia cắt” (theory of the divided system), theo đó mọi vấn đề của xã hội Hàn Quốc về cơ bản đều là các hậu quả của việc đất nước bị chia cắt. Đột nhiên vào tháng 12/2023, Kim Jong-un tuyên bố rằng điều đó sẽ không xảy ra, rằng đó là một sai lầm. Xin nhấn mạnh rằng điều ấy cũng giống như việc nói với các tín đồ Thiên Chúa giáo rằng họ không nên chờ đợi ngày Chúa tái lâm nữa. » Xóa sạch các biểu tượng hướng đến tái thống nhất tại Bắc Triều Tiên Sau tuyên bố tháng 12/2023 của lãnh đạo Bắc Triều Tiên, chế độ Bình Nhưỡng đã thực thi hàng loạt biện pháp nhằm khẳng định đoạn tuyệt với đồng thuận hai miền về tái thống nhất tồn tại từ hơn nửa thế kỷ. Ngày 15/01/2024, Kim Jong Un ra lệnh phá hủy tất cả các biểu tượng thống nhất liên Triều, bao gồm cắt đứt vĩnh viễn các tuyến đường sắt nối hai miền.

Các tượng đài thống nhất khác trên toàn quốc bị phá hủy, các khẩu hiệu liên quan bị xóa bỏ. Kể từ đầu năm 2024, Bình Nhưỡng xóa bỏ các từ như « thống nhất », « hòa giải », « đồng bào » khỏi sách giáo khoa. Tháng 2/2025: Trung tâm đoàn tụ gia đình ở núi Kim Cang (Kumgang), nơi từng tổ chức các cuộc đoàn tụ cho hàng ngàn gia đình bị chia ly kể từ Chiến tranh Triều Tiên, bị phá hủy. Tháng 5/2025: Đại sảnh Thống nhất tại Bàn Môn Điếm (Panmunjom), nơi từng diễn ra các hội nghị thượng đỉnh liên Triều năm 2018, bị đổi tên. « Tái thống nhất hòa bình » : Ảo ảnh đồng sàng dị mộng Trước khi chế độ Bắc Triều Tiên cắt đứt với chủ trương tái thống nhất, đối với nhiều chuyên gia, lý tưởng này một mặt quá xa rời với thực tế, nhưng mặt khác lại được coi là điều bắt rễ sâu trong cả hai xã hội miền Nam và miền Bắc. Chuyên gia về bán đảo Triều Tiên Andrei Lankov mô tả tình trạng mâu thuẫn cao độ khi tâm lý « tái thống nhất hòa bình » là ảo ảnh đồng sàng dị mộng : « Bắc Triều Tiên, ngay từ khi thành lập, luôn xem mình là một phần của một quốc gia bị chia cắt. Lập trường chính thức của Bắc Triều Tiên luôn là chính phủ  Cộng hòa Dân chủ Nhân dân Triều Tiên là chính phủ hợp pháp duy nhất trên toàn bộ bán đảo Triều Tiên. Họ xem nhà nước, mà ta thường gọi là Hàn Quốc, chỉ là một phần lãnh thổ của nước Triều Tiên. Trong một thời gian dài, theo quan điểm đó, chính quyền Hàn Quốc không được xem là chính phủ của một nước có chủ quyền, mà chỉ là một tập đoàn phản bội được Mỹ nuôi. Điều thú vị là lập trường của Hàn Quốc về cơ bản là hình ảnh phản chiếu lập trường của miền Bắc (mirror image). Họ nói rằng CHDCND Triều Tiên thực chất không tồn tại, rằng đó là một thế lực phản quốc và về cơ bản quân đội Bắc Triều Tiên chỉ là một băng nhóm tội phạm và khủng bố, theo quan điểm chính thức. Và sớm hay muộn, Đại Hàn Dân Quốc cũng sẽ tái thống nhất đất nước, lý tưởng nhất là thông qua đàm phán hòa bình, ít nhất trên giấy tờ là như vậy. Thành thật mà nói, điều đó từ trước đến nay chẳng khác gì một ảo ảnh, hay có lẽ chỉ là một màn hỏa mù. Tôi nghĩ rằng bất kỳ một chính trị gia ở Nam hay Bắc mà thực sự tin vào điều đó thì hoặc phải cực kỳ điên rồ, hoặc rất ngây thơ. Nhưng luận điệu đó lại rất hiệu quả đối với công chúng mang tinh thần dân tộc chủ nghĩa, và chủ nghĩa dân tộc là một sức mạnh cực kỳ lớn ở cả hai miền. Đó là một phần của truyền thống có từ lâu đời. » Đọc thêm - Hòa giải Nam - Bắc Triều Tiên : Những cơ hội bị bỏ lỡ và hy vọng Chính sách « Hai Nhà nước » của BTT gây phân hóa cao độ tại Hàn Quốc Việc chế độ Bình Nhưỡng đoạn tuyệt với chính sách thống nhất hai miền gây phân hóa sâu sắc trong chính giới Hàn Quốc. Bộ trưởng bộ Thống Nhất Hàn Quốc Chung Dong Young là người đứng ở tuyến đầu. Từ mùa hè năm ngoái, bộ trưởng Thống nhất Hàn Quốc liên tục đưa ra các phát biểu cổ vũ cho việc công nhận Bắc Triều Tiên là một quốc gia độc lập, cùng lúc không từ bỏ chủ trương thống nhất, được ghi trong Hiến pháp. Trong một hội thảo hồi tháng 9/2025, bộ trưởng Chung Dong-young nhấn mạnh « hai miền Triều Tiên là hai quốc gia riêng, xét theo luật pháp quốc tế, và chính trị quốc tế », đã gia nhập Liên Hiệp Quốc bằng con đường riêng, và điều quan trọng là « chấm dứt sự thù địch giữa hai bên ». Dân biểu Ahn Cheol Soo của đảng đối lập cánh hữu PPP cáo buộc bộ trưởng Chung Dong Yong vi phạm Hiến pháp, khi công nhận lập trường về hai nhà nước trên bán đảo Triều Tiên, vì Điều 3 của Hiến pháp Hàn Quốc định nghĩa lãnh thổ Đại Hàn Dân Quốc bao gồm toàn bộ bán đảo. Lãnh đạo nhóm dân biểu đảng PPP, Song Eon Seok, cảnh báo rằng việc công nhận hai nhà nước sẽ làm đảo lộn quy chế pháp lý của những người tị nạn Bắc Triều Tiên đang sống tại Hàn Quốc, bởi việc Hiến pháp quy định lãnh thổ Hàn Quốc bao trùm toàn bộ bán đảo cho phép công nhận mọi người dân tị nạn Bắc Triều Tiên là công dân Hàn Quốc. Đọc thêm : Vì sao Bắc Triều Tiên bỏ mục tiêu tái thống nhất với Hàn Quốc ? Về vấn đề này, bản thân nội bộ chính quyền của tổng thống Lee Jae Myung cũng phân hóa cao độ. Ngoại trưởng Cho Hyun và cố vấn An ninh Quốc gia Wi Sung Lac bác bỏ việc công nhận Bắc Triều Tiên như một nhà nước độc lập, riêng biệt. Tuy nhiên, nhiều áp lực gia tăng buộc chính quyền Hàn Quốc xem xét sửa đổi Hiến pháp, với lý do chính, là chỉ có như vậy mới có thể tái lập được đối thoại thực sự với Bình Nhưỡng. Sửa Hiến pháp để thừa nhận thực tế, để có thể đối thoại với Bắc Triều Tiên Trong một cuộc tọa đàm về chính sách đối ngoại tại Seoul, ngày 03/12/2025, giáo sư Moon Chung-in, nguyên cố vấn an ninh của tổng thống, cho rằng Hàn Quốc cần xem xét sửa đổi điều 3 và điều 4 của Hiến pháp, do việc giảm bớt quy mô cuộc tập trận Hàn–Mỹ không đủ để thay đổi lập trường của Bình Nhưỡng. Ông dự đoán chỉ khi nào Seoul bắt đầu thảo luận công khai khả năng sửa đổi điều khoản về lãnh thổ, Bình Nhưỡng mới có thể quay lại bàn đối thoại. Hàng loạt nhà nghiên cứu hàng đầu về bán đảo Triều Tiên coi việc xem xét sửa đổi Hiến pháp để công nhận hai nhà nước trên bán đảo Triều Tiên là một hướng đi nghiêm túc, và quyết định nói trên của Bình Nhưỡng không chỉ là một thay đổi về chữ nghĩa hay một thủ đoạn chính trị, mà có những nền tảng xã hội sâu xa. Chuyên gia Andrei Lankov nói đến việc thu nhập chênh lệch quá lớn giữa hai miền Nam Bắc (gấp đến gần 30 lần), khiến việc thống nhất đe dọa sự tồn vong của chế độ Bắc Triều Tiên (tỉ lệ này ước tính từ 1:2 đến 1:3 giữa hai nước Đức, trước khi tái thống nhất năm 1989). Nhà nghiên cứu Kevin Gray, giáo sư Quan hệ Quốc tế - Đại học Sussex, Anh Quốc, trong công trình công phu « Quan hệ liên Triều và sự kết thúc của chủ trương thống nhất hòa bình: một cách tiếp cận về xung đột xã hội » (tháng 3/2026), nhấn mạnh đến nghịch lý là, sự thù địch giữa hai miền càng trở nên gay gắt chính do bởi niềm tin gượng ép vào một sự thống nhất, một dân tộc chung, mỗi bên xác định bản sắc của mình bằng việc biến bên kia thành ác quỷ (« define their self-identity through demonising the other Korea »). Những trở lực: Đảng cầm quyền không đủ đa số, vai trò của liên minh Mỹ - Hàn Việc sửa đổi điều 3 và điều 4 của Hiến pháp Hàn Quốc liên quan đến lãnh thổ và mục tiêu thống nhất đang vấp phải một trở lực lớn do việc đảng cầm quyền không có đủ 2/3 số ghế trong Quốc Hội. Một dự án cải cách Hiến pháp của tổng thống Lee Jae Myung, đưa ra cách nay ít tuần, bất thành do bị đối lập tẩy chay. Đề xuất sửa đổi Hiến pháp công nhận Bắc Triều Tiên, bị đối lập cánh hữu phản đối dữ dội, thậm chí đã không được đưa ra. Giới chuyên gia về bán đảo Triều Tiên ghi nhận sự đối lập sâu sắc, trong chính giới Hàn Quốc, khó hy vọng có được thỏa hiệp, giữa hai phe - « phe tự lực » (self-reliance camp), coi đối thoại liên Triều là con đường chủ đạo dẫn đến hòa bình, trong khi « phe liên minh » (alliance camp), coi quan hệ đối tác Hàn Quốc-Hoa Kỳ là nền tảng, để đủ sức răn đe Bắc Triều Tiên (bài « Reassessing South Korea's Foreign Policy Divide Under the Lee Administration » của Lakhvinder Singh, The Diplomat). Nhà nghiên cứu Vũ Khang, Đại học Boston, Mỹ, nhấn mạnh đến vai trò của nhóm làm việc Hàn Quốc-Hoa Kỳ phối hợp về chính sách đối với Bắc Triều Tiên và Bộ Tư lệnh Liên Hiệp Quốc (UNC) tại Hàn Quốc, với nòng cốt là Mỹ, khiến chính quyền Seoul khó chủ động xác lập chính sách về Bắc Triều Tiên (« Những trở ngại trong nước đối với chính sách Triều Tiên của Lee Jae-myung », The Diplomat, tháng 1/2026). Thế nan giải chiến lược của Hàn Quốc : Bị kẹt trong quan niệm nửa thế kỉ trước  Trong thời gian gần đây, đã diễn ra một thay đổi chưa từng có kể từ hơn nửa thế kỷ nay trong quan hệ giữa hai miền Nam Bắc bán đảo Triều Tiên. Lần đầu tiên, chế độ Bình Nhưỡng sửa đổi Hiến pháp, từ bỏ mục tiêu thống nhất hai miền, khẳng định miền Bắc và miền Nam là hai quốc gia riêng biệt. Chính giới Hàn Quốc bị đặt trước áp lực phải thay đổi. Trong lúc chính quyền của tổng thống  Lee Jae-myung có nhiều nỗ lực hướng đến cải tổ triệt để chính sách với Bắc Triều Tiên, việc thay đổi Hiến pháp, để làm cơ sở pháp lý cho điều chỉnh này, đang là điều bất khả trong hiện tại, đặc biệt do bị coi là khó tương thích với liên minh Mỹ - Hàn. Vấn đề quy chế cho người tị nạn Bắc Triều Tiên cũng là một trở ngại lớn. Đọc thêm : Hiệp định Quân sự Toàn diện bị hủy và nguy cơ xung đột vũ trang liên Triều Nhiều chuyên gia, chính trị gia, nhà quan sát cảnh báo rằng, nếu tiếp tục để bị kẹt trong đòi hỏi chủ quyền và lý tưởng thống nhất như từ nửa thế kỉ trước, chính quyền Seoul và xã hội Hàn Quốc có nguy cơ rơi vào thế bị động kéo dài trong chiến lược với Bình Nhưỡng. Đây là điều đặc biệt nguy hiểm trong bối cảnh biến động địa - chính trị dữ dội, thế đối đầu giữa các đại cường Mỹ - Trung  ngày càng khó lường, xu thế chạy đua vũ trang gia tăng có thể khiến căng thẳng trên bán đảo Triều Tiên bùng phát thành xung đột, đặc biệt trong bối cảnh chế độ Bình Nhưỡng tăng cường hệ thống vũ khí hạt nhân và hạ ngưỡng sử dụng vũ khí hạt nhân.

Segment 8 — Cutting the Funding: Policy Recommendations for Containing North Korea — Bruce Bechtol — Bechtol argues that effective containment policy requires avoiding kinetic military operations and instead targeting North Korea's financial apparatus to destabilize the regime. This strategy requires rigorous enforcement of existing international sanctions, deployment of advanced cyber warfare capabilities, seizure of smuggling vessels (though acknowledging potential escalation risks), and selective precision strikes targeting critical infrastructure supporting weapons proliferation. 1951 PANMUNJOM

  Is the bitter war in Ukraine soon to wind down now that a peace settlement is being negotiated (think a Panmunjom-style compromise, not Munich-style appeasement), and how should America prepare for economic and military parity with China? In an episode devoted solely to viewers' questions, Hoover senior fellows Sir Niall Ferguson, John Cochrane and H.R. McMaster delve into matters ranging from those somber (allaying twenty-somethings' climate alarmism, “ideal” interest rates, the future of tank warfare as well as AI's redesign of future workforces) to those more lighthearted (H.R.'s service nickname, the artist behind John's wall hangings, and how the fellows would ride out a future pandemic). Finally, on the eve of America's Thanksgiving holiday, the fellows count their blessings – especially “Papa” Ferguson, who recently joined John (aka, “Blah-Blah” to his grandchildren) and H.R. (likewise, his grandkids' “Papa”) as a first-time grandfather. Subscribe to GoodFellows for clarity on today's biggest social, economic, and geostrategic shifts — only on GoodFellows.

This episode plunges into the brutality of static warfare. We explore the Chinese Spring Offensive of 1951 and the desperate defensive battles fought to hold the line, looking at the heroic and horrific three-day stand of the Glorious Glosters at the Battle of Imjin River—a sacrifice often credited with saving Seoul, and the Battle of Kapyong where the 27th Commonwealth Brigade fought their final battle. Saul and Roger also analyse the new reality: a "war of inches" fought over insignificant ground, where immense human cost was exacerbated by the massive, destructive scale of American area bombing.As the fighting raged, armistice talks began at Panmunjom, but quickly stalled on a single, intractable issue: the fate of the Prisoners of War. We dissect the controversial "voluntary repatriation" policy—the West's insistence on not forcing men back to Communism—which turned POW camps into ideological battlegrounds and peace negotiations into a two-year agony.

Au début des années 1950, c'est pendant la guerre de Corée (1950-1953) que l'arme nucléaire a failli redevenir une arme de champ de bataille. Après l'offensive nord-coréenne de juin 1950, le débarquement d'Inchon permet aux forces de l'ONU, commandées par le général Douglas MacArthur, de reprendre l'avantage. Mais lorsque la Chine entre massivement dans la guerre à la fin de l'année, tout bascule : les troupes onusiennes reculent, Séoul est menacée, et l'état-major américain envisage des options jusque-là impensables.MacArthur propose alors de frapper les ponts et les bases chinoises en Mandchourie avec des bombes atomiques tactiques, afin de couper les lignes d'approvisionnement le long du fleuve Yalou. Il évoque même l'idée d'un « cordon sanitaire » radioactif, une zone contaminée rendant certains passages infranchissables pendant des mois. À Washington, le Conseil de sécurité nationale étudie sérieusement plusieurs scénarios d'emploi. Le Strategic Air Command met en alerte ses escadrons de bombardiers B-29, tandis que des composants de bombes sont discrètement transférés vers Guam et Okinawa. Des vols d'entraînement simulant des frappes nucléaires sont effectués — preuve que l'hypothèse n'était pas purement théorique.Mais à la Maison-Blanche, le président Harry Truman s'inquiète. Depuis 1949, l'Union soviétique possède elle aussi la bombe atomique. Employer l'arme en Corée risquerait de provoquer une riposte soviétique ou une escalade incontrôlable menant à une nouvelle guerre mondiale. Le Premier ministre britannique Clement Attlee, alarmé, se rend même à Washington en décembre 1950 pour dissuader les Américains de franchir la ligne rouge. Finalement, Truman tranche : il refuse l'usage du nucléaire et, face aux déclarations publiques de MacArthur en faveur d'un élargissement du conflit, le limoge le 11 avril 1951.Son successeur, le général Matthew Ridgway, parvient à stabiliser le front, et la guerre s'enlise dans une longue impasse. L'administration Eisenhower, en 1953, continuera d'agiter la menace nucléaire pour hâter les négociations, mais sans passer à l'acte. Le 27 juillet 1953, un armistice est signé à Panmunjom.Cet épisode reste un tournant majeur : pour la première fois, une puissance dotée de la bombe choisit l'autolimitation. Face au risque d'apocalypse, les États-Unis ont compris que le coût moral, politique et stratégique d'une frappe nucléaire dépassait de loin tout avantage militaire immédiat. Hébergé par Acast.

D. 27. juli 1953 blev en våbenhvile mellem Nord- og Sydkorea indgået i pagoden ved grænsebyen Panmunjom. Det var den foreløbige afslutning på tre års blodig krig med op mod 3 millioner dræbte. Det var også Den Kolde Krigs første reelle 'stedfortræderkrig' mellem de kommunistiske og de demokratiske lande. Nordkorea, Sovjetunionen og Kina imod Sydkorea, USA og et stort FN-kontingent, bl.a. med dansk humanitær deltagelse. 70 år efter våbenstilstanden er krigen mellem de to koreanske stater ikke officielt afsluttet, og den koreanske halvø er et af klodens mest oprustede områder. Hvordan fremstiller de to ærkefjender krigen i deres respektive nationale historieskrivning? Hvordan forløb krigen? Og er historiefortællingen med til at fastholde de to parter på krigsstien? Det er nogle af spørgsmålene i denne uges Kampen om historien, hvor Adam Holm taler med journalisterne Flemming Ytzen og Morten Søndergaard Larsen, der begge har et indgående kendskab til forholdet mellem Nord- og Sydkorea.

(Frasier S3E17 High Crane Drifter)22. During their time in Korea, Marty cheated death. (Frasier S9E24 Moons Over Seattle)23.

The Korean War “ended” exactly fifty years ago at Panmunjom. On July 27, 1953, United States and United Nations commanders on one side, and the North Koreans and Chinese commanders on the other, agreed to an immediate cessation of hostilities. Most histories of the Korean War stop there. Yet the war merely ended in a truce, not a proper peace agreement. The specter of conflict have loomed over the Korean Peninsula in the five decades since, changing development in both North and South Korea as each tries to secure their own future in a conflict that–in theory–could return at any point. We're joined by Michael J. Seth, who joins the show to talk about this development and his latest book, Korea at War: Conflicts That Shaped the World (Tuttle, 2023). The book is about much more than just the war itself, as Seth looks at Korea's pre- and post-war history, and how South Korea is unique in charting its own development while still, technically, in a state of war. Michael J. Seth is Professor of History at James Madison University. He has authored several books on Korean history including A Concise History of Modern Korea: From the Late Nineteenth Century to the Present (Rowman & Littlefield: 2010), A Concise History of Korea: From the Neolithic to the Nineteenth Century (Rowman & Littlefield: 2006), and Education Fever: Politics, Society and the Pursuit of Schooling in South Korea (University of Hawaii Press: 2002).

Marzo de 1953. Stalin ha muerto. Tras largas horas agonizando en su dacha, el Padrecito de los pueblos ya no es más que un cadáver embalsamado. Sus sucesores potenciales se agolpan ansiosamente para presentar sus respetos. En Berlín del este, una ola de esperanza inunda a los trabajadores alemanes que se alzan contra el Partido. Esta esperanza es rápidamente aplastada por los tanques soviéticos. En Asia, los acalorados conflictos están llegando a su fin. Tras el armisticio en Panmunjom, Estados Unidos abandona Corea sin gloria alguna. Las pocas tropas que permanecen allí aguardan con impaciencia la visita de Marilyn Monroe. Mientras tanto, en Indochina, otro ejército se prepara para un evento mucho menos excitante. Francia alberga la esperanza de detener al Viet Minh en Dien Bien Phu, un pueblo rodeado de montañas a casi 300 kilómetros de Hanoi. Pero los generales franceses no sospechan que en ese preciso instante el general Giap del Viet Minh y sus consejeros chinos están colaborando en un plan de batalla que se basa en una trampa: permitir que las fuerzas francesas se asienten en el valle de Dien Bien Phu, rodearlas y destruirlas.

The Joint Security Area on the inter-Korean border used to be a popular tourist destination, a place where North and South Korean soldiers stare each other down and visitors can actually step over the Military Demarcation Line within the confines of the famous blue buildings. But since the start of COVID-19, the U.N. Command overseeing the area has prohibited most visits. Recently, however, members of the NK News team joined other media for a special tour of Panmunjom on the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), recording an exclusive podcast from what past U.S. presidents have called “freedom's frontier.” This week, host Jacco Zwetsloot (@JaccoZed) and NK News CEO Chad O'Carroll (@chadocl) go inside the Joint Security Area to investigate reports of mass starvation in North Korea, how communications pass between the two sides, when the DPRK does (and doesn't) answer the phone and what's changed during the pandemic. You can read more about what NK News learned during the JSA visit in the following article: "No signs of death and starvation at inter-Korean border, UNC officials say."

Säkerhetspolitik i stort och smått. Vi tittar på vad som avhandlades under det nyligen avslutade toppmötet mellan USA, Japan och Sydkorea.  Dessutom återknyter vi till en tidigare podd då vi pratade om varför det går så trögt att utveckla geotermisk energi i Japan. Hela landet ligger ju bokstavligen talat på en gigantisk varmvattenberedare. Det bubblar och pyser överallt. Varför använder man inte energin i större utsträckning ? Vi har träffat Gunnar Svensson - svensk ingenjör som för några år sedan var med och lanserade ett svenskutvecklat system för att ta till vara Japans geotermiska energi .  Sist av allt berättar Göran om ett minnesvärt besök i byn Panmunjom på gränsen mellan Sydkorea och Nordkorea.

On this day in 1953, with the Korean War winding down, both sides of the conflict began to exchange their remaining prisoners.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Joe Barna of northern Pennsylvania was drafted at the age of 21 to go to South Korea in 1951. While in the Marines he carried a Flamethrower while in a mountain region outside of Panmunjom.  Joe spent 13 months in and getting out in 1953. During his time in country, he received 2 purple hearts, one of which was for being bayonetted, he talks about this experience and the Corpsman who saved his life, Jackie Kilmer. Joe also talks about his time after the service and where he worked, where he took a job at PPL and getting a significant raise over his last job where he made $2.18/hr in 1956.

Jeff & Ryan welcome the creative team behind the 1988 documentary Korean War: The Untold Story. We discuss the behind-the-scenes journey that took producer Arnold Shapiro, writer/director/producer Carol L. Fleisher, and host Loretta Swit to Panmunjom, Seoul, and the 38th Parallel in Korea. We dedicate this episode to the memory of Korean War veterans Frank Muetzel, Ed Reeves, Bob Lunney, and Vern Wright.

In this episode of the ChinaPower Podcast, Dr. David Finkelstein joins us to discuss the PLA's new joint doctrine and how it will impact China's military modernization. Dr. Finkelstein describes his research process behind his new report and predicts the major new components of the doctrine. He argues that the concept of an integrated joint force represents a major doctrinal development within the PLA and is a response to a paradigm shift in how warfighting is conducted in an information-centric era. In addition, Dr. Finkelstein emphasizes how the joint doctrine will enhance the PLA's abilities to engage in all types of military operations, including high-end conventional operations. Lastly, Dr. Finkelstein analyzes the possible internal and external challenges the PLA will face when implementing the new doctrine, and how this timeline aligns with China's military modernization goals for 2027, 2035, and 2049.   Dr. Finkelstein is a vice president of the Center for Naval Analyses (CNA) and director of CNA's China & Indo-Pacific Security Affairs Division. He is a long-time student of Chinese military and security issues, serving as a member of the National Committee on US-China Relations (NCUSCR) and the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS). A retired US Army Officer, Dr. Finkelstein has spent his career in several tactical assignments, to include in Panmunjom, Korea, and in various China and Asia-related positions at the Pentagon, and has taught Chinese security issues at West Point. He is the author of “The PLA's New Joint Doctrine: The Capstone of the New Era Operations Regulations System.”

In this week's podcast, Lieutenant Colonel Sean Morrow talks about his unique stories and experiences during his time as commander of the United Nations Security Battalion from June 2018 to June 2020, and as the host of U.S. President Donald Trump during the Panmunjom meeting.

How did a tiny village in the Korean mountains come to symbolise the north and south split? The answer lies in the year 1953, when a piece of paper was signed to end what became known as The Forgotten War. But Colin Thackery, Korean War veteran and oldest ever winner of Britain's Got Talent, remembers it well. Memories of gunfire, bodies, starving children, American soldiers playing the piano, frostbite. It's a remarkable story. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Cuántas veces hemos escuchado aquella vieja frase, "la historia es una historia de guerras"; y sí, los conflictos sangrientos son moneda corriente en la larga historia de la humanidad, pero así como hemos tenido batallas memorables, actos heroicos e ingenio militar a lo largo y ancho de todo el mundo, también existen historias de batallas poco conocidas y que no son recordadas con mucho orgullo por los países que protagonizaron estos enfrentamientos... Hoy realizaremos un recorrido por tres batallas absurdas, desde Kiska, en la gélida Alaska; pasando por Panmunjom entre las dos Coreas y culminando en Karánsebes, al este de Europa. ¡Acompáñennos en ese peculiar recorrido! ¡Gracias a nuestros Patreons que hacen posible llegar semana a semana con los episodios de Por las Rutas!

TM Views: Second anniversary of Panmunjom declaration Guest: Professor Kim Kee-chang, Korea University Law School

Ayer se produjo un acontecimiento histórico en la frontera entre las dos Coreas, en el corazón mismo de la zona desmilitarizada de Panmunjom. A las 15:30 hora local Donald Trump salió de la caseta del lado sur al tiempo que Kim Jong-Un lo hacia desde el norte, ambos se dirigieron a la línea de demarcación y el dictador norcoreano le invitó cortésmente a dar un paso y cruzar la frontera. Fue un paso histórico. Nunca antes, en los 71 años de historia de la República Popular Democrática de Corea un presidente estadounidense había puesto un pie en su suelo. Luego, tras posar para los fotógrafos, la pareja se encerró para una reunión privada, una reunión anormalmente larga de tres cuartos de hora, lo que indica que las negociaciones marchan bien, al menos en la parte que tienen que ir bien, que es la relativa al programa nuclear norcoreano. Pero esto no es más que una mera suposición ya que no ha trascendido nada de lo que se traen entre manos.

There, he announced that nuclear talks between the two countries would restart within weeks. The 50-minute meeting was Trump’s third with Kim. Stocks surged today on news that President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping had agreed on a truce on the trade war between the two countries. Trump agreed to ease restrictions on Chinese tech giant Huawei’s US technology purchases and to hold off on extending tariffs on virtually all Chinese goods, while Xi agreed to resume trade talks and to buy an unspecified amount of US farm products. Meanwhile, pro- and anti-government protestors both had marches in Hong Kong today. Jude Woodward, the author of the book “The US vs. China: Asia's new Cold War?”, joins the show.

It was quite a week for North Korea watchers. With U.S. President Donald Trump's shock decision on Thursday to withdraw from a planned summit with Kim Jong Un, it felt to many that a return to the days of “fire and fury” was all but inevitable. But an uncharacteristically diplomatic statement from DPRK official Kim Kye Gwan followed, and as the weekend progressed it appeared more and more likely that the June 12 meeting may be back on, with a surprise inter-Korean summit and the news that a U.S. delegation had begun working-level talks with the North Koreans on the northern side of Panmunjom. Hoping to parse the break-neck developments on the Korean peninsula, NK News CEO Chad O'Carroll, Managing Editor Oliver Hotham, and Senior Correspondent Dagyum Ji gathered on Monday for a rapid response podcast.

Kim Jong-un became the first North Korean leader to step foot in South Korea at the Panmunjom Summit in April 2018, setting the stage for President Trump’s meeting with Kim in June. Just days after the summit, Paul Haenle spoke with Dr. Tong Zhao, a fellow in the Nuclear Policy Program based at the Carnegie–Tsinghua Center for Global Policy, on the significance of the Kim-Moon meeting and its implications for China and the United States.

On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Brian Becker and John Kiriakou are joined by Gregory Elich, a member of the Solidarity Committee for Democracy and Peace in Korea and the author of, “Strange Liberators: Militarism, Mayhem, and the Pursuit of Profit,” and author and professor Tim Beal whose most recent book is “Crisis in Korea.” In one of the most important diplomatic breakthroughs in a generation, the leaders of North and South Korea met yesterday and pledged to denuclearize the peninsula and to formally end the Korean War. Even the most optimistic observers were surprised at the scope of the meeting, which took place on the South Korean side of the border at Panmunjom. President Trump later issued a statement saying that he was looking forward to meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in the coming weeks or months. On today’s regular Friday segment covering the upcoming midterm elections, Brian and John take a look at a series of upcoming special elections, a Republican win in Arizona, and the possibility of Ohio Governor John Kasich running against Donald Trump in the Republican primaries. Jacqueline Luqman and Abdus Luqman, the co-editors-in-chief of Luqman Nation, join the show. The House Intelligence Committee has completed and issued its report, concluding that there was no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. The Democrats issued a dissent. And The Daily Beast has suspended columnist and MSNBC host Joy Reid after dozens of homophobic statements were added to her old blog on the MSNBC website. Reid claims that the blog was hacked, her supporters suggested may be that “Russians” were responsible, and the FBI is now investigating. But Daily Beast cybersecurity reporters, and the website’s webmaster, say there is no evidence of any hack. Also, the corporate-owned media is making a great deal of the emails hacked from the Russian attorney who met in July 2016 with Donald Trump. Jr. Brian and John speak with Joe Lauria, editor-in-chief of Consortium News and author of the book “How I Lost, By Hillary Clinton.” German Chancellor Angela Merkel is making a one-day trip to Washington today to meet with President Trump and to discuss the Iran nuclear deal and pending US tariffs on German steel and aluminum. Most media outlets say that the meetings will have none of the warmth seen during French President Macron’s visit to Washington earlier this week. Reiner Braun, co-president of the International Peace Bureau and Sputnik News political analyst and producer Walter Smolarek, join the show. A recent spate of infections linked to romaine lettuce is now the largest multistate foodborne E. coli outbreak since 2006. At least 84 people have been affected in 19 states by contaminated lettuce originating in Yuma, Arizona. What needs to change about our agricultural system to make it safer? Patty Lovera, food and water policy director at Food & Water Watch, joins Brian and John. An international conference aimed at raising aid for victims of the Syria conflict raised just over half of what the United Nations says is needed to support refugees. Just $4.4 billion was raised. The US has pledged $1 billion but has not delivered any of that. Sputnik News political analyst and producer Walter Smolarek joins the show.The hosts continue the regular segment of the worst and most misleading headlines. Brian and John, speak with Steve Patt, an independent journalist whose critiques of the mainstream media have been a feature of his blog Left I on the News, which you can find at lefti.blogspot.com, and Loud & Clear producer Nicole Roussell.

Siamo arrivati alla puntata numero 8, il numero fortunato per eccellenza nella cultura cinese, sia per correlazioni astrali collegate al libro dei Ching, sia perché in cinese l'8 si dice “ba” che assomiglia a “fa”, cioè ricchezza, fortuna, benessere. Addirittura, le Olimpiadi di Pechino iniziarono proprio l'8 agosto 2008 alle 8 di sera.Intanto, gli eventi in Asia Nord-Orientale si susseguono rapidamente: non si erano ancora spenti gli echi della visita di Kim Jong-un a Pechino e due giorni fa è arrivata la notizia che Corea del Nord e del Sud terranno il loro primo vertice da oltre un decennio il 27 aprile. Se tutto filerà liscio da qui ad allora, il presidente sudcoreano Moon Jae-in e Kim si incontreranno quindi nella “Casa della Pace” sul lato meridionale del villaggio di confine di Panmunjom. E quello, si auspica, sarà un altro momento chiave. Intanto, però, c'è molto da dire sull'incontro "non ufficiale" tra Kim Jong-un e il presidente cinese Xi Jinping, dalla denuclearizzazione della penisola coreana ai rapporti di forza regionali.PLAYLISTMoranbong – 배우자 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycdDHP7QfWoAM444 – Shen Xian Yao | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aQ6shtZU0g

Vi besöker svenskarna som arbetar i den demilitariserade zonen mellan Nord- och Sydkorea, och tar pulsen på 1700-talets Kanton, handelsmetropolen där Kina mötte Europa. I mer är 60 år har Sverige suttit på första parkett, som fredsövervakare vid gränsen mellan Nord- och Sydkorea. Och trots att fredskommissionen förlorat sin praktiska betydelse sedan tjugo år håller man fortfarande möten varje vecka utan några deltagande nordkoreanska representanter. Vetenskapsradion Historia besöker spökkommissionen i Panmunjom. Det är ju lite tråkigt att arbeta utan att få någon som helst feedback från sin motpart, men det är så det är, berättar Klas Gröndal som arbetat vid kommissionen i den demilitariserade zonen.Dessutom besöker vi 1700-talets Kanton, dåtidens handelsmetropol, dit bland annat Sverige lockades för att handla med kinesiskt porslin, té och siden. Historikern Lisa Hellman har undersökt hur den här tidiga globaliserade staden egentligen fungerade på markplanet, i de personliga möten som skedde mellan svenska och kinesiska handelsmän för nära 300 år sedan.Programledare är Tobias Svanelid.
