I have no 2nd book in the works.
I do not have an agent.
I wrote for an academic press.
I do not get paid to be on TV.
An op-ed pays between 150 to 400 dollars; I make 20 times that teaching one course.
What is it you think I’m monetizing, Jesse? Which one of us is the hustler?
Ok, so we have no deal. Am I shocked? No. Surprised? Sure. Look, a bad deal that is rushed, compromised and does nothing to lessen the threat from
#NorthKorea
and our allies would be a historic mistake. No one more ever said it would be easy. And that’s ok.
Shame on the
@NBA
/
@ESPN
. They just recognized Taiwan as part of
#China
and endorsed their claim to the South China Sea. THE NINE-DASH LINE AHHHHHHHH
Sorry, you lost my money. This is just insane.
So H.R. MacMaster is still talking about the U.S. using military force on
#NorthKorea
. I have spent about 2,000 hours in computer simulations of what this looks like. Millions died—in every SINGLE scanerio. Seoul is nearly destroyed in all of them. Fool.
Good line in
@politico
: “The question was never going to be how Trump responded to a defeat. The question was how Republicans would respond to Trump’s response.”
Photo-op foreign policy on
#Ukraine
is a joke. While a show of support by Biden is great what is the end goal? What is the strategy? Do you know. I don’t—and I do this for a living.
A No-Fly Zone in
#Ukraine
is a non-starter. I wish it would solve the issues, however, World War III is not a solution. There are lots we can do for Ukraine, but let us please be reasonable.
Sadly, all you have to do is look at the evidence and not the words or walk backs. As I said weeks ago in the

,

:
Lots of questions about if Kim starts testing missiles again. I say no, as he understands that those bad optics for
@realDonaldTrump
may push him to strike. No advantage for
#NorthKorea
.
#HanoiSummit
This is insane. First of all, threatening what could be nuclear war is downright horrible. Also, its a trick you can only do once--since YOU JUST TOLD THE MEDIA (for the second time). Imagine if we have a real crisis, will Kim believe our intent?
I just spoke to a senior U.S. intelligence official. Not only are they watching for an ICBM watch, but Kim might instead test an IRBM. Also, the official said it would not shock anyone if they decided to test "multiple new missiles" in the next few days".
#NorthKorea
#ICBM
#DPRK
I spoke to two Senior White House Officials this am. Both made it clear when
#coronavirus
spike passes the administration will take the gloves off on
#China
. One explained: “Trump is furious and wants action.”
Just spoke to a Ukrainian military offical I have known for a few years now. He said the
#Javelin
anti-tank weapons have made a "massive difference" in the war against
#Russia
.
Endless Wars, especially those which are fought out of judgement mistakes that were made many years ago, & those where we are getting little financial or military help from the rich countries that so greatly benefit from what we are doing, will eventually come to a glorious end!
@MZHemingway
This should be celebrated by democrats and republicans. Our men and women served honorably, we achieved our goals and now we leave. That is the template for foreign interventions we need to follow--if we must do so.
I give all the credit in the world to
@Joy_Villa
for putting her personal story out there. This is the sort of person we need as a national leader in the conservative movement:
#NorthKorea
tested more missiles. They will continue to test missiles up to the start of joint military drills which start on August 5th and end the 22nd. They will test more after that.
This piece has balls.
@emeriticus
is on
@TuckerCarlson
all of the time for a reason. He says what conservatives want to cry out and say but won’t admit. Balls. Balls. Balls.
I spoke to several White House, State Department and intelligence sources this morning. None can confirm the reports of
#NorthKorea
killing senior officals. One White House offical: “Seems like fake news to me.”
As the world is obsessed with the
#NorthKorea
's nuclear weapons real change is happening in Korea. We should not down play this. Its real. Its hapenning.
#MoonMiracle
.
One of the reasons I am proud to be on
@FoxNews
is that we do have real debate. Look at the
#Syria
crisis. We have many voices for an against a strike. As my friend
@CurtMills
points out in an upcoming voice, the right is leading this debate. That should be news.
30 million jobs lost in just six weeks. To give you perspective, that's like New York State and Pennsylvania losing every single job. Gone.

lockdowns will kill our economy. We need a middle ground--or when we walk out of our homes there won't be anything left.
Rumors that

I am not sitting 2 blocks from the White House as a Senior Director at a think tank with 500 something opeds under my belt and lots of other personal accomplishments.
White House official explained to me on background that "Another Inter-Korean summit is inevitable. President Moon has done an amazing job in lessening tensions and we see his role only growing."

A smart piece here by
@GordonGChang
in
@TheNatlInterest
on what 'winning' a trade war with
#China
looks like. For Trump, its taking on China head-on--and forgetting talk of American decline:
Wifey Update: Jen's kidney function is now at 80%. For her age that is nearly 100% of what a normal person would have. As many of you know, she nearly died in 2015 and was given only weeks to live. She never gave up and she inspires me every day that no matter how hard life is!
The challenge for Trump has never been his ideas--it was always what he did when it mattered most. What he did in the heat of the moment when he saw the crowd on January 6th was tragic. He did not cause the Capitol attack, but he lit the spark for it.
Reconciliation between North and South Korea SHOULD BE THE FOUDNATION OF DENUCEARIZATION, not a problem. America needs to get out of the way, not in the way.

Some personal news: The
@CFTNI

#NorthKorea
#Korea
Lots of talk about
#NorthKorea
"needing" a summit. Sure they do, if they can convince
@realDonaldTrump
to soften on denuclearization--and that would be a massive mistake. North Korea wants survival before anything else--and nukes give them that. We are would be wise to remember.
I have to say,
@TimothyS
is amazing--and this piece might be his best to date. If you want to understand
#SouthKorea
and
#Japan
's problems, you can't do any better than starting here (in

#Ukraine
's armed forces are taking in a lot of Russian POWs--quite a few quit with little resistance. A senior Ukrainian army commander told me "The Russians we have captured tell us they don't even know why they are fighting and that morale isn't very good."
#Russia
.
It gets tiring. With
#Canada
to the north,
#Mexico
the the south and the Atlantic and Pacific we are a relatively safe nation. And yet, we fight wars of choice--not necessity--over and over again. A war against
#Iran
is not only stupid but guarantees our decline. Sad.
Let's not get super excited:
#NorthKorea
could go back to nuclear weapons testing and missile tests at anytime. This move will drive headlines--but does not change the reality of anything. We should all be hopeful, but lets not be stupid.
#NorthKorea
has no intention of giving up its nukes and will do all it can do to try and prove it is a "normal nation" while holding on to them. Do you really think Kim tested 3 ICBMs and a hydrogen bomb to just trade them away? No way.
Lots of talk that it would be a concession to sign a peace declaration with
#NorthKorea
. Yes, people are saying admitting a war that ended in 1953 is bad—a war many of my family fought in. Yes, the same old pundits are now against peace. You can’t make this stuff up.
#NorthKorea
is clearly upset that the U.S. and South Korea are conducting joint military exercises. Because of this, Pyongyang has refused to set a date for working-level talks with Washington, won’t accept food aid from Seoul and is now once again testing weapons systems that...
Spoke to several
#Ukraine
military officials. They keep wondering why
#Russia
is holding back, not launching more attacks form land, air and sea. One offical said “What is Putin afraid of?”
#Ukraine
commanders are leery to take credit for
#Russia
's lackluster combat performance. As one official explained to me: "Where is
#Putin
's heavy weapons, massive missile barrage strikes, massive artillery attacks? Putin thought he could beat us easily. Now, what does he do?"
It looks like
#NorthKorea
is doing all it can to signal that detente with the US and South Korea is dead. An ICBM test has been called a “redline” by two senior White House officals this week in meetings I had. I hope Kim acts with restraint.
Time for a peace declaration to end the Korean War—my latest op-ed.

That’s just not so. I have critiqued Trump on many occasions and many who support the
#Syria
move have. Explain what 2,000 troops will do there? What is their mission? How will they accomplish it? What is the timeline to accomplish? When will they leave?
Seems like the
#NorthKorea
talks produced little but more words to have more words about something that will never happen (nuclear disarmament). One has to wonder what happens now?
Ukrainian officer just explained to me: “We made it another day. However, while we have pushed back hard, we know
#Russia
could fire bomb our cities in minutes if they want to. They are holding back as they fear more sanctions.”
#UkraineRussiaWar
#Ukraine
And why does no administration ever consider a new policy? Because no U.S. president wants to be the one to admit that
#NorthKorea
is a nuclear weapons state and we have very few tools to make them give them up short of war. Most just hope the
#DPRK
will just collapse someday.
"Our government position is firm," Chung-in Moon, foreign policy adviser to South Korean President Moon Jae-in, told Fox News. "
#KimJongUn
is alive and well." No reason for the Moon Government to make itself look foolish if this was not solid.
So, if
@realDonaldTrump
was so willing to pull forces from
#Syria
, imagine the U.S.-ROK burden-sharing talks blowing up. Would Trump then threaten or even start pulling forces out of
#SouthKorea
? How would Seoul respond? What would
#NorthKorea
think? Food for thought...
All I can say is hope the media covers this--AND SHAME ON THE EDITOR AT
@Chosun
FOR APPROVING A PIECE WITH 1 ANONYMOUS SOURCE "That has knowledge of
#NorthKorea
"
So where did all those bs reports come from that
#KimJongUn
was dead or in a come come from? Where did all those reporters get those so-called sources from? Lies. Lesson: don’t ever print a single-sourced piece or believe one.
#NorthKorea
When you want something in your life so bad, when the world has beaten you down so brutally that you don’t know how you will ever recover, that is when miracles can happen. If you don’t give up on yourself, if you are willing to give it your all, nothing can stop you. Nothing.
People are flipping out about the “love” commment on Kim and
#NorthKorea
. Don’t people get it he does this to drive headlines? To keep himself, no matter what, in the news cycle. He’s not serious, folks. It’s part comedy, part trolling, part media strategy. It’s not policy. Relax
From Koyodo on
#NorthKorea
talks along DMZ: “U.S. officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said North Korea has expressed reluctance to ship all of its nuclear weapons and missiles outside the country.”
I did a little enhancing to the letter
#NorthKorea
's Kim Jong Un received from
@realDonaldTrump
. A few things: 1. It is, as you can see, of a decent length. 2. A big Trump signature at the end 3. What is underlined at the end in black? 4. Who underlined it? Trump or Kim?
