My book Becoming Kim Jong Un (@penguinrandom 2020) ended the story in 2019. I wrote this essay for @ForeignAffairs to cover 2020-2025 to show how Kim mastered Covid, China, and geopolitics.

“In the past, Washington has been able to work with Beijing and Moscow, albeit to a limited extent, to restrain Pyongyang and prevent a military confrontation,” writes @junghpak1. “But today, the North Korea challenge is both more formidable and more durable.” fam.ag/4vWVDZU

We’re long overdue for a tactical pause. Leaders at all levels need to assess the current situation for what it is, not what they want it to be. Take the temperature & rhetoric down, allow for a reset, de-escalate, adjust tactics, realign with the core mission - keeping us safe.

Love this profile of the Seattle-area man who managed buildings for biotech firms into his 50s when, seeking more, he was inspired to follow in the footsteps of one the area's last typewriter repairmen. Echoes of Charles D'Ambrosio's great Seattle short story, "Drummond & Son." nytimes.com/interactive/2025…
