Time to Influence Regime Change in North Korea
With its efforts to get attention on a global stage escalating, it is time for leaders in Japan, South Korea, and the United States to join together in strategizing a plan to affect regime change in the desolate country.
Whether its the violation of human rights both towards its own people and those from countries like the United States, or its continued pursuit of missile attack capabilities, the world cannot afford to let Kim Jong-Un to continue to rule. Nor anyone associated with or subscribing to his brutal tactics.
As the world has seen, sanctions have proven feckless and it is time for all of those who fight for peace and prosperity in this world to rid one of its greatest threats.

Latest Airport Threat Raises More Questions About Airport Security
Recent reports by Australian security services that they foiled a planned explosive attack against the Sydney airport, one of the busiest in the world. The would be attackers were arrested by authorities in the country's capital.

As is the case in the aftermath of learning of such a plan, international travelers will likely see increase security measures.
With security already tight and recent reports suggesting that TSA in the U.S. has missed many signs over the last year, to what lengths must we go to ensure we are fully protected? And with the enemy ever evolving to counter, will full protection ever be possible?

Line in the Sand Must Be Drawn for Pakistan
In his recent speech laying out the United States path forward in Afghanistan, President Trump also put Pakistan on notice given their less than subtle role in support and indifference to western terrorist enemies. To include the Taliban and al-Qa'ida. America's relationship with Pakistan has long been tenuous, requiring delicate management given the hostilities against the west by many among Pakistan's populace, and the United States' need to leverage Pakistan's role in helping us identify terrorists. Add to it Pakistan's nuclear program and the lawless areas that hide long sought enemies, and the United States finds itself having no choice to but to make clear where the line in the sand is.

Why Does the United States Continue to Support Pakistan?
Since 1947 the US has supported Pakistan. For decades the US taxpayer have sent billions of dollars to Pakistan. Maybe it is time to ask ourselves, just what have we benefited from our efforts. In this age of Jihad and the radical Islamic conflicts that have engulfed the world, it is time to assess who is an ally and who is not.
Pakistan is home to one of the largest populations of Muslims. Pakistan is also a nuclear state, the only predominantly Muslim nation to hold that status. Pakistan seems to be more interested in courting our enemies than the US who so generously supports them with aid. Pakistan sold its technology to the worst promoters of terrorism on the planet through black market deals. They support the Haqqani network, a group of extremists fighting directly against the interests of the US. Pakistan harbored and protected Osama bin Laden for years while publicly denying any knowledge of his whereabouts. He lived only a few miles from Pakistan's premier Military Academy. Pakistan promotes and strongly imposes Sharia Law and persecutes Pakistani Christians. They are working directly with Iran and North Korea on trade and weapons, particularly nuclear weapons.
So why are they considered an ally and why are we still supporting them? That is a question we must answer.

Four American Citizens are Being Detained and Held as Bargaining Chips in Pyongyang
Imagine your freedom being taken away without warning. No US embassy to call, no help coming to your aid and no chance for justice. Imagine being charged convicted and sentenced to years in prison of hard labor in a North Korean prison. Your crime? You are an American guilty of crimes against the State, crimes you did not commit.
Kim Kak Song, a teacher, Tony Kim, also a teacher at the Pyongyang University of Science and Technology and 21-year-old student Otto Warmbier all fall into this category. Warmbier was sentenced to 15 years hard labor for removing a poster. Now add to the mix Kim Dong Chul, a resident of Fairfax Va., who ran a hotel service. He is serving ten years at hard labor.
These American citizens are hostages of an out of control regime. North Korea is holding them as bargaining chips or as shields against military action. The North Korean government under Kim Jong-un is playing with fire as they push ever closer to a tipping point.

ISIS Presence In Afghanistan Should Not Be Discounted
Recent attacks supported by and directed by the Islamic State in Afghanistan may signal a troubling trend for the war-torn country, and at a time when U.S. forces reconstitute their approach to thwarting terrorist rule for good. A growing presence by ISIS could signify problems not only within Afghanistan, but also have ramifications for the group's operations in other parts of the world.
As ISIS looks to put its stamp on the over a decade long war, its ability to introduce its brand of terror into the fold may bring it added exposure useful for recruiting, and allow it to establish alliances with other groups entrenched in the government and tribal lands.
