On December 11, 2025, Chun Jae-soo arrived at Incheon International Airport. He had just returned from New York, having successfully bid for South Korea to host the 2028 United Nations Ocean Conference, the largest global talkfest on maritime sustainability. His gait was brisk. He was upbeat. So, it came as a surprise when he told the gaggle of journalists that he was resigning as minister of ocean and fisheries. An allegation recently surfaced that he received 40 million won (about $26,000) in cash plus two designer watches from a cult known for bribing politicians for its pet projects. He categorically…

The Army’s proliferating drone use is exacerbating the modern problem of keeping everything charged. One combat team is testing ways to use its light Infantry Squad Vehicles as mobile charging stations.“As we field technology, power generation becomes increasingly problematic. The [Integrated Tactical Network], all the soldier-borne equipment, all require batteries that have to be recharged. [Enhanced Night Vision Goggles] require batteries, particularly to use thermals,” said Col. Ryan Bell, commander of the 3rd Mobile Brigade Combat Team in the 101st Airborne Division, of lessons from an April training rotation at the Joint Readiness Training Center at Fort Polk, Louisiana. Finding ways…

On June 17, U.S. President Donald Trump and Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian signed an interim deal to end the war, reopening the Strait of Hormuz and lifting the oil sanctions that had crippled Iran’s economy. As the Iran war moves into the final stages of negotiation, the episode has surfaced the strategic calculations of every actor drawn into it.
