Worldwide Wednesday: North Korea Fired Missiles, South Korea Went to Beijing, Denmark Pushed Back, and MORE

It’s Wednesday, and you know what that means…

Time for my rapid fire, mildly unhinged sound-off of current geopolitical events. And there’s a LOT of them this week:

In this video…🔎

🇩🇰 Denmark pushes back against the much-gossiped-about US takeover, creating friction inside NATO. What should you watch for and what practical outcomes could we see?

🇺🇸 The US pledged humanitarian assistance aimed at hunger and disease response in multiple countries, with new delivery mechanisms for lifesaving aid. Why does this matter and what changes when delivery mechanisms change?

🇰🇵 North Korea launched ballistic missiles for the first time in several months, condemned by many western-allied countries. What does this mean for the region and the rest of the world, and what should you watch for next?

🇰🇷 Meanwhile in news from their friendly southern neighbors, the South Korean president makes a visit to China. What is the agenda, and what does it mean for geopolitics in the Indopacific?

🇺🇦 Zelensky says that Ukraine’s 20-point peace plan should be put to a referendum, which would likely require a ceasefire. What does that mean and why does it matter at this time, and is such a vote even possible under wartime conditions?

🇾🇪 Yemen’s Saudi-backed government accused the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Counsel (STC) of restricting access in Aden and detaining citizens. What is the reporting saying, and what is actually going on in Aden?

 🇲🇲 Myanmar’s military government announced that it will release thousands of prisoners, including foreigners, for independent state amnesty during their current multi-stage election process. How is the rest of the world responding to the election and what does it mean? Why do countries use amnesty announcements and how does it affect regional diplomacy?

Like I said, lots going on this week! Make sure you check out the video for the full report.

Let’s talk Member Perks!

I am going to start livestreaming this month for my Gold tier members. I may open certain livestreams up to more tiers later on, but right now they are only available for my Gold members.

Let me know what kinds of things you’d like to hear me talk about in a livestream! I’ll probably start with a Q&A format and let it evolve, and I want you all to be heavily involved in how they progress.

Thank you as always for supporting me. I’m so excited for all the new things ahead for us this year.
