Suzanne Scholte: An “End of War Declaration” on the Korean Peninsula spells trouble for the US

With David Wurmser, Joseph Bosco, Grant Newsham and Suzanne Scholte

DAVID WURMSER, Director, Center for Security Policy’s Program on Global Anti-Semitism, former Middle East Advisor to Vice President Dick Cheney, retired, US Navy Reserves Lieutenant Commander:

• Multi-billions of dollars have been released to Iran as the Biden administration tries to “entice” the Mullahs to come back to the negotiating table
• David Wurmser: “Why would you be our friend if it comes at the cost of being overthrown?”
• Dr. Wurmser reasons that should the US abandon an ally, like Saudi Arabia, with a questionable human rights record, who’s to say that a revolution would not take hold, turning said state into a fundamentally destabilized enemy

JOSEPH BOSCO, former China Country Desk Officer, Office of the Secretary of Defense, former Director of Asia-Pacific Disaster Relief and Humanitarian Affairs, Fellow, Institute for Corea-American Studies (ICAS) and the Institute for Taiwan-American Studies:

• Joseph Bosco: We are at a “pivotal inflection point” in US-China relations
• China’s 2015 Anti-Secession law provides the legal framework for China to invade Taiwan

GRANT NEWSHAM, Senior Fellow, Center for Security Policy, Senior Research Fellow at Japan Forum for Strategic Studies, Contributor, Asia Times, @NewshamGrant

• Grant Newham: We don’t want to go to war with a nuclear armed China – But will there be war at all?
• The US and Japan need to officially establish an office to coordinate the joint defense of Japan’s disputed island chains
• Newsham: Moon Jae In’s government sees America as the problem and is sympathetic towards the North Korean and Chinese governments

SUZANNE SCHOLTE, President, Defense Forum Foundation, Chairwoman, North Korea Freedom Coalition:

• An End of War Declaration between North and South Korea would give rise to anti-American sentiments in South Korea
• Suzanne Scholte: The Moon government is more interested in appeasing the North Korean regime than standing up for the human rights of all Korean people
