    In my ⁦@ForeignAffairs⁩ article, as the US heads into November's elections, I talk about potential October surprise from Kim Jong Un and why it makes sense from his perspective. Moscow and Beijing meanwhile allow Kim to act with newfound impunity.

    1. THREAD. Bolton has a lot to say about Trump and N Korea in his book. It hasn’t all been reported in the book coverage. A few highlights from his “Singapore Sling” chapter follow...

    I tried to vote today in NYC. I found a very long line (many blocks long) in the rain & cold. In the end, I failed to vote because I had to leave for a meeting. Inspiring to see so many voting but dispiriting to see how hard it is. Will try again tomorrow. Open more locations!

    “‘I did the Tom Cruise peel before Tom Cruise did.” What a delightful ⁦@WSJ⁩ interview with the CIA’s former chief of disguise.

    My former colleague Michael Collins from CIA East Asia Mission Center sums up Xi’s goal: China under the current leadership fundamentally seeks to replace the US as the leading power in the world. #AspenSecurityForum

    Yes. While Kim Jong-un is rational, how can he have a clear understanding of consequences of his decisions/actions when no advisor around him can tell him he might be wrong about something?

    DCIA Pompeo: We think Kim is a rational actor, but we fear he’s not getting sound advice from those around him. #RNDF

    .@TheWilsonCenter family mourns the passing of @tnak0214. Professor Toshi Nakayama made many friends and left a profound influence on our institution during his year as a Wilson Center fellow. He was a leading scholar of the US-Japan relationship. We will carry on his legacy.

    Completely. Bush & Obama (& Lieberman) all gave moving eulogies but it was @MeghanMcCain’s eulogy & Renee Fleming’s haunting rendition of “Danny Boy” that broke me. Perhaps feeling extra emotional because of the times we live in & the loss that McCain’s passing represents.

    And it was my first time experiencing sitting through a 3-hour panel w/o any break! But it was good times though, thanks to MSNBC special coverage on N Korea with @maddow et al.

    With all due respect to CNN & Dennis Rodman, so glad it was @CSIS night on MSNBC, with my insightful colleagues @VictorDCha and @SueMiTerry helping us understand the Singapore summit.

    UPDATE: I finally got to vote! Got up at 6 am on Saturday but it was worth it. Only took about 2 hours.

    Given my intel background, I love spy shows like “The Americans” & “Prisoners of War.” But most are totally unrealistic. “The Bureau” is the first one I’ve seen that gets it right. Hyper realistic & suspenseful. Perfect cure for my covid blues. On season 2—don’t want it to end!

    6. Neither Kelly, Pompeo, nor Bolton—who were sitting right there!—were consulted and of course not Mattis (who wasn’t there). No consultations with S Korea either. Trump just gave in to Kim without consulting or notifying anyone.

    Congrats to @maxboot for being a 2019 Pulitzer Prize finalist in Biography for “The Road Not Taken: Edward Lansdale and the American Tragedy in Vietnam.” The love story was as compelling as the story of the Vietnam War. I couldn’t put it down.
