Visited the DMZ after IPSA Korea. One international border visit down, a little over 300 to go!

I find it interesting that borders are just advertisements for a country's foreign policy. Im excited to be able to visit the area next month and see it all first hand!

The Baltics states have border barriers against Russia, as well as Poland and Finland. Russia may be the most common target of barrier construction in the world!

Argentina joins many other countries in ramping up its physical border security by planning a fence on its Bolivian border. Bolivia says this could affect the peaceful coexistence between the two countries! I am hoping to explore cases like this in my dissertation!

DoD terminates Minerva grants and State Dept eliminates Title VIII summer language institutes on the same day. Coming on the heels of COVID, there’s going to be gaping holes in international expertise in the US for a generation.

β€œThe aggressor is always peace-loving… he would prefer to take over our country unopposed.”

-Clausewitz

One of my favorite quotes about international power politics and war, fitting all too well here.
