In 1945, George Orwell set out a distinction that still holds its edge today.

Should I stay or should I go?
April 7 (UPI) -- The author prefers to use the lowercase "n" to challenge the Kim family regime's legitimacy. The question is not who commands in war. The question is why. Intent matters more than structure. If intent is unclear, Operational Control transition becomes a shell. It looks strong. It may be hollow. So ask the hard question.

I recently attended the 3d Annual National Center for Narrative intelligence Summit at Ole Miss in Oxford, Miss.

Kim Jong Un's political warfare aims to fracture the Republic of Korea-U.S. alliance without firing a shot. Photo by Korean Central News Agency/EPA Jan. 5 (UPI) -- The Republic of Korea and the United States face a familiar threat from North Korea, yet too often we describe it with the wrong vocabulary. This is not merely a contest of missiles, submarines or artillery. It is a contest of narratives, legitimacy and political will.
