“BEGIN THE BIEGUN?”

John W. Spring

During the 1940s, there was a song, “Begin the Beguine” composed and written about a dance called the Beguine. However, my title for this article was derived from the name of Stephen E. Biegun who is currently serving as the U.S. Special Representative for North Korea after he had resigned from his position on the Board of Directors at The U.S. Russia Foundation. While he speaks the Russian language fluently and had previously served in Russia for the Ford Motor Company, his credentials as a foreign policy expert do not impress me in spite of him being so well connected due to having such a strong involvement with the Council of Foreign Relations or CFR as is the case for National Security Adviser John R. Bolton and other members of President Donald J. Trump’s Cabinet and White House Staff.

In the administration of President George W. Bush, Mr. Biegun served as executive secretary of the National Security Council and he reported directly to Dr. Condoleezza Rice, who then served as National Security Adviser and later as U.S. Secretary of State. Because both were fluent in the Russian language, they were able to negotiate with Russian officials in Russia and Kazakhstan when Chevron and other major multinational oil corporations were investing in the Aral-Caspian Basin of landlocked Central Asia that led to proposed pipeline routes and the war in Afghanistan due to the Taliban failing to approve of a pipeline route that would have passed through western Afghanistan, including Herat Province, from Turkmenistan to Pakistan at a port on the Arabian Sea that would lead to the Indian Ocean and markets overseas. This war still continues to exist.

Since then, Stephen E. Biegun has become very well-connected to bankers in China and Russia.

However, when it comes to his present role related to negotiating with officials in Pyongyang, I am rather doubtful about his ability to make any significant progress with North Korea because he does not appear to have the capability to initiate any meaningful proposals that might become considered by Chairman Kim Jong Un as being adequately beneficial for taking steps leading to denuclearization. JWS
