While the world’s attention is focused on Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, the likelihood grows that ominous conflicts will erupt elsewhere, as well. The obvious one will involve the Chinese Communists moving against Taiwan, either directly and forcefully or via a flanking maneuver, blockade and or other coercive, non-kinetic techniques including cyber, information and economic warfare.…
Joe Biden’s Gaslight of the Union Tuesday was riddled with falsehoods and deflections. Particularly striking, however, was his failure to mention even once Communist China. That’s like having your doctor examine you for Covid, but not discuss your stage-five cancer. We can speculate about why the Commander-in-Chief would completely leave out of what was supposed…
News Flash: Joe Biden did not deliver the State of the Union last night. Instead, the man who plays the President of the United States on TV presented the Gaslight of the Union. Virtually the entire speech before a joint session of Congress and a national – indeed, global – audience was a clearly poll-tested…
Joe Biden’s State of the Union address tonight will likely feature promises of more federal spending aimed at advancing the radical left’s “fundamental transformation” of our country and spinning of his administration’s abysmal foreign policies. A shocking “60 Minutes” segment aired on Sunday should prompt Mr. Biden to include in his remarks several concrete and…
Fifty years ago this month, President Richard Nixon went to Communist China. The object was what his successors of both parties have done ever since – namely, seeking China’s assistance with some American priority or another, from countering the Soviet threat to help in ending the Vietnam war to opening markets to mitigating climate change.…
“Decapitation” is graphic way of describing the evident object of Vladimir Putin’s intensifying invasion of Ukraine. Unfortunately, if this despot can get away with not only eliminating an elected government in one of Russia’s neighbors, but presumably installing one to his liking there, other enemies of freedom will surely be emboldened to do the same.…
Overnight, Vladimir Putin went to full-on war in Ukraine. The Russian dictator is appears set on nothing less than the conquest of that neighboring nation, demilitarizing it, changing its government and dominating it henceforth in a manner reminiscent of the Kremlin’s previous enslavement of Ukrainians and others during the Russian empire and its Soviet counterpart.…
On February 11th, I asked in this space, “What is Vladimir Putin thinking?” Now we know. After the Russian dictator invaded eastern Ukraine earlier this week, he’s channeling another tyrant’s calculations of nearly nine decades ago. Similarities between Adolf Hitler’s actions and Putin’s recent conduct are striking. An Anschluss like the Nazis’ uncontested occupation of…
So it begins. As predicted in this space, now that China’s Genocide Games are complete, Vladimir Putin has launched his long-planned invasion of Ukraine. It turns out not to be a “minor incursion.” Rather, the Russian dictator has – clearly by pre-arrangement – recognized the independence of two Ukrainian provinces in the Donbass region and…
One of the most worrisome consequences of the Chinese Communist Party’s virus and the pandemic that has flowed from it is this chilling fact: The pandemic that appears to have emanated from a CCP bioweapons laboratory in Wuhan, China is having a devastating impact on our military personnel. That’s in part due to the disease…
A revered friend of mine has just survived the latest of myriad surgeries as part of many months of desperate attempts to save his life. To protect his privacy, let’s call him “Tim.” Tim is one of the most brilliant national security practitioners of his generation. He’s a distinguished veteran of combat overseas and the…
The much-ballyhooed Russian invasion of Ukraine hasn’t happened yet, thank God. For the moment, this must be considered a stay-of-execution for the Ukrainians, not a commutation of sentence. But it always seemed more likely that Vladimir Putin would wait to impose his brand of totalitarianism on them until after his ally, Xi Jinping, finishes the…
Special Prosecutor John Durham’s long-running investigation of apparent criminal activities involving former government officials opposed to Donald Trump’s presidential candidacy in 2016 and subsequent presidency has apparently hit pay-dirt. In a court filing on Friday, Mr. Durham formally alleged that Hillary Clinton’s campaign staff engaged tech workers to penetrate the computer systems of not…
Team Biden says Russia will initiate its latest invasion of Ukraine tomorrow. The good news is that’s probably not true. The bad news is that, by pre-arrangement with China’s dictator, Xi Jinping, the one misruling Russia, Vladimir Putin, will likely launch that attack next week, once the Genocide Games in Beijing wrap up. It is…
“What is Vladimir Putin thinking?” That question is on many minds around the world, including notably in Ukraine, the nation facing the prospect of imminent invasion by the army and naval forces the Russian leader now has encircling it. Ditto the Western civilian and military officials feverishly consulting about this crisis. Whatever Putin is planning…
Closing the Ring was the title Winston Churchill gave to his epic account of the Allies’ success in encircling and tightening the noose on Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich. That set the stage for the decisive invasions in Normandy and the East that liberated half of Europe, and for decades enslaved the rest under Soviet communist…
Eileen Gu is the human TikTok. Like the addictive video-sharing app used by the Chinese Communist Party to seduce and mine worldwide billions of people’s data, the beautiful American skier who has won a gold medal for China during Winter Olympics underway in Beijing personifies the CCP’s efforts to induce submission to its inexorable global…
Last week, in a searing, hour-long interview, a serving, combat veteran Marine officer identified only as “Paul” told me about the destruction that is being inflicted upon our military by Biden’s Covid-19 vaccination mandates, ideological purges and other policies. The resulting, enduring damage to the armed forces has become even more obvious with the revelation…
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi warned American Olympians last week not to anger the “ruthless” Chinese Communist regime. Those inside the Genocide Games’ totalitarian bubble surely needed no reminder that they are competing in a monstrous police state – and, thereby, legitimating it. Rather, Mrs. Pelosi seems to be trying to impress on the rest of…
In a triumph for tyranny, the world’s nations will be honoring and legitimating today the genocidal Chinese Communist Party. No good can come of the Genocide Games in Beijing. Not since 1936, when Adolf Hitler hosted the Summer Olympics in the Third Reich’s Berlin, has the so-called “international community” provided a bigger propaganda windfall for…
