The one national security policy that has proven effective in deterring conflict is what Ronald Reagan famously called “Peace through Strength.” At a moment when Communist China seems increasingly determined to attack a nearby outpost of the Free World, Taiwan, the need for an immediate American return to that time-tested deterrent strategy is palpable. That…
Americans alarmed at what is being done to our country by the Biden wrecking operation generally have, at some point, asked themselves: Where are the Republicans? The answer most days seems that the majority of them in Congress – not all, but certainly too many – are nowhere to be found. Even worse is when…
Missiles, missiles everywhere. Incredibly, the recent, frightening revelation that Communist China surprised U.S. intelligence by launching a hypersonic missile designed for sneak nuclear attacks and defeating our missile defenses is now yesterday’s news. Today’s news is that the PRC’s puppet, North Korea, has surprisingly launched from underwater a short-range ballistic missile in the direction of…
Communist China recently achieved what should be a “Sputnik” moment – an event that ought to shock every American and spur us to action. The PRC demonstrated the ability to fly into orbit a nuclear-capable hypersonic missile optimized to perform surprise attacks anywhere on the planet and defeat our missile defense capabilities. Wisconsin Representative Mike…
On Tuesday, Chinese dictator Xi Jinping cynically used a UN Biodiversity Summit to announce a new fund to promote conservation of developing countries’ native and endangered species. As it happens, the BBC reported last week on the devastation of one such species that the Chinese are wreaking across Africa. It turns out that millions of…
Finally, a prominent politician has explicitly denounced “the Biden administration’s unparalleled effort to transform federal laws and agencies into instruments of domestic political repression.” Unfortunately, while former Wisconsin Representative James Sensenbrenner has laudably called in the Wall Street Journal for Congress to block the latest example of such abuse – namely, Attorney General Merrick Garland’s…
Lieutenant General Mike Flynn warned Tucker Carlson yesterday about the growing threat posed by Communist China. He highlighted the advantage the Chinese gain by simply stealing military technology we spend billions and decades to produce. Today, a U.S. Navy engineer and his wife are being arraigned for allegedly trying to sell an unidentified nation –…
It’s good news that the Central Intelligence Agency is establishing a new Mission Center focused on the massive and growing threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party. Such a heightened priority is long overdue, especially in light of the PRC’s past successes in discovering and neutralizing U.S. spy networks there. The bad news is that…
Xi Van Fleet is a remarkable and very courageous woman. I had a chance to interview Xi recently about her experience as a child survivor of Mao Tse-tung’s Cultural Revolution in Communist China. She warns that so-called Critical Race Theory is a variant on the Marxist-Maoist “class-warfare” technique for dividing and oppressing populations. Ms. Van…
Whether we choose to acknowledge it or not, we’re in the most dangerous national security threat environment in a generation. The Chinese Communist Party has been waging unrestricted – but so far non-kinetic – warfare against us for over two decades. Unless China’s escalating aggressiveness, especially towards Taiwan, is promptly and effectively deterred, an actual…
The Chinese Communist Party is risking internal turmoil by cutting back electricity supplied by coal-fired power-plants. The impact has translated into widespread blackouts, disrupting industries’ and consumers’ use alike, and they may be allowed to persist for some time. Former Pentagon official Chuck DeVore theorizes that the regime in Beijing is weaning itself from foreign…
The Chinese Communist Party has occupied Afghanistan’s vast Bagram air base recently abandoned intact at the direction of Joe Biden. This development greatly compounds the ignominy of Biden’s defeat there. It translates into a significant strategic advantage in terms of China’s power-projection capability, at the expense of ours. Unfortunately, surrendering Afghanistan to the CCP and…
The South American nation of Peru’s former First Vice President, Francisco Tedula, is a formidable man. He was among, and helped rescue, 72 hostages seized by terrorists like those who have now taken his country hostage, thanks to a fraudulent election last June. Mr. Tudela warns of the danger for his people, the region’s and…
Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley has informed Congress that it’s “too early to tell” whether the American people are safer as a result of the humiliating strategic defeat in Afghanistan that Joe Biden engineered with his help. He says we’ll know in six months. Those statements aren’t simply wrong. They’re delusional. The Biden bug-out of…
Biden lied and people died. And more are dying by the day in Afghanistan as a result of the President ignoring the recommendations of his senior military leaders to leave a small American force in that country and then telling the American people he had not done so. And many more will likely die –…
Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley will likely excuse his contribution to Joe Biden’s humiliating defeat in Afghanistan today by falsely asserting the Taliban’s swift victory was unexpected. Even more untenable is our unpreparedness for the coming, conflict with China. Its leadership and propaganda outlets have been telling the Chinese since 2019 that their country is…
Joe Biden’s done it again. He has engineered another strategic defeat for the United States to the resounding benefit of the Chinese Communist Party. Coming on the heels of his disastrous and humiliating surrender of Afghanistan, of which Communist China was the most important beneficiary, the Biden Justice Department’s collapse on the extradition of Huawei…
As the leaders of the United States, Japan, India and Australia confer today as members of “the Quad,” they will presumably be preoccupied with the principal threat all four countries face. That would be the Chinese Communist Party’s increasingly operationalized aspiration for world domination. The Quad’s meeting will be taking place, however, under the oppressive…
Amidst the ongoing devastation caused by Joe Biden’s abandoning of our supporters in Afghanistan, opportunities should be seized to demonstrate America’s reliability in supporting its friends, not just pay lip-service to that proposition. Unfortunately, Team Biden has just done the opposite, this time alienating, undermining and endangering our most important partner in the Middle East.…
The governor of Texas visited the Del Rio sector of his state’s border with Mexico yesterday to plead with President Biden to provide the resources needed to stem what amounts to a debilitating invasion of our country. Unfortunately, Mr. Biden had something else on his mind then, as usual. He was at the United Nations…
