The McLaughlin Group - June 25th - CBS-NY and PBS-Nationwide

FULL EPISODE

My time linked comments:

We don't have a cyber-deterrence doctrine, Assange likely has Clinton emails via Russians

Joking with Pat about the Stuxnet virus that was employed against Iran's nuclear infrastructure

Eleanor says Chinese hackers have kept attacks low-level. I note the OPM hack (see my relevant 2015 National Review article)

Noting that every time NSA uses a cyber-attack capability, the enemy learns from it

Suggesting - half-seriously - that we should retaliate to Russian cyber-attacks by turning the lights off and on in the Kremlin

The Russians will leak damaging information about Clinton if they have something

Eleanor asks what the Clinton email ''something'' might be. I ponder, political corruption

Why I support expansion of paternity and maternity leave in the cause of social conservatism

Why we must accept the fact that Baltic states are now NATO members and require collective deterrence. Also suggesting that NATO members must pay 2% GDP on defense

Challenging Pat on whether he would remove the Baltic states from NATO

Putin has won in Ukraine (see my relevant 2015 National Review article)

Explaining the horror of Venezuela under socialism

Clarence says ''you can manage a socialist economy and do it well''. I challenge as to where 

Asking where has socialism worked noting that Scandinavia is  not proof of socialist success (see my 2016 article at Opportunity Lives on the myth of Scandinavian success)

FORCED PREDICTION: Will China accept Hague ruling on island construction in South China Sea: I join Pat's sardonic ''Good luck'' with a Bon Chance!
