NSA Russia Taliban, China Paracels

Why the NSA is skeptical over the Russia bounties plot. It lacks a direct connection point corroboration between the GRU in Afghanistan and Moscow.

Why China is conducting aggressive Paracel Islands exercises. Beijing wants to send a message to the region and America.

GRU-Taliban, Uighur Nazism, Pelosi's absurdity, GRU fanaticism

The likely reason President Trump wasn’t briefed on the GRU-Taliban plot. The intelligence community assessment paradigm means that information must be judged across various sources. Hence why the DNI wanted to wait before briefing Trump.

Purifying the Uighurs, China offers homage to Nazism. The latest reporting on the destruction of Uighur identity is a testament to the Chinese Communist reality.

Nancy Pelosi chooses partisanship over national security with request for full House  GRU-Taliban intelligence briefing. She knows that there are much better ways to oversee the issue than to invite certain leaks.

Why Russia’s GRU would kill Americans in Afghanistan. Moscow’s most aggressive intelligence service has personal and professional detestation for the United States.

China, Submarines, UFOs

China’s failed Hawaii gambit to split Trump from Pompeo. Beijing sought to use the meeting with Pompeo for its own malevolent interests. It failed.

Inside the Silent Service: an interview with the Navy's top submarine officer. Vice Admiral Caudle talks about China, Russia, and the need to stay ready.

Marco Rubio moves to open up the UFO files. The chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee wants the public to know what’s been happening.

EU China, John Bolton

The European Union is offering China a human rights fire sale. In return for Chinese investment, the EU will forget all about its sacred values.

Why John Bolton’s book is judged to contain classified material. The issue is foreign allied policy and political detail.

US in Libya, China vs. Australia/Canada, Maduro sanctions

U.S. seizes advanced Russian military system in Libya. The air defense system is a major part of Putin’s strategy against NATO.

China escalates against Trump via Australia and Canada. The Communist regime is threatening power grids and human rights.

Trump administration rightly keeps up the pressure on Nicolas Maduro. The Venezuelan dictator faces new sanctions on his oil exports.

Rayshard Brooks charge, Kadyrov vs. Georgia, Movies

Murder charge against Officer who killed Rayshard Brooks is incredibly weak. The officer only fired after first being fired on with a taser. That matters.

Why doesn’t the Georgian government care that Ramzan Kadyrov is trying to kill its citizens? The response to Kadyrov’s latest assassination adventure is absurd.

The Searchers, Dirty Harry, and True Lies do not need warning labels. Each movie is not nearly as controversial or prejudiced as Variety suggests.

Ramzan Kadyrov

If Ramzan Kadyrov is tied to Georgia assassination plot, US must impose secondary sanctions. Putin’s Chechen strongman is not a nice guy.

India vs. China, HSBC Hong Kong

Killing 20 Indian soldiers, China risks provoking the nationalist Tiger. Tensions along the disputed line of control are rising rapidly.

HSBC suffers a hard reeducation under the Chinese Communist leash. The British bank has gambled on the wrong outcome.

Paul Whelan

How and why Paul Whelan is being used by Russian intelligence.

The Russians want to use him as a bargaining chip.

BLM China, Syria Lebanon, North Korea, High coronavirus

All in on Black Lives Matter, U.S. banks are all quiet on the China front. The dichotomy in narratives is striking in its illumination of fallacious morality. 

Lebanon and Syria are lurching towards implosion. Economic factors in both nations are causing major upheaval.

North Korea’s week of escalation. The regime is upping pressure on the United States.

Meet the High Schoolers striving for coronavirus relief. Serving those at risk of infection with groceries, these young Americans are proving themselves great citizens.

Russia's submarine, Mark Milley, Anthony Tata

Russia's new submarine is not a game changer. The Khabarovsk's sea trials should not be mistaken for a critical threat. Though, they do deserve NATO attention.

General Mark Milley was right to distance himself from Trump's Bible walk. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs recognizes his first responsibility is to the Constitution.

Anthony Tata is a good pick for the Pentagon's policy head. He's a proven patriot who revels in public service.

Police policy, Confederate bases

Which mayor will be the first to double down on the Police? Considering the escalating violence in many cities, it’s only a matter of time until one does.

Army bases aren’t defined by their confederate names. They are defined by the units and personnel who serve on them.

Churchill Bengal, GOP Putin, Police disbandment, Nord Stream

Stop blaming Winston Churchill for the Bengal famine. Britain's wartime Prime Minister was neither the cause of the crisis, nor the person in possession of easy solutions.

House Republicans have a plan to punish Putin. The GOP Republican Study Caucus wants to impose significant financial penalties on Moscow.

From Monday...

Police disbandment, Churchill statues, and how to lose a great idea in two days. There is immense arrogance and stupidity in some of the efforts to produce positive reform.

Sanction any firm that helps to complete Nord Stream II. The pipeline will undermine American and European security.

Germany forces, Secret Service, Taiwan China

Trump rightly moves forces out of Germany, but should send some to Poland. Doing so would deter Putin, reward Poland, and show Germany that freeloading in NATO is unacceptable.

The Secret Service’s protest-coronavirus challenge. The strange times we live in cause significant new complications for the federal protective agency.

Sell Taiwan Harpoons to deter China. The Chinese are asking for us to support their democratic opposite.

Airborne infantry, global protests, Derek Chauvin

Why it’s a bad idea to use Airborne Infantry as riot Police. They are trained to kill the enemy, not deal with him with caution.

Globally, a less sincere form of protest. Don’t take too seriously the George Floyd protests continuing around the world.

What if Derek Chauvin is acquitted? The man charged over George Floyd’s death is unlikely to be convicted with ease.

Putin G7, Protest terrorism, Trump's Afghanistan

Trump aids Putin in returning to G7 and gets Russian rebuke in return. The president should realize that Putin has no interest in finding common ground with America on most critical concerns. Quite the opposite, in fact.

Inside the protest terrorist threat concern. Antifa is a side show here, the real worry centers on Neo-Nazis seeking a race war. And warped black liberation fanatics.

Taliban torches Trump’s Afghanistan tough talk. The insurgent group retains close links to al Qaeda, in patent breach of its treaty submissions.

London lessons, Trump leadership

Three riot lessons from London, 2011. The British capital dealt with a similar surge of violent disorder during August 2011. Here’s how the police won.

Why won’t Trump lead against rioting? The president has an opportunity and an obligation to do more than fire off inane tweets.
