Trump TikTok

Trump's TikTok Christmas present to Chinese intelligence. The president-elect is deluding himself and the American people in claiming he can balance U.S. security with retained Chinese ownership of the app.

Finland Baltic Sea

Finland's masterclass in how to deal with Russian aggression. Finland deserves credit for its seizure of a Russian vessel that damaged a Baltic Sea pipeline.

Georgia

Trump is unlikely to bow to Bidzina Ivanishvili's Georgie corruption. The govt. is hoping the incoming president will give it a pass on its oppressive corruption.

Die Hard Estonia

American conservative lesson in Estonia's Die Hard Christmas. The eastern European democracy is a reliable ally with a pro-American people. It deserves support.

Drones

The drone problem is out of control. The inability of government to challenge drone incursions is depleting confidence in national security.

China tech agreement, Drones

Biden tries to handcuff Trump to dangerous China tech sharing agreement. The outgoing president has given Beijing an undeserved gift. 

From Saturday...

US government is losing public trust over drones. What's behind the recent rash of sightings in New Jersey?

Syria

Biden abandons U.S. interests in post-war Syria. The president is asleep as Russia somehow moves towards regaining its bases and Turkey bombs the Kurds.

Assad Putin

 From Sunday

Fall of Assad is a major blow to Putin. The Russian leader has lost influence and prestige.

Trump-Macron, DOGE Space, Spec Tennis

Trump must be wary of Macron the magnificent Chameleon. Trump is right to meet the French president in Paris. He'd be wrong to trust him.

DOGE should look at the silliness of moving Space Command to Alabama. The U.S. military's interests are best served by keeping the Command where it's working.

Serving up Spec-tacular' Tennis. A new sport offers a path between Pickleball and Tennis.

Nuclear war, Hong Kong

Nuclear war with Russia is possible but highly improbable. The basic point is that U.S. deterrence is credible, and Putin would lose a great deal - potentially everything - by using a nuclear weapon.

Increase pressure on Western facilitators of Hong Kong repression. The plight of Jimmy Lai is growing a more urgent concern.

UKSF Lakenheath

British special forces join drone hunt at RAF Lakenheath. The U.S. and U.K. governments are increasingly concerned and frustrated at their inability to find the culprit for these incursions.
