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.
