To paraphrase Ronald Reagan: the focus of evil in the modern world is China. There is no doubt China will invade Taiwan. Not if, but when. There are a lot of depraved actors in the world today and our own MAGA crew is one of them. Try as we may to put ourselves up as Exceptional, the last ten years revealed our own deep-rooted problems and mostly evens us out with the sordid and depraved. We cannot hold a light to others.
Extraordinary piece this morning☕ Steve. After reading my mind went straight to trump's dinner at his Golf course with his Chinese guests. Will reStack your work ASAP, Thanks, Steve
In the mid '70s we had friends who lived in DC across from the apartment building housing Russia's embassy staff. IIRC, one day the Russians called the FBI or DC police to report a package left on their steps, perhaps thinking it was a bomb. The authorities retrieved the package; it was a bundle of sensitive documents that an American intelligence operator was trying to sell to the Russians.
A very interesting story, though I can’t say surprising. The business of spy craft is a old as walled cities. The tech changes, but the work doesn’t Watch and be watched. Speak carefully and listen even more carefully. Cats and mice going back generations.
A very interesting story. China is now the top dog left on the global opposition against the US. Russia has been terribly weakened and is now more or less propped up by Xi. And Iran is really a proxy for Russia and indirectly for China. For all his efforts and powerful indirect hits, Biden was not able to claim the decisive victory on the global stage and now it will be left for the historians. During the mean time Ukraine beckons. https://youtu.be/tsMRk7_a1Yo?si=OeP35828YZUX8WWZ

I will further add, as an example of where we are these days — the MAGA Candidate for US Senator of Minnesota said “the bad guys won World War 2.”
The covert connections are interesting & alarming! Trust is at a premium price these days!
