  • The China angle

  • Can the Taliban take over Pakistan (and its nuclear arsenal)?

  • Trump, Bagram Air Base, and India

• Can Trump break China’s Rare Earth Elements monopoly, and is the trade deal dead?

• The “No Kings” protests, the growing Republican realignment, and the history and purpose of Democrat political violence

• “The Digital Gulag”: Chinese social credit scores and the danger to U.S. privacy and freedom of speech
