China is fueling threats to American lives while benefiting from the chaos it helps create. Their alleged support for the Houthis undermines U.S. interests, strengthens Iran, and threatens global shipping. We must cut off the weapons, money, and supply chains enabling these attacks.

‘There is an opportunity for tactical trading with China on certain issues, such as market access or agricultural exports. What I don’t want is to give up strategically important U.S. products. So far, we haven’t seen any major concessions from the U.S., and I hope that holds.’ - @Cold_Peace_

Sorry for leaving you hanging, mate. The sea of toxic comments and anonymous clickbait disinformation accounts that now rule X isn't really my cup of tea.
I found new hobbies. I've been moonlighting as a masked vigilante fighting crime in DC. And I started doing pilates.
As a student of geopolitics who has tracked commentaries for nearly a decade, the absence of a major voice that has been pro US-India relations has been missing for nearly a year.
@Cold_Peace_ where are you, good sir?
It was an honor to host China Select Committee Chairman @RepMoolenaar for the @Heritage BC Lee lecture this week. He is leading pushback against the CCP in Congress.
In this clip, I use moderator's privilege to discuss China chip controls.

“The question isn’t just, who builds the most powerful [AI and biotech] models? It’s, whose values are embedded in them?.... We cannot let [the Chinese Communist Party] write the code that governs human lives.” - @RepMoolenaar
This chart comes up every few years in my mentions and I need to clear the air once and for all. Yes, that is indeed me. I keep 8 nukes in a storage unit in Fairfax.

America currently enjoys a multi-year lead in cutting-edge AI technologies. This lead is protected by certain export controls. However, those controls need updating.

If we want India to be a partner on U.S. core interests, we must be a partner to India on its core interests, including terrorism. Otherwise, we will be disappointed. Deservedly so.
India-Pakistan. Ukraine-Russia.
The Drone Age is upon us.
And the only people that accurately predicted this was coming was...pretty much everyone, from the moment drone technology was introduced. We can't say we weren't warned.
Experts took apart some Chinese-made solar panels and found rogue, undocumented communication devices in the power inverters. [Which should surprise no one].
China's response: "We oppose the generalization of the concept of national security"
Lol, you can't make this shit up.
Folks are going to get very hung up on whether the U.S. "mediated" an India-Pakistan ceasefire, or just helped bridge the gap and encourage the two to talk.
Personally, I don't think it matters much. India was compelled to send a message after Pahalgam and that message was sent. Terror will not be cost-free and future terror attacks will be met with a military response. The fact the guns have gone silent for now is a good thing.

The CCP is exploiting TikTok in the trade war to make Americans more sympathetic to Beijing. It appears to be working.
President Trump should enforce the law and take TikTok offline as long as it’s controlled by Beijing.

You may think that with the whole world paying attention to Pakistan the army may ask the terrorists it has long nurtured to lie low for a bit. You may think it would at least tell uniformed soldiers not to pray alongside a U.S.-designated global terrorist. You would be mistaken.
