President Donald trump has pledged not to enter into any new wars in his campaign for re-election but can we achieve peace with China under these conditions? “For most of the past century, China was weak militarily in comparison to the United States. Since then, the military balance in the Pacific has shifted dramatically in favor of the PRC. Today, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) boasts the largest army, navy, coast guard and nuclear capable ballistic missile force in the world. It is a nuclear superpower on par with the United States and is on track to exceed the US in terms of operationally deployed strategic nuclear weapons this year with a recently released unclassified USAF intelligence briefing stating that at current building rates China will have 4,000 nuclear warheads by the end of the decade. China is amassing an increasing number of powerful nuclear-capable weapon systems that could serve to deter US military intervention including hypersonic cruise missiles and both land and air-launched anti-ship ballistic missile systems. While many US policymakers express confidence the US would prevail in a war with China, all US military wargames conducted during the past two decades show the US losing badly in a war over Taiwan thanks to China’s increasing theater conventional military and nuclear superiority.” My guest today is David Pyne and we’re discussing his peace proposal between China and Taiwan that might be able to get the job done. Pyne is a former U.S. Army combat arms and Headquarters staff officer, who was in charge of armaments cooperation with the former Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the Americas from 2000-2003. He currently serves as Executive Vice President of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security and as a member of the Committee on the Present Danger-China. 🇺🇸Colonel's Brief is a reader-supported publication.

The investigations into the weaponized intelligence agencies continue to this day. FISA reform legislation failed in Congress and we still don’t have answers about the assassination attempt on President Trump thanks to slow walking federal agencies like the FBI. Think about that, since the summer of 2015 our government’s most powerful tools to protect us from our enemies have been used against us, the citizens, while wars erupt all in almost every flashpoint in the world because of terrible energy, trade, and defense policy decisions. Now we’re in the final 75 days of the 2024 presidential campaign and many suspect these agencies are involved in the historical and non-democratic changes in the party nominee of the left, and the courts continue their lawfare against President Trump and his supporters. Add to the mix the possibility of RFK Jr endorsing Mr. Trump and withdrawing from the race and you have an exciting time (albeit stressful on freedom) in American history! My guest today to discuss all this is former Trump Advisor George Papadopoulos, the best-selling author of, “DEEP STATE TARGET: How I got caught in the crosshairs of the plot to bring down President Trump.”🇺🇸Colonel's Brief is a reader-supported publication.

Americans are tired of hearing about and more importantly, experiencing the effects big pharma has on our lives. We see our children’s lives drastically changed by conditions such as autism and obesity rates through the roof. Our common sense and the facts tell us Big Pharma’s role in the “autism explosion” that has occurred in children since vaccines were heavily pushed onto the public is likely a cause. Rates of cancer have exploded following the COVID-19 mass vaccination programs, with doctors and scientists all over the world now sounding the alarm. U.S. Gov. data confirms a 143,233% increase in Deadly Cancer cases due to COVID Vaccination. We are all asking the same questions about the food we eat, the medicines we’re taking, and the vaccines pushed on our children President Trump is asking. We’re discussing this today with my guest President of the Richardson Nutritional Center and Chief Visionary Officer of Operation World Without Cancer, John Richardson.🇺🇸Colonel's Brief is a reader-supported publication.

Failed communist economic policies are being embraced once again in America by the Democrat party. Politicians on both sides of the aisle have tried price controls and failed dramatically. Nixon tried it and so did Crater with disastrous results. I remember the gas lines of the 1970s and they were caused directly by these policies. Vice President Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) will propose a federal ban on “corporate price-gouging in the food and grocery industries,” which would be the first of its kind. She is also planning on trying to destroy the housing market, which is in such bad shape today that generations of young Americans don’t feel they will ever be able to own a home. Folks, home ownership is the economic engine that created our middle class and now we’re destroying the very thing that made us a superpower. Of course the communists in the Harris camp talking constantly about Donald Trump’s economic plans that they say only help the rich even though Trumps record proves otherwise! My guest today to discuss this mess is my friend Bart Marcois, the former Principal Assistant Deputy Secretary of Energy for International Affairs and author.🇺🇸Colonel's Brief is a reader-supported publication.

What is the point of the Ukraine incursion into the Kursk region of Russia? But according to CDMedia’s Armed Forces Press not even the Ukrainian soldiers speaking with American reporters a day ago knew what the purpose of their mission was. I think its evident Ukraine was attempting to cause Russia to pull forces from the rest of its operations in Eastern Ukraine but from what we can tell that hasn’t happened. Two key bridges have been destroyed, which will disrupt logistics flow into the region but is it likely to have a major impact on the overall Russian combat operations that continue, and are even more aggressive now? Ukrainian and Russian forces have clashed 139 times on 10 fronts across the war zone over the past 24 hours. The Russians are most active on the Pokrovsk front, where they mounted 46 assaults.Civilians in Ukraine's eastern strategic logistics hub of Pokrovsk have just a week or two to evacuate as Russian troops press towards the city, an official said on Monday. Moscow forces have been steadily inching forward in the Pokrovsk area in recent months. As of last week, they stood just over 10 kilometers from the outskirts of the city, local authorities said. L Todd Wood joins us today to discuss the impact of the incursion. A former Special Operations pilot As CEO of CD Media, he’s on a mission to report the truth, as America’s free press should be to protect our way of life.🇺🇸Colonel's Brief is a reader-supported publication.

The failures of our military, from leadership to the field level, are stunning to those of us who served up until just a few years ago. In reality, even our current service members who are still part of the culture of warrior honor and ethics are either walking away or thinking about it. Recruiting continues to fail and military officers responsible for it decided to reduce end strength numbers in order to hide the consistent failures. Think about that, our armed forces that once was the most trusted organization by our citizens, has adopted official policy to lie and mislead the American people and congress. Duty, honor, country being removed from the US Military Academy at Wes Point’s motto not long ago was a harbinger for us to see what was already happening, that our military has degraded to an organization of dishonor, the unethical, the undisciplined, and today we’ll show you the facts that support our assertion that DEI policies and indoctrination are rapidly destroying our military capability. Rep Matt Gaetz, who has the largest population of military and veterans in the country in his district, recently said: If diversity officers are all we need to win wars, maybe we should send them to the front lines of Ukraine and Taiwan! But of course, that’s not the case. The embrace of DEI dilutes our military’s readiness and hurts recruitment.” My guest today has written extensively about this issue and has two essay’s in the new book we covered last week from the US Naval Academy graduates Calvert Task Group Don’t Give Up The Ship: Woke Policies Are Destroying the American Military, regular contributor to this show retired US Navy commander, author, college professor, former senior DHS official, and candidate for Louisiana’s 1st Congressional district seat Randy Arrington.🇺🇸Colonel's Brief is a reader-supported publication.

Coach Walz, or is it retired Command Sergeant Major Walz, or is it hunting buddy good old boy neighbor Tim Walz? Listen to this from Front Page Magazine: “Democrat vice presidential candidate Tim Walz is being skillfully marketed as an all-American average guy. That’s one thing he isn’t, and in reality, he is just about the diametric opposite of that. Most Americans are not even aware, and never will be, of how sinister he really is. To hear the Democrat party’s propaganda machine, that is, the establishment media, tell it, Walz is your neighbor across the fence who has surprisingly sensible solutions to the nation’s problems, a homespun small-town high school teacher, a football coach, someone you can trust with your kids and a good-hearted man to whom you can trust our nation’s future. This is, of course, a massive load of baloney, and it’s already falling apart.” In fact, this man is great friends with fellow travelers like Imam Asad Zaman of the Muslim American Society of Minnesota, who “said on Oct. 7 of last year that he ‘stands in solidarity with Palestinians against Israeli attacks.’”  My guest today is Robert Spencer. Robert wrote the Front Page article I quoted and is the the author of the new book, Muhammad: A Critical Biography, which takes a detailed look at the Islamic traditions regarding Muhammad and lays bare their contradictions, inconsistencies, and incoherence.🇺🇸Colonel's Brief is a reader-supported publication.

“The world has become increasingly dangerous and unstable due to America’s failed strategy of global hegemony, which has been strongly supported by both neoconservative Republicans and neoliberal Democrats. This strategy has incited the formation of a hostile axis consisting of Russia, China, North Korea and Iran. It has also left the U.S. military dangerously overextended and unable to deter aggression leading to the outbreak of major wars in both Europe and the Middle East for the first time in half a century.” President Donald Trump has promised that he would end America’s proxy war in Ukraine within twenty-four hours of taking office, declaring, "we have to stop the killing in Ukraine.” My guest today is David Pyne, is a former U.S. Army combat arms and Headquarters staff officer, who was in charge of armaments cooperation with the former Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the Americas from 2000-2003, with an M.A. in National Security Studies from Georgetown University. He currently serves as Executive Vice President of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security and as a member of the Committee on the Present Danger-China. Today we’re discussing his recent article laying out a proposed peace plan with Russia, which could in fact, split the alliance between Russia and China.🇺🇸Colonel's Brief is a reader-supported publication.

Don’t Give up the Ship is the rallying cry for US Navy warriors that was born in a battle to the death by the USS Chesapeake in the War of 1812 and its the name of a new book we’re talking about today. Listen up Americans. “The warning signs are obvious. Our freedoms and our nation itself are under siege. We face unprecedented circumstances. Russia and China’s expansionist ambitions pose an existential foreign military threat. At the same time, we are facing a significant internal challenge as every fissure from social media to election integrity to our national borders are being exploited.  “We are locked in a struggle for the soul of our nation. They effectively expose the insidious, but very real, threats to our military’s readiness and our nation’s unity.”- Brig Gen. Christopher Petty, Board Member, STARRS. These comments are from the book wherein seventeen former military officers of The Calvert Task Group, most U.S. Naval Academy graduates, apply their insights shaped by combat, command, and senior leadership experience, to illuminate the divisive threat of woke politics that has infected our military and is attacking the foundation of our nation. Showing these initiatives endanger our security, they urge readers to stand against the crisis and defend the principles that have made America strong. The fate of our country is in the hands of the American people. The time to act is now. The Calvert Task Group was formed in 2021 as an association of U.S. Naval Academy alumni, led by members of the class of 1969 to address the changes being wrought on our military by woke politics. My guest today is one of them. Retired LCdr. Bruce Davey is a Naval Academy graduate, former Navy fighter pilot, and former Blue Angel.🇺🇸Colonel's Brief is a reader-supported publication.

And we still don’t know exactly what happened. In fact, the video you just watched isn’t even easy to find in its entirety anymore. Congressional hearings have happened, the Director of the Secret Service has resigned, and an investigating team that doesn’t even include one of the former military snipers serving in congress has been formed by Speaker Johnson. 26 days and we still don’t know details about the assassin himself, in fact, the FBOI seems focused on a sketchy arrest of a person loosely connected to Iran that has nothing to do with the actual assassin. So, that’s where we are, investigating agencies that don’t have the confidence of the American people and a congress no one trusts either, are supposedly going to produce a factual and complete investigations. I have my doubts and that is why we’ve asked a former US Secret Service agent Mike DeGues to come on and discuss the facts that we do know today about this history-making event the mainstream media is trying to ignore and memory hole.🇺🇸Colonel's Brief is a reader-supported publication.
