Whether we choose to acknowledge it or not, we’re in the most dangerous national security threat environment in a generation. The Chinese Communist Party has been waging unrestricted – but so far non-kinetic – warfare against us for over two decades. Unless China’s escalating aggressiveness, especially towards Taiwan, is promptly and effectively deterred, an actual war may break out at any time.

It is, therefore, deeply unsettling that Biden Climate Czar John Kerry recently revealed the President was “literally not aware” of what we are encouraged to believe is our most important strategic counter to date to China’s belligerence – namely, U.S. and British collaboration to provide Australia with nuclear-powered attack submarines.

Last May, an estimable group of retired Flag Officers for America were roundly denounced for stating the obvious:

“The mental and physical condition of the Commander-in-Chief cannot be ignored.”

Amen.
