The Era Of Grand Treaties From The Cold War Is Over - Get Over It And Start Acting Like It

February 19, 2024

Congressman Turner was grandstanding (at least a bit) to help move Ukraine aid forward.

Is there some truth to the commotion over Russian nukes in space? Maybe

The Intelligence Community (IC) has ignored the rapid Chinese nuclear build up until very very recently and is hyper-over-obsessed with Russia when the pacing threat has been China for almost 10 years.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
