In observance of the Veterans Day holiday, there will be no podcast or newsletter published this weekend.
The alert service continues without interruption. We are here, watching.
At the top of our watch lists are Ukraine and Taiwan. - Russia is massing forces along the Ukraine border in an effort to deter asperations of a closer relationship with NATO.
- China is massing forces in the region opposite Taiwan.
- Both Russia and China see the present dysfunctional state of U.S. leadership.
- Both Russia and China know the aversion of the American public entering another military conflict, particularly after the disastrous pullout from Afghanistan.
- Both Russia and China know big changes are coming to the U.S. political engine in 2022 and 2024.
It has been quiet the last couple of weeks. Savor the down time. It never lasts.
Enjoy your weekend.
