Think Narrowly, Bomb Locally? The Current War Policy (December 15, 2025)
. . .
K “December is the month that the President drops the current war policy on the nation. The ‘National Security Strategy’ really reveals our national insecurity.”
J “Each year they annually drop the bomb on America. The new focus is still opaque and myopic.”
. . .
K “He is not really fundamentally different. The U.S. continues to be at war with the world in as many places in the world as possible all the time.”
J “China and Russia are not given enough attention. Looking inward does not relieve one from looking outward. China is the 800 lb. panda in the room.”
. . .
K “Trump seems to be shifting national defense priorities to the Western Hemisphere. Trump may start another war closer to home.”
J “The mess in Venezuela of course is not what it seems to be. They are fighting over oil and resources and politics not drugs and may soon see themselves in a fight with China.”
K “The U.S. could get in a war with China in Venezuela or in Taiwan or in the Ukraine. China knows that if Russia loses to the U.S. in the Ukraine, then China is next.”
J “China will take one of the small Taiwanese islands near China and gauge the response. That will be the tell.”
. . .
K “My overriding concern is that China may decide not to provide the U.S. with the rare earths and other minerals including silver and other resources and products necessary for the U.S. to fight China.”
J “That would be unsporting but not surprising.”
. . .
K “The whole world is a powder keg.”
