The destruction of DOD’s Office Net Assessment will be celebrated in Beijing & Moscow. This little-known but enormously consequential 50 year-old institution actually thought long-term. It helped us win the Cold War, grasped the China challenge early, and figured out revolutions in warfare.

3 things: (if one still has bargaining chips): 1. Be like Mexico, agreed to secure border. 2. Be like Poland, bump up defense spending. 3. Be like Abe/ Netanyahu, shower Trump with praises in public, give him the proper respect he thinks he deserves. Let the negotiation be done under the table.

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

I'll summarize the whole podcast genre: " If you are entertaining, people will listen to you and buy what you are selling. Including politics " They will not check your background, your education or fact check you It's a podcast. They are trying to kill time. Entertainment sells.

Stop weighing and do it. And formalize citizenship for their undocumented children. It's only just. The kids did nothing to deserve their stateless status.

Useful article depicting KMT's identify crisis as it loses relevance. Useful summary of KMT's attempts at centralizing power in legislature, and to pass laws to enable China to infiltrate into and take over Taiwan—clearly KMT has pivoted towards subservience to CCP.
