Looking ahead at the upcoming 2022, I just wanna share with you that I think this could be an extraordinarily dangerous year.
We know that Vladimir Putin of Russia and XI Jinping of China are talking regularly.
They have regular meetings by Zoom, they’re cooperating, their militaries are cooperating.
We know there’s a real danger that you could have Russia move on Ukraine and China move on Taiwan at the same time, which would frankly stretch us to the breaking point.
When you add to that, that the Iranians continue to work to add nuclear weapons. And you note that Korea has not in any way backed off on its own nuclear weapons.
And you realize that terrorists continue to develop, we just had a terrorist attack that was preempted in France, where they intended to use knives to go out and kill people during the Christmas season.
And those folks were related to ISIS.
I think 2022 could become a very dangerous year and one where Americans have to really be deeply concerned about national security issues, more than any time since the end of the Cold War.
And, we have in the Biden Administration, a team, which is totally incapable of dealing with these kind of challenges.
So I think it’s a sobering time, but despite all that, I wanna wish you a very happy new year and let you know that I’ll be back with more comments for Straight Arrow News in 2022.
