    I think North Korea can put the warheads on long range missiles today. I just think they can't really determine with any accuracy where those missles will end up landing once they've "lit the fuse"

    Whether it's Russia or Hamas, Biden's weakness is causing our enemies to think that now is the time to make their military moves. No respect for America's strength anymore. I hope China is not next in line. Any of our adversaries could walk across the Southern border and infiltrate our country, including Hamas. This is a massive national security risk.

    No, the increasingly isolationist position of Trump and his supporters are emboldening Russia, Iran, China, and North Korea.

    It's your side that isn't willing to help Ukraine which only further emboldens them.

    It can be both true that the War on Terror on was a colossal boondoggle and standing up to Russia, China, NK, and Iran is worthwhile. They are pushing because they feel like they can get away with it.

    lol - that’s absurdly wrong. They waited for Biden before making their move. Really simple to see what happened. They see a weak, feeble old man who they don’t respect. Americas enemies respected Trump, and didn’t test him. They are walking all over Biden and the world is now destabilized.

    No kidding. Remember how North Korea walked all over Trump? They got him to cancel joint maneuvers with S. Korea, got Trump to meet with the leader of N. Korea, and gave up nothing at all. Incredibly weak.

    Remember how Trump sold out American Intel while slobbering over Putin in Helsinki? What an embarrassment he was.

    I’ve been talking to relatives in Asia who don’t think the PRC will
    Invade Taiwan. The feeling is they the PRC knows it will be too costly to invade.
