As I pointed out this morning, the unarguable fact that the United States is being nominally “led” by a man who is non compos mentis puts our national security and that of our allies at great risk now. A perception of American weakness on the international stage invariably invites aggression from bad actors around the world, with Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran presenting the most notable examples today.
Add to that reality the fact that we are currently involved in two hots wars - Ukraine, Gaza - and involved in Taiwan’s defense vis a vis threats from mainland China as well, and there can be little argument that the global situation is as tense today as it has been in half a century.
