How Does The Biden Administration Answer for Chinese Government-funded Entities Purchasing Farmland NEAR STRATEGIC U. S. MILITARY BASES⁉️ Probably one of the most important takeaways from the Dr. Phil interview with Donald Trump is where Dr. Phil highlights the issue of Chinese government-funded entities purchasing farmland near strategic U.S. military bases.

Isn’t This a Matter or Violation of National Security and an Infringement on the Safety, Rights and Wellbeing of #WethePeople ⁉️ https://lnkd.in/gYAZRUKq

As time passes, historic events are often reshaped due to national interests or more easily available records. This sometimes results in different perspectives of the real facts. The story of the D-Day Normandy Landings on 6th June 1944 is no exception where British Forces outnumbered every other nation on that day, but where fewer people today actually know this. Hopefully the effort, ingenuity and scale of this participation and the bravery of all those who took part will not be diluted or overtaken by time?   1.

History and facts. Important to look at the underlying details before building the argument.

I don't claim to be a scholar of China's armed forces but I found this book a useful primer for those, like me, who might value an overview of the patterns of China's use of military coercion in our region. Here's the link to my review for the Australian Army Journal: https://lnkd.in/g8vfHR9g

This is a paper on the history of mission command in the U.S. Army written by a major studying at the U.S. Army's School of Advanced Military Studies (SAMS) around the time that mission command was becoming popular in the U.S. Army.

Check out this Wall Street Journal interview with NATO's top military officer, Admiral Rob Bauer. Admiral Bauer emphasizes, “It’s not only the military that has to prepare for war or the governments that have to prepare for war. The businesses have to prepare for war.” This statement highlights critical issues regarding the wartime readiness of our corporate sectors. As the world faces increased security challenges, the intersection between the military and private industry grows more significant. The sharp increase in venture capital investments in defense and military startups amidst recent global conflicts is a testament to this evolving landscape. Do you think European and American companies are actively developing their wartime contingency plans? #BusinessStrategy #NATO #Leadership #Defense #WSJ #VC #Security
