Joe Biden wants us to believe that his subordinates' renewed “dialogues” with Chinese officials are improving bilateral relations damaged by what he has derisively characterized as the “silly balloon.”  The President may be deluded, or simply deceiving us. But the reality is very different: The Chinese Communist Party is actually preparing assiduously to complement the “unrestricted warfare” it has waged against us for decades – as documented in our bestselling new book, The Indictment – with a shooting war against America and her allies. We must never forget that Japanese negotiators were meeting in Washington as their country launched its attack on Pearl Harbor.  Our people are gravely disserved – and put at heightened risk – by the false and misleading assurance that Team Biden's feckless, if not actually Chinese-“captured,” officials will talk the CCP out of war, when only “peace through strength” will deter it.  This is Frank Gaffney.

Germany is supposed to be sending anti-tank rockets & Stinger surface to air missiles possibly to be delivered across the Polish-Ukraine frontier. People in Kyiv are trying to leave. The news shows Russians destroying indiscriminately the cities they are attacking.

No war YET. Slow news day. S.s.d.d.

Financial markets are quiet with the US on holiday, but the European arena is offering some distractions. US President Biden and Russian President Putin have agreed in principle to meet. This has boosted risk assets, but markets are not good at pricing in political risk properly.
