CIA chief: China has some doubt on ability to invade Taiwan

U.S. intelligence shows that China’s President Xi Jinping has instructed his country’s military to “be ready by 2027” to invade Taiwan, though he may be harboring doubts about his ability to do so given Russia’s experience in its war with Ukraine, CIA Director William Burns said.

Putin: will ‘take into account’ NATO’s nuclear capability

As he has done repeatedly during the Ukraine war, Putin claimed that Russia faces an existential threat because, in his view, NATO members are seeking the country’s “strategic defeat.”

It has been a year since the war in Ukraine started. Russia hasn’t gained much and lost many through death. Putin needs to wake up, and negotiate. Putin claims he can wait and let Ukraine fall apart. Good luck with that. The Ukrainian people are strong, and will never give up.

I had a wonderful weekend with my family at the Oregon coast. Spent a lot of time talking and laughing. Got a change to talk to my son who is a retired Colonel. He is struggling with a brain problem, and is getting help from the VA. He was always upbeat and cheering up his family. He is a leader’s leader.

Not very much current military news today. I guess that is a good thing.

______________________________________________________________

Saw an article that was an interview with a Army General on his views of the Ukraine war. He was very clear that the Russians were undertrained, and not capable of being a good fighting force.

Using prisoners is a disaster. They have no training and are sent to the front lines to be slaughtered.

The assistance from the United States has made a huge difference. Ukrainians are be trained with the latest weapons.

Russia is using WWII type weapons, and it shows.

The generals prediction is that the war will end in negotiations.

_________________________________________________________________

I am now down to just three interviews left and then it is off to the publisher, BookBaby. Thos interviews are:

  1. Charles Strange- a Gold Star father
  2. Milton Hoch- a Vietnam veteran.
  3. A submariner who was on a nuclear sub.

These three interviews will be exciting. The Vietnam interview will be riveting, and most interesting.

I encourage you to check on your friends and neighbors. I did that and found that three of my neighbors were veterans. One of them was a WWII veteran. Two have passed on, but they will be remembered forever.

I go to coffee twice a week, and I found out that two of my coffee buddies are veterans. There is another coffee group that meets at the same time. They have three veterans.

Reach out to find veterans. Be their friends, and help them if they need help.
