I knew I subscribed for a reason. You see it so clear. This is a different kind of fight now in the 21st century. The US-China great power competition was enabled by the very globalists who want to erase the traditional west and rule over a region of commercial slave colonies. China is the governance model they want for the west and the world.
We might not be as fast in some respects, since they are a totally unitary state, the Trump administration is marshalling resources toward top national security priorities. I wouldn't be surprised if AI hyperscaler capex is partly a function of government-industry national security collaboration. The state will need to give strategic direction to the market to compete in the 21st century.
Trump doing what he has done taking equity stakes show just how clear some members of his team see the field too. The risk is going too far, as you astutely note.
Aside from not going after the string pullers (the same group who controls the CIA and always gets a free pass) Trump is doing a good job; there’s only so much he can do
I'm not a lawyer but I've long felt that getting as much of the CIA out of the country would be good, with long rotations. If they take their family along, even better. Give them make-work assignments where they are kept under close watch on global military bases. Observe all communication, etc. Maximize their legal limbo. And do anything to prevent them from all being clustered in Washington under friendly judges. A little FUD would go a long, long way in preventing bad behavior in the first place.
I think we could probably shut down the CIA, or most of it, and be better off for it, but you have good instincts on this sort of thing. Any federal employee who can't be fired immediately and is in a position to sabotage the administration, ought to be doing make-work somewhere under observation. And dispersing them from DC is a good idea too.
I agree Zach. As it stands, even the mere mention of “CIA” involvement with 9/11 and Vegas (see “Route 91” by Mindy Robinson on Internet Archive) is enough to get you labeled as a traitor - to the Deep State - by someone like Pam Bondi. I worry the FBI or ATF would just be there to pick up the slack if the CIA was reigned in. Even former CIA officers demand an end to the CIA’s covert operations. The thought of them carrying out black ops in our country - something we’ve long said shouldn’t be carried out in other countries - should be enough to make every American shudder
Ultimately, the president needs the ability (that is, the option) to send government employees involved with (critical?) state security to a military court for charges of lesser crimes. Using these political civilian courts to manage the intelligence agencies and deep state is banana republic. The key is maximizing FUD, make it harder to predict the system, hence game the system.
Comey went in without a care in the world, because he knew he’d be acquitted. Not a lawyer either, so pls pardon my jargon if it’s incorrect. It’s hard to tell if Trump is walking a tightrope, or not. Without some special interests’ backing, he wouldn’t have gotten elected. It’s why we’ll never see a reformer like Ron Paul
