Recent U.S. intelligence reports are confirming that Communist China is actively helpingย Saudi Arabia manufacture its own ballistic missiles โ€“ ostensibly to counter Iran. This comes as Team Biden desperately tries to salvage the defunct 2015 Obama-Biden Iran nuclear deal.

Even as the West watches the impressive transformation of the Chinese Peopleโ€™s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) from a coastal defense force to a true ocean fleet with aircraft carriers, the PLAN may not be the lead force in any attempted invasion of Taiwan. One expert argues that despite the impressive growth of its amphibious capabilities, Communist China may not need its Navy at all. (RELATED: How CCP China Has Infiltrated Taiwanโ€™s Military to Subvert the Islandโ€™s Defenses From Within) Instead of an amphibious naval invasion it could rely primarily on missile and air attacks followed by massive airborne and helicopter…

ANALYSIS –ย After a year of concerted political spin by both sides, if you are Democrat, you believe the incident at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, was a deadly insurrection against democracy led by former President Trump. If you are a Republican, you believe it was at worst an unarmed riot, similar to those by BLM and antifa in 2020, and Trump was at most only incidental to the event.
