On Wednesday troops in Pakistan were fighting with taliban members in an effort to move further into Taliban territory. Reports indicate that the army took the town of Sararogha and in the process killed 30 militants who were believed to be associated with or part of the Taliban. The Pakistan troops are seeking to destroy Tehreek-e-Taliban in South Waziristan.

I talk a lot about China and the threat that they pose to the United States. I am very much interested in economics so I realize that China is an integral component of the US economy. I have never wanted to suggest that we should stop doing business with China. Rather my caution has always been about advancements from China. Each year they seem to develop more and more advanced systems which will allow them to move up on the international military ladder. Normally this scares me but I thought I would look at it from a different perspective today. One » Read More

Will China and the United States square off to determine who will own outer space? It’s not likely any time too soon but the reality remains that with any potential for military and commercial gain, someone will try to own and profit from the land or in this case the space. I was startled when I head the comments from the Air Force commander of China who stated that space militarization is inevitable. Additionally the US General Chilton echoed these comments as if to agree. If this will be the case, what steps does the US need to take in » Read More

China would appear to be the number one US competitor in every field, including space advancement. According to US General Kevin Chilton, within the past ten years China has made incredible improvements to their space program. More importantly is the concern among US military leaders about what China could do with their new space technology. General Chilton commented on the program stating, “With regard to China’s capabilities, I think anyone who’s familiar with this business — and particularly our history in this business over the years — would have to be absolutely amazed at the advancement that China has made » Read More

If you have never stopped to consider the implications associated with cyber threats, I beg of you, do so now. We are living in a world where entire companies and government organizations can be crippled by cyber attacks. It is in this increasingly threatening atmosphere that we must develop ours defenses so that our governmental and commercial websites and entities are not damaged by cyber attacks. The history of these attacks is rather broad. Since governmental bodies began using computing systems and especially with the development of the internet, it has become more threatening than ever to work on governmental servers » Read More

South Korea has been on the receiving end of malicious cyber attacks lately. On Monday the South Korean police announced that South Korea would be seeking assistance from China in order to pinpoint the source for the numerous cyber attacks that South Korea has been facing lately. In July the United States and South Korea were both hit with a barrage of cyber attacks on business sites and government sites and servers. The South Korean police force is hoping that the Chinese investigation will provide some answers. I was somewhat perplexed when I first learned that South Korea will be seeking » Read More

I have noticed a trend in my excursions abroad . . . I have found that people have strong feeling towards the US and the US military. Many times people either love or hate the US and often its a lot of both. People from other countries naturally envy the US and our military / culture / economic prosperity because we are the most successful and blessed country. This may be changing in the years ahead but for now, we are numero uno. This also causes a » Read More

Why does North Korea want so badly to discuss its nuclear issues with the US alone? They want to separate us from our allies so that they can negotiate the best possible terms for their nuclear program. I have a hunch that they believe that they can get the US to provide huge sums of money in exchange for ending of the North Korean nuclear program. The truth is that they are probably right in this assertion. We will pay North Korea plenty of money because the » Read More

Is anyone else sick of North Korea? The persistent demands are starting to sound like nails on a chalkboard. Yet again North Korea is demanding that the US meet PRIVATELY with them to discuss disarmament. The US continually pleads for North Korea to meet with them in the six party discussions that we once enjoyed. Those discussions aimed at disarmament for North Korea included the US, South Korea, China, Japan, Russia, and North Korea.
