Happy holidays! It’s time to say Goodbye! To 2017 and Hello! To a decade of cold war with China.
They say war is too important to be left to the generals. Well, I’m getting the feeling cold war is too complicated to be left to the think tanks.
After months of diligent spadework in the US and around the world, the China hawks achieved their dream: a presidential national security statement characterizing the People’s Republic of China as a zero-sum rival.
But the rollout was awkward and ugly and the execution looks to be more of the same. That’s bad news for America and for the rest of the world. But the upside is still there for the Pentagon, defense contractors, and their think tank satellites and media auxiliaries, who get paid no matter how big the resulting shambles.
This week on China watch: the Pentagon’s plans to give North Korea a bloody nose; Trump’s National Security Strategy statement; the media storm ginned up around British PM David Cameron’s new job, and the Chinese Communist Party’s war on Christmas!

Douglas MacArthur made the first US attempt to parlay a Korean crisis into an existential confrontation with the People’s Republic of China. With the US milsec establishment, his ideas are more popular—and dangerous—than ever. My documentary uses first hand testimony and declassified archives to finally reveal the truth behind this long-suppressed event.
