General Flynn goes above and beyond with his extraordinary assessment based on expertise, experience, and foresight. A very stark look at the axis of evil and its motives. We need to stay serious and vigilant. I hope President Trump is getting the best advice possible from the right people in important positions. Thank you for keeping the American people informed.

EXCELLENT model General Flynn, my very respectful and humble comment/suggestion. If it has not been done yet, is to input in your model the following assumptions, and evaluate results.

Israel’s decision to destroy Iran’s nuclear (bomb making) infrastructure and the possibility of a regime change in Iran, if successful, will hurt China’s BRI modus operandi.

If successful, the Iranian (Persian) society will look to the West as a model for development and growth, as most of the Arab nations are doing now, stability should follow, and oil revenue could could support the construction of a new Iran.

China (CCCP), needs vasts amounts of energy to fuel their economy, the less clout they have over oil and gas producing countries in the Middle East and Latin America (Venezuela) their BRI will start to loosen up.

That leaves Russia, they would have the following choice to make: sell to Western Europe or sell to China. The outcome from the Ukrainian war, diplomacy and geopolitics could help drive that decision to look West as they will also need to rebuild their economy, unless the China tries and succeeds in implementing a BRI around the Russian bear.

TRUTH.

It was a sad day when the Shaw passed and Persia degenerated into Iran. For the people who lived there, for the region, and for the world.

President Trump will fracture MAGA if he goes to War with Iran. The Estab Repubs won't be upset either, the dirty secret is that the Congressional Repubs Prefer Minority House status, and just tolerate MAGA until Trump leaves office in 2028.

With No Responsibility to Govern, Repubs will just complain on Faux Newz about the democRats and raise $$$$ from the Corp/Oligarchs and Sheeples.

Estab Repubs are Quislings rolling over for their democRat DC cousins with meaningless , ineffective "opposition". District of Criminals is a good life, with Wonderful $$$$ graft.

Exactly, Gen. Flynn. China and Iran are our danger.

The fragile economy of China: not much of an issue because the people have been conditioned to a government that can enforce labor which is fortunate because the Chinese decided they wanted no more advice from the London and New York bankers despite the warnings of Yellen.

Smart.

China and its pro-Iran stance: China has invested heavily in Iran for its trade initiative. The loss of this objective would be significant. It’s also a loss to peace through trade. It’s a no-win for everyone other than the leadership in a country that believes Iran needs a regime change. For that sense of security, the US has supported the deaths of millions of innocent people and impoverished its own which continues today.

Stupid.

China on tech: I was a Computer Science student. In every class, 60% or more were Chinese nationals. It is a fantasy to believe the Chinese need any help from any country anywhere. They select their brightest students which our universities welcome. The grasshopper waits to jump.

Smart.

Taiwan is a con. The US invented the chip and yet our politicians allowed its manufacture to be outsourced by international companies who our politicians now expect the US taxpayer to protect.

Stupid. No crazy.

Thank you for the A.M. SITREP General Sir. It provides me a solid alternative to the DAVOS approved American gaslite media productions. I have zero reservations about your analysis of the grand delusion being played out. My hope is the crumbling house of cards China has created. They've spread there resources pretty thin. And their house is crumbling from the inside. Millions of layoffs, people committing suicide in the parking lot. Shipping companies folding. Entire metropolitan areas developed yet remaining empty. People unable to afford to pay the rent in the developed areas. Unrest growing amongst the population as a result of the slowing economy. A bizarre situation in the local economy developing. Wherein the Chinese people cannot afford the products built to American specifications.And the manufacturers were hoping to unload their products locally. Due to slowing international sales worldwide. It seems as though products produced for local consumption. Are lower in price and of lesser quality. Many indicators that reflect negatively on the Chinese economy. That makes them dangerous and unpredictable. But it reveals a truth that is being leveraged by president Trump I believe. It confirms that the Chinese juggernaut is dependent on the American consumers. So while Xi is throwing cash around buying loyalties internationally. The cash flow may be crumbling do to president Trump's economic strategies. Considering these tangible problems facing Xi and the CCP. I'm wondering how that translates to slowing the belt & road initiatives.

Always on the target General Flynn but this is a complex situation

The theater of Israel-Iran war is to prevent destruction by nuclear weapon of Israel and later us or anyone that Iran hates

But

However China sees an oil producer that they can buy cheaper if they protect Iran

So is that if Iran then China would struggle enough by loosing Iran that it would have to stop trying to destroy our economy? With spying / Fentanyl and pandemics and chaos through the liberals

If China poses as a neutral and global peacemaker to the Middle East does it mean young Iranians would choose China as their leader after the war? Hard to believe!

The controlled instability as you describe includes providing weapons to Iran while getting oil from Iran? And blocking Suez canal? And distracting the world from circling Taiwan

So does it make the theater of Ukraine - Russian war also a separate strategy where China is backing up corruption in Ukraine to continue the war or is it strictly a Russian- Ukraine war ? I do not see President Xi ordering around Putin for some reason!
