Trucker mandate could shutdown supply chain

*Conservative Tree House:* *CEO of American Trucking Association Reveals 37 Percent of Truckers Will Not Comply With Vaccine Mandate – The Consequences Would Collapse Supply Chains and Civic Society* Trucking is a job that finds drivers sitting alone in a cab of the truck for hours most days. If there is a problem it should be taken care of by them masking up when loading and unloading their truck. Unless, of course, the administration really believes that masks are ineffective now. At this point, it looks like the mandates are more detrimental to the economy than the virus. read more

Kamala Harris continues to lose support

Washington Examiner: Returning Saturday from a five-day trip to Paris, Vice President Kamala Harris faced staff defections, rivals blanketing cable news networks, and an onslaught on media leaks. Aides worked overtime to prevent off-the-cuff foibles while abroad. But awaiting Harris in Washington was a near 5,000-word report detailing a slew of frustrations between the vice president, President Joe Biden, and assorted White House staff. While Biden and Harris both face sinking poll numbers, Harris’s typically fall lower, calling into question their ability to rally Democrats ahe... read more

Showdown: Iran vs. the United States in the Persian Gulf

*Sebastien Roblin* *US-Iran Relations, Middle East* The supertanker Bridgeton—formerly the Kuwaiti tanker al-Rekkah—was the first ship to receive a U.S. escort. *Here’s What You Need to Remember: *The Tanker War demonstrated how Iran could retaliate against foreign pressure through calibrated, and semi-deniable attacks on the valuable shipping passing through the narrow waters of the Gulf—even though the campaign failed to inflict substantial economic damage, or indeed sink many large ships. A less violent variant of this strategy has evidently been implemented by Tehran today in... read more

What Role Will Drones Have In the Competition With China?

*Kris Osborn* *Drone Warfare, * The transition from the war on terror to strategic competition is underway. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The concept of drone swarms, for example, does not only make sense when it comes to blanketing an area with surveillance from multiple angles at once, but also with respect to survivability and success against sophisticated enemies. The U.S. Air Force Reaper Drones were crucial to victories in the War on Terrorism by delivering lethal, decisive and precise hellfire missile attacks upon terrorist and insurgent targets.

Artificial Intelligence Can Give the U.S. the Speed It Needs to Beat China

*Kris Osborn* *Artificial Intelligence, Asia* Speed will be essential in any conflict with China. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *This kind of real-time combat networking, particularly across domains, is something the Army has been working on for decades. Success in massive, great power, multi-domain war may in coming years come down to a simple word. Speed. While of course seemingly reductive to a degree, the force with an ability to process, share and decisively act upon key, time-sensitive target data and warfare information, is certainly likely to prevail.
