@Cold_Peace_ Too many sane voices are too quiet, Jeff. Good to see you back

It was an honor to host China Select Committee Chairman @RepMoolenaar for the @Heritage BC Lee lecture this week. He is leading pushback against the CCP in Congress.
In this clip, I use moderator's privilege to discuss China chip controls.

“The question isn’t just, who builds the most powerful [AI and biotech] models? It’s, whose values are embedded in them?.... We cannot let [the Chinese Communist Party] write the code that governs human lives.” - @RepMoolenaar

@Cold_Peace_ how is the quitting smoking working out, hopefully it worked out.

@Cold_Peace_ Putin isn’t sponsoring terror in the US, Jeff. You can’t draw parallels between Modi meeting Putin and Trump meeting the army chief of a state sponsor of terror that sponsors terror in India, which just recently massacred 26 Indians on Indian soil.
English
@Cold_Peace_ I know you do, and I understand that bit. But, again, I would be more inclined to feel that when Ukrainians said the same, or if any of those meetings with Putin were that soon. I guess more than the meeting itself, it is the timing of the same which makes it more unpalatable.
English
@_rajraman Not when the army chief *is* the head of gov't.
But in a normal country, yes.
English
@Cold_Peace_ There's a difference between meeting with the Army Chief of another country and the Head of Govt of that country.
English
I understand that sentiment. Which is why I don't think Trump should have met with him. And it's not an apples-to-apples comparison. But some people in the U.S. were saying the same thing about Modi meeting with Putin after his second invasion of Ukraine and I pushed back on them the same way. A meeting doesn't equal an endorsement of everything the other side is doing.
English
@Cold_Peace_ Sorry Jeff, a bit unfair to compare them, considering recent events, specifically the timing, and the kind of things Munir has not just said out loud but acted upon, leading directly to the loss of Indian civilian lives in the most brutal fashion.

This chart comes up every few years in my mentions and I need to clear the air once and for all. Yes, that is indeed me. I keep 8 nukes in a storage unit in Fairfax.
Sanjeev Sanyal@sanjeevsanyal
Estimates of how many nukes are owned by whom. I am somewhat concerned by some chap called Jeff who has 10 nukes...... he has been keeping quiet about it all this while.

America currently enjoys a multi-year lead in cutting-edge AI technologies. This lead is protected by certain export controls. However, those controls need updating.

Trump must protect American AI from China.
America enjoys a multi-year lead in cutting-edge AI tech, protected by export controls that prevent China from obtaining the best tech and slow its progress in developing AI with dual-use capabilities. Those controls now need updating.

@Akshay_VAK He couldn't be that articulate without being smart. That doesn't mean his judgment is always sound.
I'm more amused by the idea that Jaishankar doesn't have confidence confronting "Uncle." No one that has been in the room with EAM and Uncle would ever think he lacks confidence.
English
Not at all. Go easy on the Tharoor love. He is articulate but not smart. Remember that he recommended speaking against Russia when the Ukraine war began - can’t get such big calls wrong and be taken seriously as a foreign policy thinker. Give him a brief and he delivers it well
JB@akki_bauer22_
I used to be big fan of Jaishankar back in 2022 but now I feel he has overstayed his welcome. He doesn’t exude any confidence when it comes to confronting Uncle. Tharoor, although a Congressi, would make a far better FM. Eloquent, erudite and has the necessary experience to be FM

If we want India to be a partner on U.S. core interests, we must be a partner to India on its core interests, including terrorism. Otherwise, we will be disappointed. Deservedly so.

India-Pakistan. Ukraine-Russia.
The Drone Age is upon us.
And the only people that accurately predicted this was coming was...pretty much everyone, from the moment drone technology was introduced. We can't say we weren't warned.

China provided Pakistan with air defense and satellite support during its clash with India, according to a research group under India’s Ministry of Defence, suggesting that Beijing was more directly involved in the conflict than was previously disclosed. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

This isn’t about solar panels. It’s about strategic infiltration.
The CCP is using the global energy transition as a vector for technical occupation of civilian infrastructure. Undocumented communication modules in solar inverters create silent control channels—a peacetime espionage layer and a wartime sabotage trigger.
English
Experts took apart some Chinese-made solar panels and found rogue, undocumented communication devices in the power inverters. [Which should surprise no one].
China's response: "We oppose the generalization of the concept of national security"
Lol, you can't make this shit up.
