Taiwan is the key to AI dominance. The island is much more than a bargaining chip. It’s the center of the world’s most important tech stack, write @alexanderbenard and David Feith on.wsj.com/42zcHrh

"The war with Iran is now the second major conflict to demonstrate that the age of mass drone warfare has fully arrived — and with it, a fundamental shift in how conflicts are fought." The latest from @alexanderbenard: wapo.st/4d2HsuK

"The age of drone warfare means that the universe of targets vulnerable to attacks has expanded far beyond what government alone can reasonably protect. The government cannot station military-grade air defenses at every refinery, power plant or industrial facility. "That's why private operators need the authority to adopt basic defenses to protect their own assets." Read @alexanderbenard in @PostOpinions: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2026/…

Great and noble work by @realZalmayMK.

Pleased to meet President @DavidTrulio and distinguished members of the @RonaldReagan Presidential Foundation & Institute delegation. Peace through strength remains at the heart of #Taiwan’s vision for peace as we deepen the Taiwan-US partnership for stability & prosperity.

Final Paris 2024 medal count a proxy for US-Japan-Australia deterrence in the Indopacific.

The United States, the Philippines, and our partners are hard at work strengthening our defense industrial bases like never before. It was great to see those results and opportunities firsthand at Subic Bay.

@jonathanvswan Welcome to the team!

Thanks for all the kind notes, everyone. Was a very emotional day. Proud to be an American.

@ElbridgeColby China not only has more industrial capacity; they can also build at only 1/3 the cost in the US. The PPP vs nominal debate can be a little academic. But the ground reality is that China is able to accomplish more with less.

How do they have 200+ times our shipbuilding capacity according to ONI, then?
