President Xi's new nationalism has scary undertones of Germany post WW1. ASCF Sr. Fellow Alan Dowd talks to podcast host Joy Votrobek about President Xi's gratitude to the CCP for making China great again and the favorable treatment of the Han ethnic group. Xi's new nationalism seems a far cry from the original Maoist-Marxism ideology. Also discussed are the atrocities the CCP has inflicted on other ethnic and religious groups in China.

Is it COVID, Afghanistan debacle, or the culture war? Col. (Ret.) Bill Prince gives his opinion to ASCF Sr. Analyst Laurence Sanford and podcast host Joy Votrobek. Col. Prince also summarizes what he believes needs to be done to rebuild a strong U.S. military.

Special guest Derek Maltz, Retired Director DEA Special Ops Division, talks from first-hand experience on the fentanyl crisis facing America. The Mexican Drug cartels and Chinese suppliers are making so much money from fentanyl that they don't care about our children being poisoned. People think they buy one thing, like Xanax, Adderall, or even Marijuana, which can be laced with fentanyl. Parents, please have this on your radar. One pill can kill!

ASCF's Sr. Fellow Alan Dowd speaks with podcast Host Joy Votrobek about the rise of global allies in response to authoritarian regime challenges. NATO allies have increased their military spending and support for Ukraine as well operations worldwide. Indo-Pacific allies are also rising to the authoritarian challenges with increased spending and coordinated training exercises with the United States and other allied countries.

America's greatest assets are its resources, one of which is oil. Sr. Analyst Laurence Sanford discusses why mandating EVs and subsidizing alternative energy programs weaken the American economy while strengthening China's. China consumes and produces 10x more coal than the U.S. (CIA World Factbook) - a much more significant factor in CO2 emissions.

Did you know the Chinese government limits the time their children can watch the Chinese version of TikTok (Douyin)? TikTok was founded by ByteDance, a Chinese company headquartered in Beijing. Read Mr. Sanford's entire article at www.ascf.us/news/china-crimes--tiktok---by-Laurence-f-sanford/

ASCF Sr. Analyst Laurence Sanford briefs us on his article, "US Military - Paper Tiger?" "The finest military equipment in the world is toothless if it is not manned by the finest personnel. And the US military tooth is being hollowed out at its core by work, corrupt, and incompetent leadership."
