Nice, Dave, to connect the dots between Congressional shenanigans and the China's glowering global interests. It's very much in the public's interest to understand what a vast obstacle Beijing has become to our preferences and necessities, to grasp how much China is working right now to undermine them, and to know why. Batchelor has done some heavy dot-connecting of his own on that tip, of course, as have the guys at ThreatsWatch. I want to highlight the antagonistic geopolitical link between China and Iran in terms of culture -- both states have venerable cultures that adopted autocratic governments. No surprise that their objectives and interests overlap -- in direct opposition to our own. Plenty to say on this point. More to come.
