Here in the mid-Atlantic, we are in the midst of a classic economic shock. Someone ... no one is officially taking credit, nor has anyone officially identified a perpetrator ... shut down a major gasoline pipeline via a software hack. I have no doubt whatsoever that this was conducted by, lead by, and paid for by one of our global adversaries - either Russia or China.
This comes within 72 hours of a Hamas-led massive missile attack on major Israeli cities.
This comes within days of the capture of a ship carrying Russian and Chinese weapons - missiles, machine guns, etc. - by the US Navy, and Iranian boats conducting "swarm attacks" of US Navy vessels.
Hamas is backed by Russia and China.
Iran is backed by Russia and China.
My opinions:
Russia and China are testing Biden administration. They sense that he is not capable of being decisive, and that he is not in full command of how we will respond. It's a presidency by committee, and committees cannot act decisively.
This will get worse before it gets better.
