Ross Perot Jr. says Xi Jinping wants Taiwan by 2027.
"I mean, we should believe him. If he goes to war, the damage to the global economy is staggering."
His answer is deterrence. "If you're strong, you maintain peace. And with peace, you buy time, and time is on the side of democracy."
He thinks time favors us: China's population is set to shrink, while North America has the best demographics, economy and energy story in the world. What he worries about is our resolve.
"Our issue is will. Do we have the will to continue to protect and build our nation?"
Give this man every honor we have, but don't politicize it. Don't co-opt his heroism. God bless him for having this courage. He was called to the moment, and ... damn. https://t.co/7yMgfctWX9

OBAMA on IRAN WAR: Meanwhile, you've got the defense secretary who's squarely focused on the jawlines and testosterone levels of our troops. How much time do you think this Defense Secretary spends looking at himself in the mirror in the morning?

@LizMair@TPCarney@cjscalia@JCChicagoHusky Norman: "Maybe all I really know about Paul is that he was a fine fisherman."
