As Trump pivoted away from the shipping toll, our focus must shift to the two looming crises: sliding into a lengthy war and settling for a bad deal with Iran. My latest in RealClearDefense: https://t.co/NYsJowxcMO

President Trump warns of more strikes today and should consider using Kharg Island as a pressure point against Iran, as I detail today https://t.co/FGvdrgNSXv

I argue prioritizing the Hormuz shipping crisis first offers a faster, common-sense solution to break the current deadlock with Iran https://t.co/YTVFYrOzur

https://t.co/U0jcLe3h8A NATO reform isn't just about security—it’s a political "Trump Card." By leading on this now, the President can secure a midterm win.

[Brian G Chow @briangchow]

There is much about Trump’s national security vision that could attract bipartisan support—if the president were willing to extend an olive branch to his opponents. https://t.co/DIaMbpDVMJ

[Brian G Chow @briangchow]

The focus of the administration's public argument must now shift. Prioritize war readiness against space stalkers over secondary political issues to keep the peace. https://t.co/I9Ud74m7RH

@ckalu13 Glad you liked my piece. I very much like your piece with David as well, especially for how well it’s supported by pertinent evidence.

[Brian G Chow @briangchow]

To uphold 5% defense by 2035 and raise an additional $6.3 trillion 2026–2035, Trump must lead—delivering NATO’s promise and securing ample defense funding to meet both individual members' priorities and NATO's collective needs in the critical coming decade https://t.co/FTld8py3Eh

My op-ed reveals a NATO Dome boosts collective defense and is more cost-effective than an America-only Dome. President Trump should invite NATO into the Golden Dome Initiative without delay. https://t.co/Ic3W8MRiSX

With great respect, I’m sharing my recent op-ed on preparing for Chinese space stalking — originally written as an open letter to Gen. Saltzman — in hopes it contributes to the conversation. @SpaceForceCSO https://t.co/Fge3mTGKbe

[Brian G Chow @briangchow]

Peaceful development of the Golden Dome depends on resilient space support — and that means deploying bodyguard spacecraft to counter space stalking threats within the next several years.#GoldenDome https://t.co/tNUWIqMB5e

[Brian G Chow @briangchow]

We must act fast to help turn Gen. Saltzman's theory into practice—the Space Force can’t afford delays, especially as he emphasized the rapidly emerging threat from dual-use spacecraft. https://t.co/zCcvIYZqHp

[Brian G Chow @briangchow]

Only four reviews of Competitive Endurance, as called for by Gen. Saltzman, have appeared over the past two years. I recommend practical actions to help ensure his vision receives broader scrutiny necessary to effectively translate theory into practice. https://t.co/JnGPsbLjXK

Read @WilsonCBeaver Dear Taiwan today with interest. He may be interested in reading my two recent pieces. https://t.co/OB0f1GdjEs ; https://t.co/CBS1wajpY0

[Brian G Chow @briangchow]

My op-ed argues that now is an opportune time to engage in a constructive debate, not only on missile defense for the homeland, but also on the importance of space resiliency and its timeliness. https://t.co/CBS1waiS8s

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner or someone of similar status should promptly alert President Biden that DoD may be unprepared to prevent China from mounting a Space Pearl Harbor in the 2020s, so that DoD and others have time to catch up.

[Brian G Chow @briangchow]

The DoD and Americans may realize too late that the U.S. preparedness was too insufficient and slow to counter a looming Space Pearl Harbor. https://t.co/43Xayk1Hmm
