• Sam Faddis The Taliban does not control the entirety of the Panjshir valley – Just because the President fled does not mean the entire government of Afghanistan ceased to exist
• Faddis argues that Americans are in the midst of a government that wants to give diplomatic recognition to a terrorist superstate
• Will $9 billion plus in frozen assets belonging to the Afghan government wind up in the hands of the Taliban?
• Following the Taliban’s recent decree, thousands of women may be subjugated into sex slavery in Afghanistan

• George Soros warns against investing in Xi Jinping’s China
• Gordon Chang: Since assuming power in 2012, Xi Jinping has revered Mao
• Chang: Xi has disadvantaged nearly everyone in Chinese society, which makes for a lot of enemies – The Chinese political system may become more unpredictable and violent

• George Soros: “Congress should pass legislation empowering the Securities and Exchange Commission to limit the flow of funds to China.”
• Bill Walton: According to Soros, pursuing “Common Prosperity,” which may be Xi’s code word for Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), does not augur well for foreign investors – “Chinese companies proclaiming not to pursue economic objects is bad for investors”
• Walton: “Even if we did want to show muscle against China in the kinetic front, we are incapable of doing that” – The culture of the progressives is holding the U.S. and its allies back
