• Victoria Coates talks about the world’s reaction to the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan: Our allies around the world are in a state of “shocked disbelief”
• Victoria Coates: No more nation building - Although many Americans and the people of the countries they are trying to help desire the infrastructure necessary to operate a functional government, i.e. education, a just legal system, it is not always, “ours to give”
• Coates: The international development complex, since the 1960s, has operated under the pretense that all aid must be non-conditional
• Coates: “The enemy of my enemy is NOT my friend when he is a terrorist”

• Despite what some critics have said about the Biden administration’s catering to Beijing, U.S. officials continue to monitor both Chinese and American capital flows between both nations
• How much should we trust the word of George Soros when it comes to protecting American investors from Xi Jinping’s China?
• Bill Walton: Investors tend to act under the assumption that governments are rational and always try to grow wealth - Xi is doing the exact opposite
