You hear all the time Mr. Trump is Putin's stooge.

Well, let's think about it.

All the presidents that were involved in Ukraine,

it was Mr. Trump who gave lethal weapons to the Ukrainians,

particularly javelin missiles.

And in the war since then, the Russians have suffered

well over half a million casualties, many of those dead.

In this episode, I sit down with China expert

and retired U.S. Marine Colonel Grant

Newsham, Research Fellow at the Center for Security Policy.

America was pushing businesses into China.

At the same time, the Chinese were telling their army be able to defeat a country with aircraft

carriers.

They meant the Americans.

Take a week and read the Chinese media, the English

language versions of it, and the venom directed at the United States, that'll give you a pretty

good sense of what our prospects are for. Really establishing a decent relationship with the Chinese

communists. I just don't think it's possible. Today, Nusham describes the unique strategy he sees in Trump's actions vis-à-vis China

and how America can leverage what he describes as the regime's kryptonite.

This is American Thought Leaders, and I'm Yanya Kellogg.

Grant Nusham, such a pleasure to have you back on American Thought Leaders.

I'm glad to be here.
