This week marks the 280th birthday of Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence and America’s 3rd president. An apt Jefferson quote

I predict future happiness for Americans, if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.

How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy!

I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend.

I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical.

In the midst of the Ukrainian War, what are the strategic implications for the United States of a new Russian–Chinese–Iranian–North Korean alliance and its apparent effort to draw in ostensible American allies like India, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia?

This axis of enemies is a sign that we are witnessing the end of American and Western global supremacy.

Such an axis poses an existential danger to the U.S., given its population, GDP, resources, and nuclear capability.

There is no way India, Turkey, or Saudi Arabia will fall into the Russian–Chinese camp.

China and Russia are not natural allies and will have a falling out.

We need not worry given the NATO alliance and U.S. economic and strategic capabilities.
