Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he breaks down today’s biggest stories shaping America and the world.
Ukraine’s Covert Drone Strike on Russia’s Nuclear Bombers – In a bold operation dubbed “Spider Web,” Ukraine smuggles explosive-laden drones into Russia disguised as backyard sheds, damaging up to 40 nuclear-capable bombers. The strike signals a new era in covert drone warfare and offers a chilling preview of what China might replicate on U.S. soil.
Drone Warfare and Port Vulnerabilities Raise U.S. Security Concerns – Bryan connects Ukraine’s tactics to vulnerabilities in U.S. ports, especially Chinese-built cranes embedded with suspect electronics. He warns that the threat of Trojan-horse-style drone attacks is now a domestic risk, not just a foreign battlefield tactic.
China’s Rare Earth Blackmail Threatens U.S. Auto Industry – Despite Trump’s tariff rollbacks, China is withholding critical rare earth exports, putting U.S. vehicle production on the brink. Trump responds by suspending Chinese student visas and weighing further retaliatory measures.
Defense Secretary Warns: Taiwan Invasion “Could Be Imminent” – At the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth warns that China is training daily for a Taiwan assault. He urges U.S. readiness and tells Europe to focus on Russian threats instead of meddling in Asia.
Analysis: Is Putin Helping Xi By Prolonging the Ukraine War? – Bryan outlines a possible coordination between Russia and China, using Ukraine to distract and weaken the West as Beijing prepares for action on Taiwan.
