* The [Washington Post] report, based on a study issued by the U.K.-based Royal United Services Institute, notes that China is undoubtedly planning an airborne assault on Taiwan.
* Trump's plan is not working. Russia's forces are making progress in Ukraine, and, viewing the response of the great democracies to his invasion as feeble, Putin is already taking on other neighbors.
