On February 15, 2018, Brandon J. Weichert sat down with Mark Reardon to discuss his article on the strategic implications of the U.S. debt and the rise of the Petroyuan.
An America First National Security Agenda
“According to the snapshots of the pending NSS that have been released to the public thus far, the most important elements are the inclusion of space weaponization and technological threats.
