Could China Win A War Against the United States? . . . What Military Can Best Project Power Around the World? . . . Has Anyone Seen Tucker Carlson?

China's continuing threats against Taiwan, its Asian neighbors and, basically, the rest of the world except for a few scattered grubby dictatorships and thugocracies illustrate its hostility to the current international legal and economic system.  Renowned armchair geopolitical experts Adam and Jeff consider the likelihood that China could successfully invade Taiwan even though it has never historically projected military power very far beyond its borders.  The United States, by contrast, has utilized its worldwide military presence to become involved in one remote war after enough, usually in countries lacking luxury hotels and Michelin-rated restaurants.   Jeff also points out that the highly-successful Rent-A-Royal program is reaching out to Prince Harry in view of his having lost a $20 million Spotify deal so that Harry could supplement his income by cutting ribbons at a couple of fast food restaurants and perhaps attending the occasional wedding as a "plus one."  Finally, Jeff bemoans the fact that Tucker Carlson has still not shown up for work, despite the proximity of his shared cubicle to the office vending machines.
