Retired Special Operations Master Sergeant JIM HANSON reacts to Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel’s assertion that planned military cuts will mean the US will no longer necessarily be the dominant fighting force in the world. Hanson argues that a smaller margin of superiority—or none at all—means that more American lives will unquestionably be lost in future conflicts, of which he is sure there will be many.

ANDREW DAVENPORT, of RWR Advisory Group, outlines the financial repercussions and uncertainties associated with easing economic sanctions on Iran.

Retired Congressman PETE HOEKSTRA, former chair of the House Committee on Intelligence, details the increasing international threats that make a scaling-back of the military ill-advised.

DIANA WEST, author of “American Betrayal,” examines the implications that proposed further cuts to the US military will have on its naval, air, and space superiority. Additionally, she sheds light on the recent decision to parole former United States Army First Lieutenant Michael Behenna.

Former Congressman PETE HOEKSTRA argues that the US should focus on giving asylum to foreigners who have risked their lives for the United States, rather than on loosening the immigration restrictions for people who have given material support to terrorists.

HELLE DALE, of the Heritage Foundation, looks at the role former CIA deputy director Michael Morell played in producing the official talking points in the immediate aftermath of the Benghazi tragedy on 9/11/12. She also points to the leak of a derogatory comment made in a private phone conversation by US diplomat Victoria Nuland as further evidence of Russia spying on the US.

BILL GERTZ, of the Washington Free Beacon, assesses the Muslim Brotherhood’s widespread influence and subversion operations within the United States, the Belarusian software threat embedded into the Obamacare website, and China’s new ballistic missile capability.

PATRICK CHRISTY, of the Foreign Policy Initiative, addresses Egypt’s decision to designate the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization, and predicts whether the United States will follow suit.
