Supply Chain

A sustained intrusion campaign has hit U.S. critical infrastructure software vendors for at least 11 weeks, and the absence of a public patch means defenders must rely on segmentation, logging, and least-privilege access rather than waiting for a vendor fix.

The Pentagon relies on foreign suppliers for critical components, which leaves the United States economically exposed and strategically weak. Rebuilding domestic manufacturing is not optional. It is a national security imperative that Congress must fund without delay.

The Pentagon depends on China for most rare earth processing, and tariffs cannot fix that dependency. America needs domestic refining and allied supply chains before any trade war becomes credible. National security starts with supply chain economics, not tariff announcements.

The Iran conflict is choking off helium supplies and threatening chip manufacturing. This is what happens when supply chain naivety meets geopolitical reality.
