Today on Frank Gaffney’s Secure Freedom Radio, author Mark Helprin discusses his latest piece in the Wall Street Journal entitled, “Hollow Talk in the South China Sea: If present military trends continue, the correlation of forces will shift much more to Beijing’s advantage within the next decade.”

Helprin lays out the diplomatic dance with historical precedent and chronicles the consistent decline in U.S. military power in the shadow of China’s build up. According to Mark, “The whole thing is going down hill very very rapidly and it’s because the Obama administration does not see American military power as a desideratum.”
