Carl Higbie delivered a blunt warning on Friday’s FRONTLINE: President Trump is playing a high-stakes geopolitical game that uses Russia as a lever to put unbearable pressure on the Chinese Communist Party. Higbie laid out how economic pain, diplomatic isolation, and shifting alliances are combining in a single strategy meant to choke Beijing’s overreach without sacrificing American strength.
This approach comes as the Trump administration has not shied away from hard power or decisive moves abroad, demonstrated most recently by Operation Epic Fury and the Pentagon’s ongoing posture adjustments in the region. The U.S. has shown it will use military, economic, and diplomatic tools in concert to defend American interests and punish hostile actors who threaten our allies and supply lines.
Breaking the cozy axis between Beijing and Moscow is central to this plan, and that means using tariffs, sanctions, and smart diplomacy to create fractures where they matter. As voices inside the administration and allies on the right have argued, tough economic measures will drive Xi to the bargaining table and expose the vulnerabilities of China’s export-dependent strategy.
Let’s be blunt: the weak-kneed globalism of the last few decades handed China the keys to our manufacturing and critical supply chains, and the results have been catastrophic for American workers and national security. Conservatives should cheer a president who finally treats competition like real competition — not a kumbaya summit where we hand our advantages away and call it diplomacy.
The political class and the cable-media chorus will howl about risk, but courage and muscle are the only language dictators understand. While leftist elites wring their hands, patriotic Americans see a commander-in-chief willing to restore deterrence and protect our way of life.
If you’re tired of watching our country get lectured and looted by foreign adversaries and feckless elites, watch what happens next and stand with leaders who back strength over surrender. Newsmax and hosts like Carl Higbie are giving Americans the straight talk they deserve — and that kind of clarity matters in a fight for the future of the Republic.
