There is a running debate, do we secure the American border, counter Chinese worldwide influence operations, or do we deter China from launching the more overt, kinetic phase of World War III in the Western Pacific? The answer is clear and intuitive – yes. All must be done simultaneously. Borders matter, countering influence operations are important, and visible, demonstrative deterrence actions (which sometimes include dramatic teaching points through direct action) around the world are also the priority. When defending our incredible Constitutional Republic, we must walk and chew gum at the same time. I give my best national security advice and recommendations regardless of who is in office. If a non-America First Administration smarmily rips off the idea, re-titles it, and implements it, that’s a victory. If an America First Administration, does it (which they likely will do anyway without having to be named and shamed) that’s a victory also.
Buried in the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (Conference Report edition) is Section 1013 which starts with the following pre-amble:
SEC. 1013. DISRUPTION OF FENTANYL TRAFFICKING.
(a) DEVELOPMENT OF STRATEGY TO COUNTER FENTANYL TRAFFICKING.—
(1) STRATEGY.—Not later than 120 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General and in coordination with appropriate Federal, State, Tribal, and local law enforcement agencies, shall develop and submit to the appropriate congressional committees a strategy to address threats to the national security of the United States caused or exacerbated by fentanyl trafficking.
There are additional paragraphs of implied and specified tasks to the Departments and Agencies, but the gravity of the Section should not be derided or dismissed – this is the starting point to address the bloodbath of Fentanyl in the American homeland.

gwp stinks and I will never clink on an article from that place
The border stays wide open but the NDAA is going to get Fentanyl under control? Biden gang doesn’t give a ****.
who snuck this in?
Yes. In fact, they need to counter the fenanyl problem in order to preserve the open border, because these drugs are helping to villify the open border and contributing to biden’s polling numbers. But make no mistake, the globalist destruction of the U.S. sovereignty must and will continue at all costs.
Barrack’s game plan is working.
Either they are hoping that pretending to solve fentanyl will be enough, or they actually believe that an NDAA change (with an "explanation" from KJP) is going to solve the fentanyl problem.
The solution to this problem is very simple.

Like nearly all problems that we face, the problem is CREATED by Government and thus cannot be solved by Government.
Yeah, all need to be done - but starting with the border.
Small Chinese military teams walking into our country can take out critical infrastructure during the start up to a war... And their balloon stunt gave them critical information about some of our most sensitive installments.
Good point. The chicoms used a spy balloon to scout out military installations then sent their soldiers over our border. My bet it that biden is flying them to towns near those same military installations.
I'm guessing critical Chinese military teams are not going through 'processing'. Why I would think that considering the only function our border people are preforming is to get illegals into the country as quickly as possible surprises even me. But a part of me prays there are some decent 'intelligence' people who are at least looking where the Chinese saboteurs are being sent.
