I’m often asked by family and friends “Mark, these things happening in the Far East, what’s going on and what does it mean?” Everyone around me knows I keep up with global geopolitics… most former military folks do. I enjoy talking and writing about these events so I’ll be writing about current events here. My podcast episodes will also be found here on the blog page. My intentions are to give readers a deeper understanding of current events using the simple government framework of how they affect America’s diplomatic, informational, military, and economic elements of national power. Lessons From the Cockpit podcast episodes will be posted here with all of the information and links for each episode. I’ll post here when something really important happens in the news.
