Description

In a Senate Armed Services hearing, Senator John Kennedy confronts a U.S. general and a U.S. admiral with a question neither is willing to answer, because answering isn't their call to make. The exchange turns on two live decisions shaping American power abroad: whether to unlock frozen Russian assets for Ukraine, and whether to sell Taiwan the weapons it has been asking for. Three hundred billion dollars. Funds tied to Russia's war, a Taiwan Strait China is watching closely, and a boundary the U.S. military has stayed inside for generations. Kennedy lays out the stakes in real time: the war in Ukraine, the standoff with China over Taiwan, and two officers who keep declining to answer — not out of evasion, but because the decision belongs to civilians, not soldiers.
