    PDB Afternoon Bulletin | March 15th, 2024: Paramilitary Groups Bring The Fight To Russia & The Drone Threat At The US Border

    enMarch 15, 2024

    Podcast Summary

    • Geopolitical tensions along borders impact healthcare costsEvernorth Health Services addresses business healthcare needs while geopolitical tensions along Ukrainian-Russian and US-Canadian borders potentially increase costs due to security concerns and potential disruptions.

      Evernorth Health Services is dedicated to providing effective and cost-efficient healthcare solutions, including behavioral health, pharmacy benefits, and complex specialty care, while saving businesses billions. Meanwhile, geopolitical tensions remain high, with ongoing combat zones along the Ukrainian-Russian border and increased drone activity at the US-Canadian border potentially linked to criminal organizations. The situation in Ukraine continues to evolve, with pro-Ukrainian forces launching attacks into Russian territory and Russian officials denying any incursions. Additionally, NORAD has reported over 1000 drone incursions at the US-Canadian border each month, raising concerns about security and potential links to human smuggling and drug trafficking.

    • Russian-Ukrainian border: Conflicting reports on clashes and election influenceRussian forces clash with Ukrainian paramilitaries, influencing the Russian presidential election, while opposition figures are either deceased or imprisoned, and US southern border faces drone incursions.

      The situation at the Russian-Ukrainian border remains complex and unclear, with conflicting reports from both sides. While Russian authorities claim they've driven back pro-Ukrainian groups and inflicted heavy losses, these figures cannot be confirmed, and Ukrainian paramilitary groups continue to report attacks and call for civilian evacuations. The activity comes as Russians vote in their presidential election, with some speculating that the incursions were timed to influence the vote. Despite this, the main opposition figures to Putin are either deceased or imprisoned, limiting alternatives for Russians. Meanwhile, reports of drone incursions at the US southern border have raised concerns, prompting a warning from NORAD's commander.

    • Drones and Chinese nationals pose threats at US southern borderOver 1,000 drone incursions and over 20,000 Chinese crossings at US southern border are major concerns for national security officials

      There are significant concerns regarding the increasing use of drones by criminal groups at the US southern border, with estimates suggesting over 1,000 drone incursions per month. This poses a pressing national security concern, although there's no indication yet of an imminent threat to the homeland. Meanwhile, the record number of Chinese nationals crossing the border is also a major concern, with over 20,000 having crossed since October 1st. Senior defense officials, including new NORAD commander General Gregory Gill, are making addressing these issues a priority.

    • Chinese Illegal Immigrants at the Southern Border Pose National Security RisksThe surge in Chinese illegal immigrants at the US southern border poses significant national security concerns due to the potential for counterintelligence to hide among them. The Biden administration's decision to end border policies has resulted in record numbers of unvetted migrants, straining resources and increasing risks.

      The rapid increase in Chinese illegal immigrants entering the US through the southern border is causing significant national security concerns. General Gill testified before Congress about the concentration of Chinese migrants in one location and the potential for counterintelligence to hide among them. Former top FBI officials have also expressed concern about the large number of military-age single males entering the country. The Biden administration's decision to end border policies implemented by the previous administration has resulted in record numbers of unvetted illegal migrants, putting a strain on resources and increasing security risks. The situation is unsustainable, and both political parties will need to work together to address the issue.
