Washington’s “Second Coming” to Asia: Militants, Ports, and Pressure Points

President Trump’s renewed focus on regaining the Bagram Air Base and developing Pakistan’s Pasni Port signals Washington’s attempt to reassert strategic influence in a region increasingly dominated by China, Russia, and Iran.

Washington’s “second coming” to Asia

Pakistan’s Pasni Port, located in Balochistan province, sits at the crossroads of strategic infrastructure and insurgent resistance. The Western-backed Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), active in the region, has long targeted Chinese-financed projects. The BLA maintains ties with both the Pakistan Taliban and ISIS-K—a faction recently linked to recruiting Uygur militants. Separately, U.S. support for Uygur militants predates this trend, with allegations tracing back to the 1970s/1980s. Rep. Perry has claimed that ISIS-K received backing from USAID, adding another layer to the region’s militant entanglements. 

This only deepens my suspicion that recapturing Bagram Air Base could serve as a launchpad—not merely for tactical leverage, but to stir Uygur militant resistance against Beijing or pressure China with a second front in the event of a future Pacific conflict.

Wisconsin Congressman reveals what the government shutdown is actually about

Oct 15, 2025: “Complete baloney.” US Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Black Earth) wants Wisconsinites to know that the recurring Republican claim that Democrats are holding out on the federal budget because they want undocumented immigrants to receive health benefits is “manure.” What Democrats really want? Tax credits that provide subsidies for most people who buy health insurance on the federal marketplace—making health insurance more affordable. Pocan says people in Wisconsin and all over the country will find out in the next couple of weeks what insurance premium hikes will look like as they buy their health insurance through the federal HealthCare.gov marketplace under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Pocan says with premiums going up and losing subsidies, “a couple, 60 years old, making $85,000 in my district could see somewhere between a $16,000 and $17,000 increase next year in their premiums.” Pocan hosted town halls throughout Wisconsin’s 3rd Congressional District this week—that’s not his own district—since Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-Prairie du Chien), who represents the 3rd, hasn’t been doing them. Pocan says he wants to give people a voice, let them know what’s happening, and answer questions. ✏️ 🎥 Salina Heller
