The United Kingdom could resort to military force against China in the event of an escalation over Taiwan, British Defense Secretary John Healey has said, though he emphasized that London continues to prefer a diplomatic resolution.

Speaking to The Telegraph during a visit to Australia, Healey said Britain would “secure peace through strength”if necessary – marking one of the clearest signals yet from a senior UK official regarding the possibility of direct confrontation with Beijing.

David Milne is an Aberdeenshire local who lives beside Trump's golf course. He won a bitter battle to stop Trump kicking him out his home and famously raised a Mexican flag above the course during the President's last visit.

Martin Ford was a councillor at the time and drew the future President's ire by casting the deciding vote to block his course getting built there.

Israel’s key enablers, the G7, plus Australia and New Zealand, have succeeded in muscling Israel back onto the invite list for the commemorations in Nagasaki on 9 August. Last year Israel was excluded, triggering a refusal by these countries to attend in 2024. Does the ‘personal’ invitation that Nagasaki has just sent to Israel represent a triumph of Western diplomacy or a sick joke?

Nvidia’s CEO, Jensen Huang, says the chipmaker has won approval from the Trump administration to sell its advanced computer chips used to develop artificial intelligence to China.

“Today, I’m announcing that the US government has approved for us filing licenses to start shipping H20s,” Huang told reporters in Beijing. 

The news came in a company blog post late on Monday.

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino boldly declared Saturday that he made recent discoveries about government corruption and weaponization that shocked him down to the core.

Without elaborating on what he found out, Bongino teased that investigations into those discoveries are ongoing and being done “by the book.”

“What I have learned in the course of our properly predicated and necessary investigations into these aforementioned matters, has shocked me down to my core,” Bongino said in a shocking announcement on X.

“We cannot run a Republic like this. I’ll never be the same after learning what I’ve learned.”

In this powerful and eye-opening talk, Professor Jeffrey Sachs breaks down the core of U.S. foreign policy through the lens of imperial dominance. Sachs argues that the United States views countries like Russia and China as threats—not because of ideology or aggression, but because they are large, successful, and challenge American global supremacy.

China is dumping US Treasuries at great speed as the US continues to overextend itself and weaponising the dollar. Stealing Russian assets was a historic mistake… 375,300 views… Not bad…

Knowledge of Russian language could help NATO members to finally understand that Moscow not planning to attack NATO countries, says Russian presidential aide Nikolai Patrushev.

"Learning foreign languages is a useful thing. Maybe knowing Russian language could help NATO members finally understand the words of the Russian president that our country is not going to attack NATO countries," Putin's aide said.

In June, Rutte said that if NATO members failed to raise military spending to 5% of GDP, they would have to "learn to speak Russian.”

"All these horror stories are intended only to distract the population of Europe from the deplorable state of EU economies. You can speak any language except the language of force, threats and blackmail," Patrushev added.

In Part 1 we looked at the official account of the October 7th Hamas Attack. In addition to a rocket barrage on multiple targets and maritime assaults, an estimated 2,900 Hamas-aligned “terrorists” breached the Israeli “Iron Wall” defences surrounding Gaza in 29 separate locations simultaneously.

The “terrorists” took out all the vital communication infrastructure and key Israeli strategic positions, thus leaving Israeli defences unable to respond for many hours. The attack surprised the Israeli intelligence community which was taken off guard by the scale and speed of the Hamas Attack.

In the four days of coverage after President Donald Trump ordered strikes on Iran (6/21–24/25), the New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal and Washington Post responded with 36 opinion pieces and editorials. Almost half of these, 17, explicitly supported the illegal bombing, while only 7 (19%) took an overall critical view of the strikes—none of them in the Journal or the Post.

Since the start of the war in Ukraine, in February 2022, Volodymyr Zelensky has been elevated to the status of a hero King, pure in thought and deed, interested only in saving humble Ukraine from the onrushing hordes of Russian Orcs. Like Aragorn from Lord of the Rings, but short, thin-skinned and with a gravelly voice. He has been completely immune from any criticism in the west, with all allegations dismissed and labelled as Kremlin talking points.

From hero to zero

Yet, in an instant, that illusion has been shattered.

For the first time since February 2022, Zelensky has been revealed as, in practical terms, no different from other Ukrainian Presidents who have preceded him since the country gained independence in August 1991; corrupt and authoritarian.

When the IRS announced two weeks ago that it would not enforce a section of federal law commonly called the Johnson Amendment, many clerics rejoiced. The Johnson Amendment — named for its author, then-Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson — strikes a bargain with charities. You accept tax-free dollars, you stay out of the political arena.

Many new philosophers have adapted to the technologies of today. Gone are the simple esoteric values of behaviour. One pompously discusses the power of AI versus human intelligence with warnings and adoption. We see goodness and dangerous evil still, but not so much within ourselves.

Not so strangely, the warriors are still in front — preparing the populaces into their next fights … Even the dichotomy of war and peace is a fight — like a carousel of musical chairs in an amusement park.
