Wary of Sinophobia: Anwar Ibrahim at the ASEAN Summit
It can take much bruising, much ridicule, and much castigation to eventually reach the plateau of wisdom.

On February 25, 2024, Aaron Bushnell, a 25-year-old Air Force service member, died after setting himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington DC, shouting “free Palestine”.

Mistakes, Misfiring and Trident: Britain’s Flawed Nuclear Deterrence
Nuclear weapons are considered the strategic silverware of nation states. Occasionally, they are given a cleaning and polishing.

If a direct war would erupt between the United States and Russia, it is not going to be conventional and would surely involve NATO via article 5, and maybe China, Japan, Australia, North Korea, South Korea, Iran, and Israel.
