Chinese Military Warns U.S. Navy Plane to Stay Away or ‘Pay Full Responsibility’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Chinese military had a warning for the U.S. after an encounter escalated tensions between the two countries.

A U.S. Navy P-8 plane was recently flying 30 miles outside the South China Sea when it received a radio call from China to move away from its airspace.

“No approaching anymore, or you will pay full responsibility,” an operative of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) said over the radio.

Lt. Nikki Slaughter, who was piloting the U.S. Navy P-8 aircraft at the time, quickly responded just as a Chinese jet armed with air-to-air missiles came up alongside them.

“PLA fighter aircraft, this is U.S. Navy P-8A. I have you off my left wing, and I intend to proceed to the west. I request that you do the same, over,” Slaughter said. (Read more from “Chinese Military Warns U.S. Navy Plane to Stay Away or ‘Pay Full Responsibility'” HERE)

Zelensky’s Message on Ukraine War Anniversary: ‘We Will Defeat Everyone’

/0 Comments/in , /by

A defiant Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky marked the somber anniversary of the Russian invasion by vowing to bring his country to victory as battles raged on in the east with no end in sight to the conflict.

At a solemn ceremony on St. Sophia Square in Kyiv, a visibly emotional Zelensky handed out medals to soldiers and families of those killed and held back tears when a military band played the national anthem under Ukraine’s yellow-and-blue national flag fluttering in the wind. . .

The 45-year-old first-term president sat at a desk and recalled how he addressed Ukrainians a year ago in a brief statement, as Russian troops poured into the neighboring country, hoping to bring it to heel in three days’ time. . .

“…we are strong. We are ready for anything. We will defeat everyone. This is how it began on February 24, 2022. The longest day of our lives. The most difficult day in our recent history. We woke up early and haven’t slept since.” (Read more from “Zelensky’s Message on Ukraine War Anniversary: ‘We Will Defeat Everyone’” HERE)

Woke Insanity: UK Fire Chief Bans Use of ‘Fireman’ and ‘Firemen’ as ‘Sexist’

/0 Comments/in , /by

A UK fire chief has been accused of “wokeism gone mad” after banning the terms “fireman” and “firemen” — calling them “sexist, exclusionary” and a “micro-aggression that is damaging to our culture.”

Dave Russel, the chief fire officer for Greater Manchester, said in an email obtained by the Bolton News that the terms used in “everyday vocabulary” will “not be tolerated.”

“We employ firefighters, not ‘firemen,’ and haven’t for decades, so why use the term?” he wrote, with the Telegraph saying it applied to the singular term, too.

“Its connotation is sexist, exclusionary, and represents a form of micro-aggression that is damaging to our culture.

“This needs to stop and the term permanently erased from our vocabulary.” (Read more from “Woke Insanity: UK Fire Chief Bans Use of ‘Fireman’ and ‘Firemen’ as ‘Sexist’” HERE)

UK Defence Secretary Warns ‘War Is Coming’ to Britain, Demands More Military Spending

/0 Comments/in , /by

UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace has warned that “war is coming” to Britain, as he redoubled his demands that the government commit to more military spending.

Speaking ahead of the one-year anniversary of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces, Mr Wallace said the world is “definitely more dangerous, more unstable and more insecure” and therefore Rishi Sunak’s government must commit to increasing the defence budget of the nation.

In an interview with the Sun newspaper, Wallace warned: “Conflict is coming by the end of this decade… whether it is a cold war or hot, war is coming.”

“We just have to recognise that in order to deter you just have to be ready, you have to be equipped and you have to stand with your friends and your allies,” he said, adding that therefore “we need a greater proportion of the public spend on defence.”

Warning that the conflict in Ukraine could last for another year, Wallace continued: “We are not in for a period, we are in it until you defeat Russia and Ukrainians can go home. Britain’s message to Russia is we are not giving up and we are not going away.” (Read more from “UK Defence Secretary Warns ‘War Is Coming’ to Britain, Demands More Military Spending” HERE)

Biden Makes a Big Move on Taiwan

/0 Comments/in , /by

As President Joe Biden works to confront multiple threats to freedom around the world after botching the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and failing to dissuade Putin from invading Ukraine, he’s sending more American service members to Taiwan in the face of escalating aggression from Beijing.

According to a dispatch on the development from The Wall Street Journal, the Biden administration is “markedly increasing the number of troops deployed to Taiwan, more than quadrupling the current number to bolster a training program for the island’s military amid a rising threat from China.”

Via WSJ:

The U.S. plans to deploy between 100 and 200 troops to the island in the coming months, up from roughly 30 there a year ago, according to U.S. officials. The larger force will expand a training program the Pentagon has taken pains not to publicize as the U.S. works to provide Taipei with the capabilities it needs to defend itself without provoking Beijing.

The number of American troops, which has included special-operations forces and U.S. Marines, has fluctuated by a handful during the past few years, according to Defense Department data. The planned increase would be the largest deployment of forces in decades by the U.S. on Taiwan, as the two draw closer to counter China’s growing military power.

/4 Comments/in , , /by

Japanese officials sealed off a beach on Tuesday morning to investigate a large, mysterious metal sphere of unknown origin.

The “suspicious” ball was reported by a local resident in Hamamatsu, a southern coastal city about 155 miles from Tokyo, who called police just before 9 a.m. saying “a large round object was washed up on the beach,” Asahi News reported.

The woman said her husband first noticed the object while taking a walk on the weekend.


According to police, the object is a sphere with a diameter of around 4 feet, and is believed to be made of iron as it has a coating of rust. (Read more from “Officials Investigate Mysterious Sphere Washed Up on Beach” HERE)

WWIII Watch: Putin Suspends Nuke Treaty (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Russian leader Vladimir Putin announced in a nearly two-hour speech on Tuesday the unilateral suspension of the longstanding New START agreement that limits American and Russian nuclear development, describing Western support for Ukraine amid an ongoing Russian invasion as an existential threat to Russia.

Putin also took the time to reiterate his claim that the administration of current Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was “neo-Nazi” in its ideology and to denounce “perversion” and “spiritual catastrophe” in the West, spending particular time condemning the Anglican Church for allegedly considering “the idea of a gender-neutral God.” . . .

Putin used his speech to announce an end to the New START agreement, a treaty passed under Obama.

“I am forced to announce today that Russia is suspending its participation in the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty,” he declared, accusing the United States and the greater West of attempting to eliminate the existence of Russia as a whole. . .

“The Western elite does not conceal their goal, which is to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia. It means to finish us forever and grow a local conflict into global opposition,” Putin warned. “This is exactly how we understand it all and we will react accordingly, because in this case we are talking about the existence of our country.” (Read more from “WWIII Watch: Putin Suspends Nuke Treaty (VIDEO)” HERE)

Visions of ‘Justice’: Ukraine Wants Tanks in Moscow, Estonia Talks ‘Nuremberg Trials’ for Russian Leaders

/0 Comments/in , /by

Thoughts are turning to the end of the Ukraine war in some European capitals and how “justice” is to be meted out to Russian leaders, with suggestions from top political figures in recent days ranging from war crimes trials to Ukrainian tanks parked in Moscow’s Red Square.

Military ambitions for how to end Russia’s invasion of Ukraine took a considerable leap forward this week with comments attributed to Ukraine’s National Security and Defence Council Secretary Oleksiy Danilov who spoke of “justice” in the form of troops marching on Moscow.

The remarkable comments from Danilov were reported in the British high-circulation tabloid The Sun, which claimed an interview with the Ukranian politician and relayed him as saying: “Our tanks will be on Red Square and that will be justice. . .

Whether Danilov was articulating actual Ukrainian policy to push the front line 300 miles back to Moscow, or if he was speaking metaphorically, or exaggerating for effect is not made clear in the Sun report. Breitbart News has approached the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs for clarification.

Should Kyiv envision a march on the river Moskva or not, a NATO member state prime minister has certainly called for post-war repercussions for Russia’s present leaders this week. Speaking at the Munich Security Conference Estonia’s Kaja Kallas said Moscow must be held to account and discussed changes for the Russian people, which could imply a Western occupation of Russia, or at the very least the end of the Russian state as we now know it.

Belarusian Foreign Minister Died by Suicide after Meeting Putin Officials: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

The foreign minister of Belarus died by suicide just days after returning from a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s officials in Armenia, according to a new report.

Long-serving Foreign Minister Vladimir Makei, 64, was reported to have suffered a heart attack when he died suddenly on Nov. 26.

But according to reporting by the independent Belarusian media outlet Nasha Niva, citing four unrelated sources, the liberal-leaning Makei took his own life four days after attending the summit in Armenia.

“Makei’s friends say he was painfully upset by the collapse of the course he was leading,” reported Nasha Niva, adding that those close to him did not believe he was murdered.

Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko aimed to replace Makei, who had served as his top diplomat since 2012, according to the news outlet, although it was unclear whether this was at Moscow’s behest.

China’s Xi Jinping Is Preparing to Visit Putin in Moscow: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

Chinese President Xi Jinping is preparing to visit Russian president Vladimir Putin in Moscow in the coming months, sources told The Wall Street Journal (WSJ).

Xi is seeking to push for multilateral peace talks to end the war in Ukraine and stress the importance of not using nuclear weapons during a summit with Putin, WSJ reported Tuesday. Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials have given indications recently that Beijing would like to play a bigger role in the peacemaking process as Russia moves further into China’s sphere of influence.

The timing of Xi’s visit is not yet finalized but could be in April or early May, according to WSJ. People familiar with the matter said the CCP’s top diplomat, Wang Yi, is set to discuss the potential visit when he himself visits Moscow on Tuesday, WSJ reported. Wang said during the Munich Security Conference that China will unveil a position paper on the Russian invasion of Ukraine in late February.
