#northkorea could soon really turn into quite a #nuclear #threat https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/i.. Them firing #missiles over #japan is quite #unacceptable .
#china 's #ccp have got #upset about the #eu pointing them out as a #security #threat https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/b.. *Bare in mind* - #china and #russia just performed #joint #operations by #circling #japan with their #navy #military .
40k #nato #soldiers are currently sitting in #poland , with more on their way: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/n.. I highly #suspect we will see 100k before the end of the month - queue #threats from the #kremlin ... This is clearly an #escalation and #threat from the #west about their #willingness to #provide #direct #support in #ukraine .
The #us #economy must be *really* bad if the #russian #threat is at its highest level since the #coldwar - and the #us is still cutting #soldiers https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/army-p.. Not a great look and this brings them to under 1 #million #soldiers , only half of which are #active #duty ...
Apparently the #zerocovid #policy is not going well for anybody, which started with #nz and is now hitting #china 's #ccp https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/chin.. Their public are in such #panic over the #threat of #covid that they are having massive #issues walking back their #policies ... Who would think that #china 's insanely #authoritarian #laws would ever come to bite them? Holding my breath for the #west to #admit it was the wrong #policy ...
In #response to the #threat of #economic #sanctions - namely #removal from #swift , #russia 's #putin in now #threatening #nuclear #weapons https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/r.. This is a *massive* #escalation and one I think we should take *very* seriously.
Seems like #ukraine are now taking the #russian #threat much more seriously now: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/u.. This really looks like it is about to kick off.
#aardvark is not so #educated on the current #omicron #covid #variant it seems: https://aardvark.co.nz/daily/2022/0121.s.. There is no #threat from #omicron - the #uk are stepping down #restrictions despite due to #underwhelming #hospitalisation rates... It has clearly become #endemic ! Currently #nz 's #strategy is to keep #omicron out and to keep #delta in, the most #deadly #strain ...
#china 's #ccp has #halted all #foreign #mail due to the #threat of #covid https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/china.. It's not believed at all that #covid can travel of #packaging ... To me it sounds like a clever ploy to #bypass #wto #trade #regulations ...
Interesting #proposition by #putin regarding ensuring #ukraine never becomes a part of #nato to ensure it is never a #threat to #russia https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/p.. I think there is a better #compromise to be had - #ukraine joins #nato and is under their #protection , but remains un- #militarised until Russia makes a move. I don't think NATO has any interest to move against Russia unless they themselves become a threat.
About time that the #cia starts taking the #threat from #china 's #ccp seriously: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/c.. A new #coldwar is imminent. I believe that there is currently no way out of this given the variables we currently have.
How does the #uk #interpret what the #chinese #army #pla have said in any other way, other than a #threat ? https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/b.. This is *exactly* why the #us and #eu need to ramp up #freedomofnavigation #exercises in the area... The #ccp cannot be allowed to #dictate what happens in #disputed #waters !
I'm glad #nasa is taking the #asteroid / #meteor #threat seriously: https://hackaday.com/2021/09/10/nasa-are.. Just like a #global #pandemic - it's not a problem until it suddenly is. The problem is in two parts - first you must #detect it (which is only possible in some directions, sizes and velocities) and then you must do something about it. These are seriously open problems we don't yet have solutions for.
#china 's #ccp are now going to ban #karaoke #songs that are deemed a #nationalsecurity #threat https://www.lotuseaters.com/china-to-ban.. And *this* is exactly why we should fight such blanket 'protections'.
#aardvark is on a roll as of late, this time discussing the possibility of #war https://aardvark.co.nz/daily/2021/0729.s.. I think #russia testing the #airspace of the #uk is nothing to be taken *too* seriously, they have done this for *many* years now, almost like a tradition. #china is most definitely a #threat and are actively #hostile ... #gps and the #internet is 100% going to be the first #infrastructure taken out if a war breaks out. We should most definitely #decentralize !
