30 years ago today - on 31 August 1994 - the last Russian troops withdrew from Germany. For the reunited Germany and all other countries from which Russian soldiers departed after the Cold War, this was a milestone for European peace and stability. #1994

@PhilGordon46 please make sure that a Harris Administration will clearly define America’s strategic objective for the war in Ukraine is defeat of Russia. Don’t fear it…accelerate it.

It is highly regrettable that EU representatives of diplomatic missions accredited to China were denied access to the courtroom. This denial undermines trust in due process requirements in China. (2/4)

Whatever the local conditions are, the big picture is that China is forcefully excluding Philippines from its own EEZ, shrinking its strategic space and challenging Manila’s sovereignty around features that it occupies.

Chinese vessels blocked and surrounded Philippine coast guard ships from approaching Escoda (Sabina) Shoal for a supply run early today. But PH ships did not reach the shoal and are on its way back to port

🇬🇧 condemns continued dangerous actions by China, in both land and sea, against 🇵🇭 BFAR and Coast Guards, near Scarborough Shoal and Sabina Shoal. These actions increase tensions and endanger lives. We call for respect of international law, including UNCLOS.

Superb story by @wsj_douglasj and @Lingling_Wei of the WSJ. China's pivot to exports (and a growth model based on rising surpluses given China's ongoing reluctance to import) was a conscious policy choice 1/
