Satellite imagery from Nov shows a buildup of Chinese H-6 bombers at Golmud Airport on Tibetan plateau.
DoD has taken note of the H-6 for its long-range precision strike capability. Deployments have been seen as a signal to India not to escalate on disputed border.

The outfit for the 100-year speech was not randomly selected. (Even if it looks a bit too new.)

“NZ has an asymmetric hedging strategy, aligning with U.S on aspects of security cooperation, while messaging its ‘independent’ foreign policy. It signals to Beijing how tight the alignment is, yet allowing room to continue to trade with China. It’s an optimal strategy.”

Indian disinformation accounts are exploiting Pakistan's current political crisis and falsely claiming that the country is now experiencing urban warfare and other serious instability. Dangerous and disturbing; several of these accounts are verified, with large followings. Ugh.
Anyone interested in US foreign policy under Trump, from the level of analysis perspective, must give it a read. A great value addition. #BookLaunch #USFP @ReubenSteff @DrJoeBurton
