Does the CIA Announce Buy/Sell Intelligence for Elites?
The CIA comprises geniuses and is powered by unimaginable technologies and dime-novel secret agents. How can we tell?

The US-Philippine alliance: growing US military presence and its impact on regional security
For the fourth month now, US Typhon medium-range missile systems have been deployed in the Philippines under the pretext of joint exercises. This projection of US military power in Southeast Asia is unprecedented and is no less intense than during the Cold War.

A Russia-US Military Spending - Necessity Versus Waste
As Reuters tells it, Russian President Vladimir Putin is draining the state’s coffers to pay volunteers to aid the special military campaign in Ukraine. The Western media claims praying signup bonuses will “create imbalances in the overheated economy.” Meanwhile, in the U.S., recruiters are recommending reinstituting press gangs just to fill quotas for the world’s biggest military. A short comparison here should be a wake-up call for people living in NATO countries.

Besides Celebrating NATO’s 75th Anniversary, much more is going on behind the scenes, and the true agenda is NOT for public consumption. Already telltale signs are coming out in bits and pieces, as what is likely to be what is actually transpiring, and it is not good.

The Trump Factor and NATO’s Expansion into Asia
European leaders dead worried about the return of Donald Trump to the White House later this year and the possibility of him moving the US away from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to accomplish his “Make American Great Again” goals, the former is taking steps to expand NATO to Asia to keep it relevant. Donald Trump has vowed more than once to counter China. He has also expressed optimism to use diplomacy to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Combined with his disdain for NATO, the resolution of the Russia-Ukraine conflict could erode NATO’s credibility and legitimacy.
A Chronicle of Inter-Korean Tensions in the Spring of 2024. Part Three: New Breakthroughs by the DPRK
The first thing to note is the launch on April 2, when they tested the hypersonic glider again (the previous launch of such a missile was Jan. 14) by firing a long-range heavy solid-propellant missile with a hypersonic warhead on a shortened trajectory. Hypersonic missiles fly at speeds of at least Mach 5 – five times the speed of sound – and are designed to be maneuverable on unpredictable flight paths and fly at low altitudes. At Mach 5 and above, such a missile can cover the 195-kilometer distance between Pyongyang and Seoul…

Turkey-Somalia military co-operation agreement: a historic breakthrough or a gradual continuation of rapprochement?
In recent months, the Horn of Africa has become one of the world’s most active sources of political news.

In particular, we are talking about the agreement signed between Turkey and the Federal Government of Somalia on 22 February 2024. Formally, the Turkish side undertook only to provide…
Fatal Flaws Undermine America’s Defense Industrial Base
The first-ever US Department of Defense National Defense Industrial Strategy (NDIS) confirms what many analysts have concluded in regard to the unsustainable nature of Washington’s global-spanning foreign policy objectives and its defense industrial base’s (DIB) inability to achieve them. The report lays out a multitude of problems plaguing the US DIB including a lack of surge capacity, inadequate workforce, offshore downstream suppliers, as well as insufficient “demand signals” to motivate private industry partners to produce what’s needed…
The U.S. strengthens AUKUS
Washington continues to methodically build up the military capabilities of its most promising Asian “small geometry” alliance, AUKUS, which includes its most trusted allies, the UK and Australia, in an attempt to maintain military dominance over the PRC. On 1 December, the Defense Ministers of the three countries met at the headquarters of the Defense Innovation unit in California, where they were given a visual showcase of the U.S. progress in developing promising weapons. The choice of location and the stunning showcase were intended to provide an additional…
