by Leo Hohmann, Leo’s Newsletter:

The DeepSeek Moment for Modern Air Combat – Lessons from the Pakistan India Air War

by Hua Bin, The Unz Review:

The world just witnesses a shockingly one-sided air war between Pakistan and India last week. Pakistan air force, equipped with Chinese weapon systems, took down a large number of India air combat assets while suffering zero loss.

The air battle featured Chinese-made J-10C fighters, PL-15 air to air missiles, HQ-9 air defense system, and ZDK-03 AWACS. Reported India losses included 3 French-made Rafale fighters, 1 Russia-made Su-30, 1 MiG-29, and 1 Israel-made Heron UAV.

Cover-ups, lies, smears and fake news from Ursula could be EU’s own suicide pill

by Martin Jay, Strategic Culture:

Things are getting a bit out of hand in Brussels as the elite panic like never before. Now they’re talking about shooting down the Slovakian PM’s own plane. Just can’t make this shit up.

Previous disparaging comments about the past of European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen and her grandparents’ role in the second world war might have seemed truculent by Russian commentators. And yet, as each month passes, we seem to be witnessing VDL’s political identity – and her vision of the role of the EU – more and more in line with Nazi Germany. The total annihilation of the free press in Brussels was not her doing, as she inherited the draconian system when she took office. But her efforts to broaden the silencing of journalists right across Europe is telling as it becomes even more an act of desperation to stamp out any free and feral reporting while her own team are pumping out these entirely fake narratives every day. The Russians are planning on invading Baltic states. Russia is the new threat to a democratic Europe. And the latest blag, EU is a bastion of peace and democracy “which doesn’t invade other countries”.

Net Zero Is Leaving Britain Vulnerable To Months-Long Blackouts

by Sean Adl-Tabatabai, The Peoples Voice:

Britain’s rush to Net Zero has left the country facing the possibility of blackouts lasting months

Official reports warn that Ed Miliband’s net zero push is leaving the country increasingly vulnerable to blackouts similar to the one recently experienced in Spain.

Raising concerns that the switch from dependable gas to intermittent wind and solar power would “reduce network stability” the grid operator also said the cost to taxpayers for funding measures to prevent the system crashing was set to “increase significantly” to £1 billion a year.

Russia is not afraid of Western sanctions – Kremlin

from RT:

Moscow has long adapted to the West’s policies and knows how to minimize the negative effects, spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said

Russia is used to Western pressure and is not concerned about new sanctions, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said.

He was commenting on a new round of sanctions recently imposed by the UK.

We already know what we will do once the sanctions are announced and how we will minimize their effect,” Peskov told journalist Pavel Zarubin on Saturday. Russia has learned effective ways to counteract Western pressure, he said. “Therefore, scaring us with sanctions is pointless.”

Uncle Sam’s Chinese Dilemma: America is in Asia, but not of Asia

from 21st Century Wire:

America decided 143 years ago not to be an Asian nation and its confused presence in the region is coming to a close.

Is Washington deluding itself in thinking it will be able to contain and dominate China and the Pacific region?

It turns out that the US has been working overtime to try and somehow remain on top in Asia since 2010. Remember Obama’s infamous “pivot to Asia”? It was then U.S. Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes who believed the US could undermine China enough to “get America another fifty years as leader.”

MORE – U.S. will lower tariffs on Chinese goods to 30% from 145%, and China will reduce duties on U.S. imports to 10% from 125%.

IS COMMUNIST CHINA STARTING TO UNRAVEL?

by Joseph P. Farrell, Giza Death Star:

If you’ve been watching Communist China lately, you’re watching quite a show, and in case you haven’t been watching, the “show” began with the sudden and strange disappearance of a few top Chinese military officials, whom Mr. Xi himself appointed. Additionally, this occurred as Mr. Xi was on a summit tour to Malaysia, and hence out of the country. This has led to the usual speculations of a “purge” of some sorts is underway, beginning with the Chinese military, long a customary hotbed of corruption and intrigue, dating back to the time when there was no Communist China per se, but only Chiang Kai-Shek’s notoriously corrupt Khmoumintang and its even more notoriously corrupt military. The problem with the purge explanation is the usual one with Communist governments: who is behind it, and why?
