Here's a good intro/update on the war in Myanmar/Burma.
Lots of stuff going on in the Indo-Pacific region but not seeing much coverage in mainstream news.

This is a major problem with political correctness. If you want to boost birth rates suddenly you’re seen as dehumanizing women.
Which has been the big lie all along. Women aren't happy without a family yet they were told they could only be happy being single. It hasn't worked and now developed countries are desperate to figure out how they can reverse course on this without angering the very institutions that worked tirelessly to implement this social change.
US Army will deploy the new "Typhon" MRC (Mid-Range Capability) missile system - basically a containerised naval VLS launcher, mounted on a semi-trailer - in the Philippines for military exercises.
Currently this system allows the Army to launch Tomahawk cruise missiles and SM-6 interceptors from a mobile, land based platform, but in the future it could be used to launch hypersonic missiles (if we ever finish them).

The article titled "1 vs. 29: South China Sea Electronic War Ends with US GPS Loss and Retreat" details an intense electronic warfare incident between China and the United States in the South China Sea on June 30, 2024.
I quote from article {the official Weibo account of China’s Southern Theater Command—“Thick smoke deep in the blue sea, good night”—sparked a massive online reaction, leaving netizens speculating about the secrets behind it.}
The key points are as follows:
- Initial Incident: The conflict began with a minor confrontation between the Philippines and China at Ren’ai Reef. The US, supporting the Philippines, organized a joint military exercise involving Canada and Japan in the South China Sea as a smokescreen and misdirection, actual intent was to deploy anti-submarine devices to monitor Chinese submarines.
- Chinese Response: China detected the US's high-tech monitoring equipment (sonar buoy) being dropped by a P-8A anti-submarine patrol aircraft and launched a recovery operation. This led to a standoff between Chinese and US fleets, with the US deploying electronic warfare aircraft to interfere with Chinese operations.
- Electronic Warfare: Both sides engaged in electronic warfare, with the US using Growler and RC-135 aircraft and China deploying Y-9 electronic warfare aircraft and the 815A electronic reconnaissance ship. The battle resulted in severe electronic interference, particularly affecting the northern Philippines.- Outcome: The US fleet experienced a total loss of GPS signals and communication capabilities, forcing them to retreat. The electronic warfare caused a 12-hour communication blackout in the northern Philippines, drawing significant global attention.
- Aftermath: The incident highlighted the advanced state of China's electronic warfare capabilities compared to the US, with critiques suggesting that US equipment is a generation behind China's technology.The article underscores the strategic importance of electronic warfare in modern naval conflicts and the shifting balance of power in the South China Sea. It is described as a war without smokes or fires but electronic warfare determines if one navy is able to blind and confuse the other navy so much so that if a hot war erupts one side has a distinct advantage.

1 vs. 29: South China Sea Electronic War Ends with US GPS Loss and Retreat
Over the vast expanse of the South China Sea, a war without gunfire quietly unfolded, its unique impact capturing the world's attention. On June 30th, a brief yet meaningful tweet from the official Weibo account of China’s Southern Theater Command—“Thick smoke deep in the blue sea, good...

From Brian Berletic re:Thailand
Thailand Court Rules to Disband US-backed Opposition Party "Move Forward"
The party's defacto leader, billionaire Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit had traveled to the US in 2018 to meet with the US State Department, USAID & National Endowment for Democracy (NED) subsidiary Freedom House, FARA documents revealed;
Upon returning to Thailand he pushed to cancel the Thai-Chinese high-speed railway, sought closer ties instead with the US, Europe and Japan, and co-led violent protests with NED funded organizations to try to seize power after losing the 2019 elections;
This latest ban will see core leaders removed from politics for 10 years, while remaining party members will simply create yet another US-backed party;
The ban has promoted US government complaints, and likely will prompt further US-sponsored instability
The US seeks to remove Thailand's military and monarchy from power and replace it with an obedient Westernized client regime eager to cut ties with China and use Thailand as a battering ram against China;
The US is similarly destabilizing the rest of Southeast Asia as part of its strategy of encircling China;

Came across something about Thailand. Ground zero for boomer waifu adventures in Asia. Also as I once said ground zero for the Jew invasion of Asia. The video itself is not interesting. In fact it kind of broke my heart.
You have these white men just going out of the way to praise a foreign group of people, in this case the thais, trying to protect them since they live there. I understand the feeling.
You look at the comments and what do you notice? Literally no Thai commenting. They don’t care folks and honestly don’t have the IQ to care. They’re too busy watching “Black guy in Thailand?!? They love BBC??? So friendly!!!”and saying “welcome, so happy you like it here”. Not a joke, lol. Travel videos are a joke yet all these third worlders just want is a pat on the head.

The ICC has issued an arrest warrant for the Myanmarese junta leader Ming Aung Hlaing, citing crimes against humanity, ethnic cleasing and genocide in the handling of the Rohingya issue.
I'm curious what the real situation is here. My thoughts are that the Rohingya are pretty nasty themselves, and they probably deserve a lot of what's happened to them. I read the replies to both tweets and only saw this viewpoint in one reply. Most of the other replies make it sound like Hlaing really is the villain here.

barely 3 days ago karim khan issued an arrest warrant to netanyahu for what he's been doing to the pallies.
now he just did the same for Myanmar because of the way that it has been fending off the rohinghians. never mind the grievances caused by said group, which caused the unavoidable pushback.
I'm kind of disappointed in him. at first it seemed as if he had seriously set out to face off against our Greatest Ally and make a statement to the world about what sort of leadership that country really had. it turned out that karim khan is just out to stand up for muslims in non-islamic countries, making them even more emboldened and entitled.
next if this schtick gets traction, he may as well go after Xi Jinping because of the way that the Han Chinese have been dealing with their troublesome uyghar minorities.
I'm just curious why the sudden burst of motivation to go out of his way and stick his neck out for a group that has been historically associated with more conflicts, terrorism and warfare than any other.
