šŗšøšØš³š®š· Excerpts from the 2024 US Intelligence Community's US Annual Threat Assessment report:
China has the capability to directly compete with the United States and U.S. allies and to alter the rules-based global order in ways that support Beijingās power and form of governance over that of the United States. Chinaās serious demographic and economic challenges may make it an even more aggressive and unpredictable global actor.
Local and regional powers are also trying to gain and exert influence, often at the cost of neighbors and the world order itself. Iran will remain a regional menace with broader malign influence activities, and North Korea will expand its WMD capabilities while being a disruptive player on the regional and world stages.
President Xi Jinping envisions China as the preeminent power in East Asia and as a leading power on the world stage. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) will attempt to preempt challenges to its reputation and legitimacy, undercutting U.S. influence, driving wedges between Washington and its partners, and fostering global norms that favor its authoritarian system. Most significantly, the Peopleās Republic of China (PRC) will press Taiwan on unification, an effort that will create critical friction points with the United States.
China seeks to become a world S&T superpower and to use this technological superiority for economic, political, and military gain. China remains committed to becoming a world-class space leader and continues to demonstrate its growing
prowess by deploying increasingly capable space systems and working towards ambitious scientific feats.
Iran is not currently undertaking the key nuclear weapons-development activities necessary to produce a testable nuclear device. Since 2020, however, Tehran has stated that it is no longer constrained by any JCPOA limits, and Iran has greatly expanded its nuclear program, reduced IAEA monitoring, and undertaken activities that better position it to produce a nuclear device, if it chooses to do so.
There is a low risk of full-blown war between Armenia and Azerbaijan despite the lack of a bilateral peace treaty. The US Intelligence Community estimates that, if a conflict breaks out, it will be of a short duration and intensity.
The US Intelligence Community notes an increased risk of interethnic conflict in the Western Balkans in Kosovo and Bosnia blaming nationalist leaders using ethnic tensions for political gain which may negatively impact EU-NATO interests in the region.
Foreign states are advancing digital and physical means to repress individual critics and diaspora communities abroad, including in the United States, to limit their influence over domestic publics. States are also growing more sophisticated in digital influence operations that try to affect foreign publicsā views, sway votersā perspectives, shift policies, and create social and political upheaval.

It's easy to mock this guy, laugh at him, say it's always Gingers etc.
However why are we not asking why, as a society, young men are making life choices like this?
Same as anyone who chooses to go against our natural order with how they live.
Something has gone badly wrong.

āThe fetal bovine serum is just disgusting, and itās in almost every viral vaccine. They harvest it by inserting a needle into the beating heart of a baby cow to extract its blood. Where is PETA when you need them? The FDA even admits they use ācow partsā because cows are large and have a lot to use.ā

šš Climate scientistsā controversial claim Gulf Stream could be near collapse ā predicting a new ice age
A key Atlantic current could be pushed to the brink of collapse within decades, supposedly ushering in a new ice age and dramatically raising sea levels, climate scientists have claimed in a controversial new study published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment.
Per the new findings, the at-risk current in question is the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation or AMOC, a āconveyor belt of the oceanā that funnels warm water toward the ocean surface ā from the tropics to the Northern Hemisphere.
This current, which includes the Gulf Stream that runs from the Gulf of Mexico to the US East Coast and across the Atlantic to Europe, helps maintain the mild climate of Europe, the UK, and the US East Coast.
The study stated that the source of this marine temperature regulator, the Greenland Ice sheet, is being thawed amid warming temperatures, causing ...
