🇨🇳🇹🇼 China is pushing its maritime forces further into the Pacific, encircling Taiwan... Taiwan's Coast Guard says China is increasingly combining coast guard ships, research vessels, and state-backed maritime militia boats in coordinated operations around the island. In August, one suspected Chinese militia vessel came within roughly 2.7 nautical miles of Taiwan's restricted waters off its strategically important east coast, a key route for supplies. Taiwan believes these overlapping civilian, paramilitary and military operations could help China rehearse for a future maritime blockade. The pressure is also extending toward waters involving Japan and the Philippines. Beijing doesn't need to start a war to prepare the terrain for one. Source: Reuters / Writer: Samuel

🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia is DOUBLING the size of its desert missile plant to build heavy solid fuel rockets... Satellite images of the Al Duwadimi complex reportedly show MASSIVE new casting pits shielded by heavy blast walls. This is not confirmed, but experts trace the facility blueprint directly to Chinese DF 15 and DF 21 tech. Solid fuel rockets can be stored pre-loaded and launched in minutes. That gives Riyadh the firepower to strike deep into Iran without risking American built F-15 pilots against heavy air defenses. They aren't acting alone, either. The UAE and Turkey are running the exact same missile expansion playbook. However, the al-Duwadimi expansion may stiffen bipartisan opposition in Congress to a U.S.-Saudi nuclear agreement.

🇺🇸🇨🇳🇯🇵 The U.S. military is banning Chinese-made BYD vehicles from a major air base in Japan... The concern: their CAMERAS and sensors could potentially expose sensitive information. Kadena Air Base in Okinawa will begin turning away BYD vehicles on Monday, including cars belonging to personnel and contractors as well as commercial vehicles and taxis. The reported restriction comes after Washington added BYD to a list of companies it believes are aiding China's military. U.S. military officials and BYD had not confirmed the new restriction when Reuters reported the story. For Washington, the security concern is no longer just Chinese telecom equipment or apps, it's increasingly the connected vehicles driving onto military bases. Source: Reuters / Writer: Samuel

🇮🇱🇵🇸 Netanyahu: "We are prepared for a large-scale operation in the West Bank." Bibi is going to clear out the entire West Bank, just as he did with Gaza, in order to win an election... IT’S DISGUSTING Writer: Samuel t.co/jYIvs9pbHq

🇺🇸 Jon Stewart's producer said she feels "optimistic" about a Democrat victory, <2 weeks until the midterms. But Stewart is clearly far from convinced... "I think the national media is so disconnected from the reality of things... and the polling is always so f***ed." He said he knows "the country is hurting," but talked about ads he saw in Texas about trans surgeries on kids. "What the f**k is happening?!" Writer: Michael t.co/J300OCDdlf

🇺🇸 I dunno, if I’m spending $12 MILLION on a plane… I don’t think I’m buying it on Facebook Marketplace! Of course, it’s staged… but it’s absolutely hilarious! I wouldn't be surprised if I really saw a C-130 for sale on Marketplace. Anything goes these days! 🤣 Writer: Jamie t.co/bNH1SL71Ej

🇫🇷 While France is still cleaning up from the riots, lawyers are demanding comfortable mattresses for the teenage suspects in custody. Yes, YOU READ THAT RIGHT! The Seine-Saint-Denis bar association demanded that detained minors be treated with 'dignity' after lawyers allegedly found teenagers shivering under blankets at the Bobigny courthouse near Paris. Of the 17 detainees, 14 were linked to an alleged aggravated theft at a sports shop in Saint-Denis. Unfortunately, the local prosecutor has already caved, acknowledging that the detention conditions were 'unacceptable.' With 1,500 businesses damaged or looted and the nation's stability at stake, apparently the priority is the looters' quality of sleep... 🤦‍♂️ Source: International Business Times / Writer: Mhedi

🇨🇺 Nearly a THIRD of Cuba's 9.4 million residents are struggling with water shortages at the moment... The country's deteriorating infrastructure has left homes and businesses without reliable running water.

Sad to see Trump's Iran war mistake overshadow so many of his other achievements

🇮🇱🇵🇸 Netanyahu: "As for our heroic settlers: You are an example to the people of Israel. You are an example to the State of Israel." An example?? They destroy homes, seize properties, take people’s harvests, they are aggressive and violent. Yes, it seems they represent the State of Israel very well. Writer: Samuel t.co/meknw0Jooa

🚨🇮🇱🇵🇸 Israeli forces carried out a major DEMOLITION near Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza. Whatever the military objective, scenes of large-scale destruction near medical facilities are deeply disturbing after years of devastating war in Gaza.

🇺🇸 The Atlanta Falcons' graphic designer will probably need to keep off social media for a while... The NFL team released its brand new logo yesterday, and its gone viral for ALL the wrong reasons. Thousands of commenters are posting memes referencing The Third Reich (even calling the team "The Bird Reich"), saying the logo is Naziesque... What do you think? Is the reaction justified?

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Brent crude oil has climbed to $113.66 per barrel, approaching a 5-month high as fears grow over another round of U.S.-Israeli strikes against Iran. Oil briefly reached $114.65 earlier today, with prices now up nearly 87% since the beginning of the year. The latest increase comes as Washington and Israel reportedly prepare for a renewed military offensive against Iran. Possible targets include Iranian nuclear facilities, missile production sites, and energy infrastructure, though no final decision has been confirmed. Meanwhile, renewed attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and threats against Gulf energy facilities are adding pressure to oil markets. With Brent already above $113, another major escalation could send prices sharply higher, with the crisis now already contributing to disorder in Europe and extreme fuel shortages in parts of Asia.

🇬🇧 A box of Pokémon cards sitting in a British man's attic for 15 YEARS just sold for more than $2 MILLION! The owner originally bought some of the sets for just a few hundred dollars. The retired decorator had collected 41 complete Pokémon card sets between 1999-2009, then stored them away after his son lost interest. At auction, the collection fetched £1.56 million ($2.09 million), more than 6x its estimated value. One Legendary Collection set containing a rare Charizard sold for $174,000, while a Skyridge set originally bought for ~$400 fetched around $131,000. Sometimes cleaning out the attic really can make you a millionaire. Source: AA / Writer: Samuel

🚨🇮🇱 The man who helped make Netanyahu Prime Minister of Israel is now openly opposing him... Billionaire and World Jewish Congress President Ron Lauder says Israel "stands to lose badly" if Bibi is reelected this Tuesday. “Your fathers fought for the country, and you’re losing everything because of stupidity.” He says Netanyahu put his own ambitions ahead of Israel's. And he's definitely not alone in that. Thiel breaking with Trump on the Iran war, now Lauder breaking with Netanyahu... There's only so much recklessness these billionaire backers are willing to accept! Writers: Jamie, Michael t.co/PCkVbgaVqI
