Türkiye nears deal for the 3rd nuclear power plant with China

Turkish Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Alparslan Bayraktar announced negotiations with China for Türkiye’s 3rd nuclear power plant have made significant progress and that the deal could be finalized "in the coming months".

If the deal is finalized, it will be China's largest investment abroad.

Trump says he's pleased by Putin's praise:

I like that he said that. It meant what I'm saying is right.

Russian schools have spent more than $250 million since January on Kalashnikov assault rifles, Makarov pistols, ammunition, body armor and other educational equipment for basic military training classrooms.

This is 8 times more than was spent on computers and other equipment for computer science classrooms.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz assured Ukraine of further support:

Chinese Defense Minister Li Shangfu and eight individuals associated with the Arms Development Administration of the Central Military Commission are under investigation.

They are under investigation for procurement of military equipment.

The probe into Li, who was appointed as defence minister in March, and the eight officials is being carried out by the military’s powerful disciplinary inspection commission.

U.S. Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel on Friday posed the question on X, formerly Twitter, whether Li was under house arrest.

Li was last seen in Beijing on Aug. 29 giving a key-note speech at a security forum with African nations. Earlier that month, he also visited Russia and Belarus.

The probe into the minister started shortly after his return from that trip.

Turkish President Erdogan:

Türkiye proposed holding a quadrilateral meeting at the level of the leaders of Türkiye, the Russian Federation, Azerbaijan and Armenia on Karabakh, but no response has yet been received.

If necessary, we can part ways with the EU. The EU is trying to break away from Türkiye.

The West says 'Sweden, Sweden, Sweden'. We say that we cannot say yes or no unless our parliament decides.

Sweden must do its part first. Promises are not being kept.

Pentagon acquisition chief Bill LaPlante:

The U.S. provided Ukraine with “industrial-sized 3D printers” that Kyiv can use to 3D print spare parts for military equipment.

The printers were the size of a "truck" and were a "game changer" in how quickly the Ukrainians could repair their weapons.

“You can make great things with 3D printing, not just because of the speed. You can actually make parts that you couldn't make under normal conditions.”
