UPDATE – Commentary: Japan's assessment is absolutely on point. China represents the greatest strategic challenge the world has ever seen since Nazi Germany. The CCP has similar world domination ambitions to that of the Nazi party.

Apart from everyday hostility, China has increased its efforts to create a new axis of evil along with Russia and North Korea. China and Russia have been conducting joint exercises in East China Sea near Japan while the North Korean Madman continues with his nuclear program.

The situation demands a strengthened coalition of like-minded countries to deter any attempt by these countries to upend the international system.

The US withdrawal from two bases in Niger leaves a gap over Western Africa in MQ-9 surveillance coverage. A recent article from Le Monde claims that the US is planning to move to the Ivory Coast, filling most of the coverage gaps.

πŸ“ It's quite complicated to observe migrant routes in the Sahel zone, as well drug routes in Norther/Central Africa.
