Tensions continue to simmer over Chinese island-building in the South China Sea
The Pentagon’s long-standing opposition to Chinese phony island-building, or “land reclamation,” in the South China Sea is based upon the definition of “island” as it is explained in the U.N.
China has for many years now been building new island-like structures, adding airstrips, and placing weapons in and around highly disputed areas of the South China Sea.
As of several years ago, China had already reclaimed over thousands of acres of the area throughout the region, a phony island-building process caught on video by U.S. Navy Poseidon spy planes years ago.

Russia and Iran Sign an Intelligence Pact
Last month, Iran and Russia, a close ally of the Islamic regime, signed a pact that should assist it as it attempts to reform its counterintelligence.
The Islamic Republic of Iran has an extensive and complex intelligence apparatus. Its two most important intelligence institutions are the Ministry of Intelligence (MOI) and the intelligence arm of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). A third key intelligence organization is the IRGC’s Intelligence Protection Organization, which operates independently of the Corps’s intelligence arm and deals in counterintelligence.

Is the Biden administration hatching plans to cut the F-35 fifth generation fighter program?
The chairman of the US Congressional Armed Services Committee, Adam Smith, said: "We must stop throwing money in the trash. Is there a way not to spend so much money on such poor performance? The cost of the F-35 is enormous."
Earlier, the chief of staff of the US Air Force and the former head of the Pentagon spoke in a similar and negative way regarding the project.
