On November 21st, Russia launched a conventional intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) at Dnipro, along with other missiles, injuring civilians and damaging infrastructure. This unprecedented use of an ICBM in the Ukraine conflict, originating from Astrakhan Oblast, prompted President Zelensky to declare that Putin is utilizing Ukraine as a testing ground for weaponry. The attack followed recent US authorization of Ukrainian strikes within Russia using Western-supplied missiles and Russia’s updated nuclear policy. Zelensky emphasized Russia’s pursuit of additional missiles internationally, highlighting Putin’s desperation to maintain control over Ukraine.

The Chinese government’s hacking efforts are far more pervasive than previously reported, according to various sources. These efforts are not limited to targeting specific individuals or organizations, but are instead a broad-scale operation designed to gather intelligence and influence global events. While the extent of these operations remains largely unknown, the sheer scale of their ambition is alarming.
The Chinese government is deploying sophisticated tactics to infiltrate networks and steal data, often targeting both individuals and organizations at all levels. The tactics they employ range from the classic phishing scams to the more advanced techniques of exploiting vulnerabilities in software and hardware.… Continue reading
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has called on international allies to act, rather than just observe, the presence of North Korean troops in Russia. He emphasised North Korea’s advancements in weapon production and modern warfare, and said that Ukrainian civilians would have to defend themselves against the soldiers. Despite having located where the North Korean soldiers are in Russia, Zelenskiy stated that Ukraine lacks the resources to strike them. He called for global action to avoid a potential expansion of Russia’s war against Ukraine. This call to action came after an interview where Zelenskiy criticised the limited response from his allies to Russia’s North Korean troop deployment.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has warned that about 8,000 North Korean soldiers stationed in Russia are preparing for deployment into combat in Ukraine. Blinken revealed that the US believes a total of 10,000 North Korean troops had been sent to Russia for training before being based in the Kursk region on the border with Ukraine. The upcoming deployment could escalate the Russia-Ukraine war into a multi-region conflict, involving North and South Korea. Blinken’s comments come after North Korea test-fired an intercontinental ballistic missile and hours before Ukraine’s president warned that North Korean troops could join the fight against Ukraine within days. The US, South Korea, and the Pentagon have all warned against the deployment of North Korean troops in the battle.

Zelenskyy’s statement about Ukraine being forced to engage with North Korea is a stark reminder of the precariousness of the global situation we find ourselves in. His call for allies to increase pressure on Russia resonates deeply with me, as it highlights the interconnectedness of conflicts in today’s world. I can’t help but reflect on the broader implications of this situation: if Ukraine is abandoned, the consequences will reverberate far beyond its borders. The potential fallout is disheartening to consider, and it raises urgent questions about our collective responsibility as nations.
The idea that Ukraine might have to confront North Korean forces is alarming but not entirely surprising.… Continue reading
It seems that the topic of NATO’s readiness for a large-scale war with Russia has sparked a wide range of opinions and insights from various individuals. While some argue that NATO is inadequately prepared, others see Russia as equally unprepared for such a conflict. The debate brings to light the complexities of modern warfare and the implications of potential global conflicts.
When considering the military capabilities of both NATO and Russia, it is clear that there are significant disparities in terms of technology, training, and overall preparedness. NATO, with its member countries contributing some of the most effective military forces in history, stands as a formidable force against any potential adversary.… Continue reading
Putin agreeing to sign a strategic partnership agreement with Iran has left many people scratching their heads. The notion of two countries, which have been seen as troublemakers in the eyes of other nations, coming together in a formal alliance is definitely a cause for concern. The relationship between Russia and Iran has been murky at best, with both countries often seen as wielding their power in ways that are not necessarily beneficial for global stability.
The prospect of Russia and Iran joining forces should send alarm bells ringing for many countries around the world. Iran, a known sponsor of terrorism, coupled with Russia’s often controversial actions, raises serious questions about what this strategic partnership agreement could entail.… Continue reading
I can’t fathom the audacity of invading other countries. It’s truly abhorrent, not just in Africa, but on a global scale. The actions of Russian war criminals, politicians, propagandists, and sponsors associated with such acts of aggression are nothing short of despicable. Ukrainian security services have made it clear that they will hunt down those responsible, and I fully support their efforts in doing so.
It’s appalling to see the blatant disregard for human life and sovereignty displayed by those involved in these nefarious activities. The exploitation of African resources, particularly gold, to circumvent sanctions is a clear indication of the lengths some are willing to go to further their own agendas.… Continue reading
Kim Jong-un and his regime have once again made ludicrous accusations, this time denouncing NATO and the US as the “most serious threat” to global peace. It is quite comical, considering that North Korea is known for brutally killing teenagers for watching soap operas. The audacity and sheer hypocrisy of their statement is mind-boggling. It’s like the boy who cries wolf pointing fingers at the sheep.
NATO, on the other hand, has been a beacon of relative world peace since its inception in 1949. The mutual defense pacts among member countries have effectively deterred conventional attacks and kept the peace for decades.… Continue reading
China Is Making and Testing Lethal Attack Drones for Russia, it’s a headline that may not come as a shock to many, especially those who have been paying attention to the global political landscape. But what does this development truly signify? The fact that China, a country with a growing influence on the world stage, is now involved in the creation of these lethal attack drones for Russia, a nation with its own contentious relationships with the West, raises multiple implications and questions.
It’s no secret that China has been steadily building up its military capabilities over the years, and the emergence of lethal attack drones being developed for Russia is just another step in this progression.… Continue reading
