“Beloved children, approach MY KINGDOM promptly. Live doing good,
being creatures of love on earth, LOVING ME and loving your neighbor.
Charity in MY CHILDREN is fundamental.”
“Bringing hope to their brothers and sisters is necessary for MY
CHILDREN who trust in THIS FATHER who loves them. Convert as soon
as possible.”
“The wolves in sheep's clothing have gone out in search of diabolical
sects and are dispersing in order to persecute MY FAITHFUL. Humanity
finds itself in great spiritual desolation.”
By continuing to ignore MY CALLS, you have sunk into terrible
immorality which keeps evil moving among the human race. Man has
become arrogant, thinking that he no longer NEEDS ME. And this is the
ruin of those who welcome the devil.
MY CHILDREN, the death of a world leader will cause great commotion
which will immediately lead to revenge. Then two other leaders will die
and humanity will experience the pain of revenge causing an
earthquake and a severe tsunami with waves higher than buildings.
This will be man-made. It will not be a product of nature.
Children, THE UNITED STATES WILL BECOME INVOLVED IN FOREIGN
WARS. ITS ENEMIES WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ITS WEAK DEFENSES
AND WILL MAKE INCURSIONS WITHIN THIS TERRITORY IN ORDER TO
ATTACK IT BY SURPRISE.
PRAY, MY CHILDREN, pray so that your prayers might be commensurate
with events. Pray with your heart. PRAY MY CHILDREN. Pray for France
which will suffer from the unexpected impact of serious disturbances
that will make Paris burn.

PRAY MY CHILDREN. Pray. BE AWARE OF THE MOMENT OF ANGUISH
THAT HUMANITY IS EXPERIENCING WITH THE INCREASE OF WARS IN
COUNTRIES THAT ARE AGGRAVATING THE GLOBAL SITUATION.
5 | P a g e

MY CHILDREN, grow in faith so that you would be strengthened and
thus be able to move forward into new life where you will neither feel
resentment nor revenge, hatred or pride, and where good will have
overcome evil.
Poverty and war are becoming widespread. And you will see many of
your brothers and sisters leaving for South America. For this, South
America must be purified.
AS A FATHER, I CALL YOU to advance on the path of conversion and to
maintain a strong and firm faith. YOU ARE MY CHILDREN, AND I ASK
YOU TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS.
You must pray in order to have the assistance of THE HOLY SPIRIT. KEEP
(7) YOUR LAMP FILLED WITH THE BEST OIL. Be cautious and firm. Do not
utter words lightly. I WANT YOU TO LIVE IN MY WILL, RESPECTING
WHAT IS MINE, AND YOUR NEIGHBOR IS MY CHILD.
Moderate your character in order to win a great part of the battle.
Anger leads you nowhere except to loneliness. Keep in mind that when
I tell you to flee, you must do so immediately.
Flee deep inside you within where you will WORSHIP ME. Do not fear.
MY GAZE is turned towards you to protect you. I LOVE YOU. YOU ARE
THE APPLE OF MY EYE. I LOVE YOU WITH ETERNAL LOVE. YOUR ETERNAL
FATHER.

RUSSIAN AND CHINESE NAVIES CARRY OUT ARTILLERY AND
ANTI-SUBMARINE DRILLS IN SEA OF JAPAN
Published: 03 August ,2025: 12:52 PM GST Reuters

The Russian and Chinese navies are carrying out artillery and antisubmarine
drills in the Sea of Japan as part of scheduled joint exercises,
the Russian Pacific Fleet was quoted as saying on Sunday.
THE DRILLS ARE TAKING PLACE TWO DAYS AFTER US PRESIDENT
DONALD TRUMP SAID HE HAD ORDERED TWO NUCLEAR SUBMARINES
TO BE POSITIONED IN “THE APPROPRIATE REGIONS” IN RESPONSE TO
REMARKS BY FORMER RUSSIAN PRESIDENT DMITRY MEDVEDEV.
However, they were scheduled well before Trump’s action.
INTERFAX NEWS AGENCY QUOTED THE PACIFIC FLEET AS SAYING
RUSSIAN AND CHINESE VESSELS WERE MOVING IN A JOINT
DETACHMENT INCLUDING A LARGE RUSSIAN ANTI-SUBMARINE SHIP
AND TWO CHINESE DESTROYERS.
It said diesel-electric submarines from the two countries were also
involved, as well as a Chinese submarine rescue ship. The maneuvers are
part of exercises titled “MARITIME INTERACTION-2025” which are
scheduled to end on Tuesday.
Interfax said Russian and Chinese sailors would conduct artillery firing,
practice anti-submarine and air defense missions, and improve joint
search and rescue operations at sea.

BEYOND REACH: WHY AMERICA’S ‘GOLDEN DOME’ MAY BE
POWERLESS AGAINST RUSSIA’S DOOMSDAY MISSILE
A nuclear-powered cruise missile with unlimited range could
outmaneuver even the most ambitious US missile defenses
Earlier this year, US President Donald Trump launched the
ambitious “Golden Dome” initiative – a sweeping plan to build a national
missile defense system capable of shielding America from modern
threats: ballistic missiles, hypersonic weapons, and advanced cruise
missiles. Designed as a next-generation shield, the Golden Dome aspires
to close gaps in the nation’s defenses and guarantee security against a
broad range of airborne dangers.
13 | P a g e

But even the most sophisticated defense can face a threat it wasn’t
designed to stop. As Washington doubles down on its plans for a new
shield, Russia is preparing a weapon unlike anything currently in
existence – a nuclear-powered cruise missile with unlimited range. And
it’s a threat the Golden Dome may struggle to counter.
Unexpected question for America’s new shield
Russia is on the verge of deploying an entirely new class of cruise missile
that could fundamentally alter air defense paradigms: nuclear-powered,
unlimited-range cruise missiles. Chief among them is the Burevestnik.
It’s only logical that US missile defense planners are thinking ahead to
such unconventional threats. Open-source intelligence researchers like
MT_Anderson have recently shared satellite imagery revealing suspected
construction of Burevestnik launch facilities near Vologda. If verified, this
would mark the next phase in the deployment of a weapon capable of
shaking the foundations of global strategic stability.
14 | P a g e

15 | P a g e

Russia first revealed the Burevestnik missile during President Vladimir
Putin’s address to the Federal Assembly on March 1, 2018. Dubbed SSC-
X-9 “Skyfall” in the West, the missile has been cloaked in secrecy ever
since. The commonly used designation “9M730 Burevestnik” is actually
a misnomer, as the 9M730 label originally referred to a version of the
Iskander-M missile system – but that’s a minor detail in the larger picture.
Reports suggest that Burevestnik testing has been ongoing for years at
sites like Novaya Zemlya, the Nenoksa naval testing range near
Severodvinsk, and the Kapustin Yar missile complex – the latter featuring
specialized infrastructure operated by Rosatom. As recently as two years
ago, it seemed Russia was still far from completing development. Now,
however, signs point to a major shift: operational launch sites are
reportedly under construction.
How the Burevestnik works
Visually, the Burevestnik resembles a traditional cruise missile, with
folding wings for compact launch storage. It launches from a ground
platform using a solid-fuel booster, then switches to an air-breathing
nuclear-powered jet engine once it reaches cruising speed. In theory, this
engine heats incoming air via a compact nuclear reactor, allowing the
missile to stay airborne for weeks or even months without refueling.

TRUMP ‘PREPARED’ FOR NUCLEAR WAR WITH RUSSIA
The US president says he was forced to deploy two subs in response to
an inappropriate online “threat” by former leader Medvedev
1 Aug, 2025 22:39
US President Donald Trump has said he cannot treat any talk of nuclear
weapons lightly and that the US must always be ”totally prepared” for
any potential confrontation, responding to what he described as an
inappropriate ”threat” issued by former Russian head of state Dmitry
Medvedev.
17 | P a g e

At a White House press conference, Trump explained his order to deploy
two nuclear submarines earlier on Friday. He had vowed to send them to
what he called, ”the appropriate regions” in a post on Truth Social in
reaction to remarks made by Medvedev on social media.
“Well, we had to do that. We just have to be careful. A threat was made,
and we didn’t think it was appropriate,” Trump said. ”So I do that on the
basis of safety for our people. A threat was made by a former president
of Russia, and we’re going to protect our people.”
Earlier in the week, Medvedev had reacted to Trump’s dismissal of New
Delhi’s commitment to relying on Russian energy. “About India’s and
Russia’s ‘dead economies’ and ‘entering very dangerous territory’ – well,
let him remember his favorite movies about ‘the walking dead,’ as well
as how dangerous the fabled ‘Dead Hand’ can be,” Medvedev wrote.
The dispute escalated after Trump referred to Medvedev as
a ”failed” leader and warned him to ”watch his words.” Medvedev, who
currently serves as deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council,
responded with a scathing message warning against provoking Moscow
too far, referencing the legendary ‘Perimetr’ automatic nuclear
18 | P a g e

retaliation system, which dates back to the Soviet era and is presumed to
still exist in Russia.
Though Russia has never officially confirmed the existence of the system,
it is widely believed by Western analysts to serve as a last-resort
deterrent in the event of a decapitating strike on the Russian leadership.
Trump condemned the former Russian leader’s rhetoric as ”foolish and
inflammatory,” warning that ”words are very important, and can often
lead to unintended consequences.”
The White House and the Pentagon have not provided any further
comments, and Trump’s claim about the submarine redeployment
remains impossible to verify, since the exact locations and patrol areas of
US nuclear submarines are among the military’s most closely guarded
secrets.

TRUMP DEPLOYS NUCLEAR SUBS IN RESPONSE
TO MEDVEDEV TWEET
The American president has condemned what he called “foolish and
inflammatory statements” by the former Russian leader
21 | P a g e
1 Aug, 2025 17:17
US President Donald Trump said on Friday that he has ordered two
nuclear submarines to move close to Russia, citing social media
comments by former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.
Trump announced the decision on his Truth Social platform, condemning
Medvedev’s “highly provocative” statements and claiming that “words
are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences.”

“I have ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the
appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory
statements are more than just that,” the US president wrote.
Trump has lately been locked in a bitter war of words on social media
with Medvedev, who currently serves as deputy chairman of the Russian
Security Council. While the US president did not elaborate, his
announcement of a military response apparently relates to a post made
by the Russian politician on Thursday.
Medvedev was responding to a post by Trump on Truth Social hours
earlier, in which the American president branded him a “failed” former
leader and warned him to “watch his words.” The former Russian head
of state mocked the “nervous” reaction displayed by Trump, suggesting
it only proved that “Russia is doing everything right and will continue to
proceed along its own path.”
“And about India’s and Russia’s ‘dead economies’ and ‘entering very
dangerous territory’ – well, let him remember his favorite movies about
‘the walking dead,’ as well as how dangerous the fabled ‘Dead Hand’ can
be,” Medvedev wrote.
The latter remark referred to the legendary ‘Perimetr’ system, dating
back to the Soviet era and presumed to still exist in Russia. The
autonomous system is believed to be an apocalyptic dead man’s switch,
capable of firing the surviving nuclear arsenal at once in a scenario where
the country was hit by a devastating first strike that eliminates its
leadership and breaks the chain of command responsible for ordering
retaliation.

XI JINPING SIGNALING CHINA IS PREPARING
FOR MAJOR ATTACK
Massive ramping up of food production a critical step
34 | P a g e
August 2, 2025
A Chinese state-owned ship-building company has converted a bulk
carrier into a floating farm that will produce 2,800 tons of fish a year.
The 225-meter-long Zhe Dai Yu Yang 60001 is part of a "marine bread
basket" project that "aims to boost the nation's food security by
repurposing old vessels for use in aquaculture." Chinese Communist
Party General Secretary Xi Jinping is mobilizing state entities, including,
in this case, China State Shipbuilding Corp., in his all-of-society effort to
achieve food security.
Why should anyone outside China care about Xi's obsessive drive?
Because this effort is another signal that he is preparing to attack.
Building mobile fish farms is not Xi's only initiative. His regime, beginning
about two years ago, began a nationwide program to cut down forests to
increase farmland acreage. The plan was a reversal of previous policies
that, at great effort and expense, had turned farmland into forests.
Moreover, other land is being repurposed. The Rural Comprehensive
Administrative Law Enforcement Brigade, nicknamed the nongguan or
"rural managers," has been uprooting cash crops — tobacco, pepper and
ginger plants — as well as cutting down bamboo groves and ripping up
vineyards. In Chengdu, the government converted a portion of its belt of
parks, created between 2003 and 2017 at a cost of more than $4 billion,
into farms. Lawns of a residential complex in that metropolis are now

growing wheat and corn. In other locations, officials have been using
chainsaws to cut down fruit trees, filling in fish ponds, and confiscating
poultry.
Xi has been urging the Chinese to leave cities and return to farming, and,
in a replay of the Cultural Revolution, he is sending college graduates to
work the soil.
Xi is emulating Mao Zedong, who infamously demanded that China's
peasants "grow grain everywhere." Moreover, the government is serious
about storing its crops. In March, the central government increased its
agriculture stockpiling budget to $18.1 billion for grains and edible oils, a
6.1% increase over last year.
There is one more element to Xi's food plan: Attack American agriculture.
In June, three Chinese nationals were charged with attempting to
smuggle biological agents into the United States.
One of them, Yunqing Jian was arrested for trying to bring in Fusarium
graminearum, a "potential agroterrorism weapon" that causes "head
blight." This fungal disease hits wheat, barley, maize and rice, and "is
responsible for billions of dollars in economic losses worldwide each
year." In humans and livestock, head blight causes vomiting, liver damage
and reproductive defects. The actions of these Chinese researchers,
according to U.S. Attorney Jerome Gorgon, Jr., represented "the gravest
national security concerns."
"Fusarium graminearum is a common pathogen affecting crops in China,
and numerous Chinese research institutes, including the Institute of Rice
Biology at Zhejiang University, have been actively studying it," Sean Lin,
a former lab director of the viral disease branch of the Walter Reed Army
Institute of Research, told me. "The FBI confiscated samples labeled
35 | P a g e

'ARP9,' an actin-related gene known to influence chromatin remodeling
and gene transcription. This suggests the samples were genetically
modified strains of Fusarium graminearum."
"This raises a critical biosafety question," Lin noted. "Were these
modified strains designed to enhance infectivity or pesticide resistance?"
The answer is almost certainly "yes." Zunyong Liu, one of the three
charged last month, was affiliated with Zhejiang University, where he
conducted research on the same fungus. That institution, Lin says, has a
well-documented collaboration with the People's Liberation Army. As he
points out, "China's military-civil fusion strategy makes it reasonable to
speculate about military interest in these genetically modified
pathogens, which are potentially related to biological warfare or
agroterrorism."
That these Chinese researchers would risk their careers by smuggling a
known pathogen is a factor suggesting malign intent, especially given
their relations with the Communist Party — Jian is a member — and their
probable connections with military research in China.
The Chinese attempts this year to smuggle pathogens may be only the
latest incidents in a Chinese campaign to bring down American
agriculture. China's regime, it appears, has been trying to plant invasive
species in America since at least 2020. That year, Americans in all 50
states received seeds, unsolicited, from China. Early this year, Temu, the
online Chinese retailer, was caught sending seeds to the U.S., unsolicited.
In one case, a Chinese party sent, unsolicited, both seeds and an
unidentified liquid.
What's the context for all these developments?
36 | P a g e

"The increased measures to safeguard food security underscore Beijing's
efforts to prepare for a long trade war with the U.S. and increasingly
complex geopolitical challenges," writes Reuters, paraphrasing
Genevieve Donnellon-May of Oxford Global Security.
That is a relatively benign explanation for something ominous. Xi Jinping
cannot stop talking about fighting, and has been readying both the
military and civilian society for conflict. Xi, in short, appears to be
stockpiling grain in preparation for war.
To wage that war, Xi knows he must be able to feed 1.4 billion people,
perhaps while his country is under embargo. China's food security law,
which went into effect in 2024, aims for "absolute self-sufficiency."
China, which scores high in country rankings of self-sufficiency, is, in
reality, not food secure. It is, after all, the world's largest food importer.
Last year, it imported 157 million metric tons of grains and soybeans. The
country buys about 80% of its soybean requirements from outside its
borders.
Despite Xi's efforts, his country will remain dependent on others for
foodstuffs. "What lands are suitable to grow foods are producing far too
little of it, and much of the food is produced from a polluted soil and
water base," Gregory Copley, the president of the International Strategic
Studies Association, told me in 2021.
"The essential strategic basic characteristic of every enduring great
power is its ability to feed itself, to be a net exporter of food," said Copley,
also the editor-in-chief of Defense & Foreign Affairs Strategic Policy. "It is
difficult to see how China can remediate its soils and its food production
— or deliver enough potable water — to meet demands any time in the
coming decade, even with a declining population."
37 | P a g e

Xi knows China cannot become self-sufficient, so he is, from all
indications, making sure America is not either.

America and The Coming Collapse of China, a Gatestone Institute
distinguished senior fellow, and a member of its Advisory Board.

IN THE SHADOW OF CHINA, TAIWAN IS BUILDING A DRONE
ARMY TO STOP AN INVASION
Taipei sees homegrown drones as key to its defence, but analysts say
its plans do not go far enough.
A SeaShark 800 sea drone, developed by Thunder Tiger, takes part in a
test ride in the sea off Wushi, Taiwan, on June 6, 2025
Taipei, Taiwan – On a bright morning last month, three sea drones
skimmed across Su’ao Bay, off of Taiwan’s rugged northeast coast.
The tiny “stealth” Carbon Voyager 1, fast-moving Black Tide I, and
explosives-carrying Sea Shark 800 were the highlight of an expo for
companies vying to help Taiwan build up a maritime drone force.
39 | P a g e

Taipei believes drones could be pivotal in repelling China in the event its
forces attempt to invade the self-ruled island, which Beijing has
threatened to annex by force if necessary.
Su’ao is just 60km (37 miles) from Fulong, one of the so-called “red
beaches” identified by defence experts as potential landing sites for the
People’s Liberation Army (PLA) due to their unique topography.
Whereas Russia sent tanks across land borders to launch its war on
Ukraine in 2022, a Chinese invasion of Taiwan would involve Beijing
sending vessels across the 180-km- (112-mile-wide) Taiwan Strait.
A SeaShark 800 sea drone, developed by Thunder Tiger, is seen at a sea
drone expo in Yilan, Taiwan, on June 17, 2025
40 | P a g e

While the Taiwan Strait’s choppy waters and Taiwan’s mountainous
geography and shallow beaches pose formidable challenges to an
amphibious invasion, technological advances and a decades-long
modernisation campaign by the PLA have steadily chipped away at the
island’s natural defences.
Faced with a drastically larger and more powerful opponent, Taiwan’s
defence strategy has steadily shifted towards honing the ability to wage
asymmetric warfare so that an invasion is too costly for Beijing to
consider.
Drones, from sea craft to single-use suicide weapons and high-altitude
intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) vehicles, are a key
element of Taipei’s so-called “porcupine strategy”.
“It doesn’t mean that we need to build one drone for their one drone,”
Chen Kuan-ting, a lawmaker from the ruling Democratic Progressive Party
who sits on the legislature’s foreign affairs and defence committee, told
Al Jazeera.
Instead, Chen said, Taiwan can maintain its edge through “disruptive
innovations”.
“We have to encourage startups to find something cheaper and
something that would fit the terrain of Taiwan. This is our advantage,” he
said.
Taiwan is no stranger to high-tech manufacturing.
The East Asian democracy is the world’s top chipmaker, thanks to Taiwan
Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), which produces about
90 percent of the most advanced semiconductors, but it also excels at
41 | P a g e

making everything from wind turbines to screws and fasteners for the
aerospace industry.
In 2022, Taiwan’s government launched the “Drone National Team”
initiative in a bid to develop a homegrown drone industry capable of
repelling a Chinese invasion and keeping up production under wartime
conditions.
While Taiwan’s defence sector has been developing drones since the
1990s, Taiwanese manufacturers have long struggled to compete with
the low prices offered by Chinese manufacturers, particularly Shenzhenbased
DJI, which holds a more than 70 percent share of the global
market.
The war in Ukraine, which has seen Kyiv make extensive use of drone
warfare to hold its own against Moscow, has only reinforced the belief in
Taipei that unmanned vehicles could be decisive in fending off its much
bigger military foe.
42 | P a g e

43 | P a g e

Under Taipei’s drone strategy, the Ministry of National Defence and stateowned
National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology, which
organised June’s drone expo, are tasked with partnering with contractors
to produce military-grade drones.
Under a parallel initiative, the Ministry of Economic Affairs is coordinating
a program to help the private sector build and sell “dual-use” drones,
which serve commercial as well as military purposes, for both the local
and overseas markets.
Taiwanese President William Lai Ching-te has expressed his wish for
Taiwan to become an “Asian hub” for drone technology and
manufacturing.
For Taiwan, the bid to become a drone powerhouse is a race against time.
United States Admiral Philip Davidson, commander of US Indo-Pacific
Command, has estimated that the PLA will be capable of invading Taiwan
by 2027.
Despite the pressing need for a formidable drone force, Taiwan’s progress
at building up its domestic industry has been uneven at best, experts say,
with the problems beginning with overly modest targets that do not
match the scale of the threat.
Taiwan has set a target for local industry to produce 15,000 dual-use
drones a month by 2028, while the Defence Ministry has ordered 700
military-grade unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and 3,422 dual-use
drones from local manufacturers, according to figures from the
government-backed Research Institute for Democracy, Society, and
Emerging Technology (DSET).
44 | P a g e

Taiwan also ordered approximately 1,000 UAVs from the US in 2024 and
set a new target in May to procure another 47,000 drones over the next
four years.
The newer procurement figures have yet to be accounted for in the
national budget, which means they are subject to possible change.
45 | P a g e

Despite the expanded targets, the figures – particularly of military-grade
UAVs – are small by the standards of modern warfare, according to
defence experts.
During the opening volleys of a conflict with China, Taipei and Beijing
would be expected to “churn through thousands of UAVs on a daily, if not
hourly, basis”, according to an April report by the US Naval Institute.
The report estimated that Taiwan’s recent purchase of 291 Altius-600M
UAVs, 685 Switchblade loitering munitions, and 4 MQ-9B drones – part
of a $21bn backlog in military orders with the US government – would
sustain just four to five volleys against the PLA.
Speaking at a DSET summit on supply chain resilience in Taipei last
month, Peter Mattis, president of the US-based Jamestown Foundation,
said Taiwan needed to think on a much bigger scale to meet its training
and stockpile needs.
“Maybe it’s appropriate to be thinking about hundreds [of drones] while
you’re trying to test things out, but we need to be burning through those,
running them through their paces, so that we know when we do scale …
we’re actually getting something that can stand the test,” Mattis said.
Yurii Poita, head of the Asia Pacific section at the Kyiv-based Center for
Army, Conversion and Disarmament Studies, noted that Ukraine plans to
manufacture 200,000 a month in 2025, which is about “the same number
as Taiwan wants to [produce] over one year”.
Ukrainian brigades burn through 50 to 100 first-person view drones (FPV)
– which give the pilot a real-time view of the battlefield – each day, Poita
told Al Jazeera.
46 | P a g e

47 | P a g e

Taiwan needs to be prepared to pivot and adapt as it builds its arsenal,
including by paying attention to developments in Russia and Ukraine, said
Misha Lu, a drone expert at the Taiwanese startup Tron Future.
“In Ukraine and Russia, drones have already evolved beyond the mere
purpose of reconnaissance and strikes,” Lu told Al Jazeera.
“In Taiwan’s case, military drone applications have not been so diverse
yet.
“Simply put, the Taiwanese military needs to speed up the process of
figuring out the role of anti-drone tech in its defence planning and
training,” Lu said.
wide variety of drone types and its limited resources.
While a lot of attention has been paid to stopping PLA from landing on
Taiwan, there has not been enough discussion of what would happen
next, said Lorenz Meier, the founder and CEO of the drone software
company Auterion, who argues that Taipei’s drone strategy should take
advantage of Taiwan’s unique geography.
Taiwan is split down its length by the Central Mountain Range, with most
of its towns and cities – many of which largely consist of low-rise concrete
buildings designed to withstand earthquakes – located on the west coast.
About 60 percent of the island is covered in dense evergreen subtropical
forest.
“I’m in full favour of pushing USV right now; it also sends a message to
China. This is important,” Meier told Al Jazeera on the sidelines of the
Su’ao Bay drone expo, where Auterion signed a partnership with the
NCSIST.
48 | P a g e

“But at the same time, there needs to be, eventually, conversation
around the defence strategy, and the fact that we’re not talking about a
realistic urban combat scenario shows that there is work to be done.
“I’ve never seen the government talk extensively about using the hills,”
Meier added.
“If you retreat a force into the jungle, and if you launch drones out of the
hills, that is going to be hell to sit at the beach.”
Alexander Huang, the chairman of Taiwan’s Council on Strategic and
Wargaming Studies and a member of the opposition Kuomintang, said
Taipei’s strategy has focused on building an arsenal to the detriment of
considering how to deploy it in a conflict.
“A smart way is for Taiwan to go is to review the specifics of the Taiwan
contingency and Taiwan theatre and figure out the operational tempo of
the People’s Liberation Army and come up with a kind of drone
development strategy with Taiwanese characteristics, rather than just
copying the Ukraine model or following the advice of the Pentagon,”
Huang told Al Jazeera.
Taiwan’s Defence Ministry did not reply to Al Jazeera’s requests for
comment.
Some of Taipei’s shortsightedness comes from a lack of recent combat
experience, according to Jason Wang, the COO of ingeniSPACE, a
geospatial intelligence company with offices in Taiwan.
“Taiwan can produce any hardware that you could possibly imagine and
do it cheaply. Modern warfare is not about the hardware. It’s about
putting the brains in the drones to give the warfighter options on the
battlefield,” Wang told Al Jazeera.
49 | P a g e

“Understanding the role that different drones play on the battlefield, the
logistics necessary to get them there, and the speed of violence
necessary to stop your adversary is what Taiwanese manufacturers have
a hard time mastering,” Wang added.
“For Taiwan, mastery of the battlefield is a function of political will, not
capability.”
Taiwan has for decades dealt with Chinese aggression in the form of
“grey-zone” tactics – low-grade activity occupying the space between
peace and conflict – but has not fought a military battle with Beijing since
the 1958 Taiwan Strait crisis.
Taipei and Beijing have been at odds since the 1940s, when the Republic
of China (ROC) government lost the Chinese Civil War to communist
forces.
In 1949, ROC leader Chiang Kai-shek retreated to Taiwan, an erstwhile
Japanese colony, pledging to one day return to the mainland.
After losing dozens of allies during the Cold War, including the US in 1979,
Taiwan is today recognised by just 11 countries and the Holy See.
Its diplomatic isolation means it cannot officially engage with
neighbouring militaries or UN peacekeeping missions.
Joint military exercises with the US, Taiwan’s main security guarantor,
have been held on an unofficial basis without any announcement, to
avoid angering China.
For the same reason, while the US has pledged to provide Taiwan with
the means to defend itself, successive governments in Washington have
stopped short of saying whether it would directly intervene in a conflict.

Taiwan’s military, a symbol of state repression during four decades of
martial law that lasted until 1987, has undergone significant investment
and modernisation in recent years.
After Taiwan transitioned to democracy in the early 1990s, the military
underwent a period of neglect until the election of President Tsai Ingwen
of the Democratic Progress Party in 2016, according to Michael
Hunzeker, an associate professor at George Mason University’s Schar
School of Policy and Government.
The DPP saw the military largely as a “tool of authoritarian oppression”,
Hunzeker told Al Jazeera, while the opposition KMT did not want to build
up military power because it was seeking rapprochement with Beijing.
Under Tsai and her successor, Lai, Taiwan began to dramatically scale up
military spending.
In 2025, Taiwan’s cabinet allocated defence spending equal to 2.45
percent of gross domestic product (GDP) – up from spending equivalent
to 1.82 percent of GDP in 2016 – a budget that was later scaled down by
the opposition-controlled legislature.
Lai has said he ultimately wants to raise spending this year to 3 percent
of GDP, though his plans face opposition from the KMT.
51 | P a g e

52 | P a g e

Nonetheless, China’s military, the world’s largest in terms of personnel,
still dwarves Taiwan’s forces.
China’s military ranked 3rd in the 2025 Global Firepower Index, which
measures the defence capabilities of global militaries, far ahead of
Taiwan’s military at 22nd.
Since 2022, the PLA has conducted regular large-scale military exercises
in the Taiwan Strait, including drills with drones.
China does not have an embassy in Taipei, but its embassies in
Washington, DC and Tokyo did not respond to requests for comment.
Taiwanese drone makers say that access to real-world and timely
battlefield intelligence will be essential to designing the best drones for
Taiwan and potential clients overseas.
“Our weak points are that we need to adapt to the conditions on the
battlefield that change daily. We need to know the conditions to adapt
software,” Gene Su, general manager of Taiwanese toymaker-turneddrone
manufacturer Thunder Tiger, told Al Jazeera.
“We need to work with people in the US, and the front line in Europe to
make sure we understand their needs, and then they adapt the
software.”
Taiwanese manufacturers are also aware of the challenge they face from
their commercial competitors.
China is skilled at both making drones and conducting “electronic
warfare” capable of jamming enemy drones and misleading anti-drone
systems, said Sunny Cheung, a Washington-based DSET fellow and
analyst at the Jamestown Foundation.
53 | P a g e

“All [drone makers] share the same concerns that the Chinese anti-drone
and electronic warfare capability are very good, so they are not sure in a
real-time combat scenario whether Taiwanese drones can infiltrate …
and conduct military operations,” Cheung told Al Jazeera, outlining the
results of an informal survey of CEOs at Taiwan’s largest commercial and
military manufacturers.
54 | P a g e

Taipei has been moving to address some of these potential
vulnerabilities.
Taiwanese Minister of National Defence Wellington Koo – the first civilian
to hold the role in a decade – recently announced that the military would
commission its first-ever army drone unit, while UAVs and USVs would
also be added to the navy.
Observers such as the DSET say establishing a UAV/USV task force this
year to “facilitate a more coordinated approach” to procurement,
subsidies, budgeting, and research and development is another step in
the right direction, but other logistical and economic challenges remain.
Much of Taiwan’s drone strategy depends on its companies finding
overseas partners to help drive demand for drones and build up the
supply chain.
The Ministry of Economic Affairs recently launched an initiative to
connect Taiwanese companies with customers in Japan, Germany,
Poland, the Czech Republic and elsewhere who are looking to cut China
out of their supply chains.
For now, export figures remain low, although the industry is gaining
momentum.
From exporting just 290 drones in 2023, Taiwan exported 3,473 drones
in 2024 and 3,426 drones in the first quarter of 2025 alone.
The program’s Achilles heel, according to experts, may lie in supply chain
bottlenecks and the financial risks facing would-be drone makers.
Some would-be drone makers fear a similar fate as US company Skydio,
which was sanctioned by China in 2024 for selling drones to Taiwan,
55 | P a g e

according to Hong-Lun Tiunn, a DSET non-resident fellow and co-author
of the June report.
Tiunn and his DSET colleague Fang said the government needs to offer
more financial incentives to manufacturers to offset their concerns.
“As a private company, their first priority is to make a profit,” Fang told
AL Jazeera. “Are they going to be punished by the Chinese government
and lose all their clients?”
Chia-yu Chang, business development manager at Taiwanese drone
designer Avilon Group, voiced similar concerns.
“It’s not just supporting drone companies; they need to support the
entire ecosystem in order to have a Taiwanese drone brand. But I think
there are still a lot of stages that need to come right,” Chang told Al
Jazeera.
Chang said private companies are also struggling to completely remove
China from their supply chains.
“Most of the commercial companies, most of the industry, cares only
about data or security issues, but for the military, they would want to
have the entire drone have zero Chinese parts,” she said.
“Honestly, nobody can do that.”
56 | P a g e

A Black Tide unmanned surface vehicle, developed by Lungteh
Shipbuilding company, is seen at a sea drone expo in Yilan, Taiwan, on
June 17, 2025
Taiwan relies on China for many of the raw materials and the parts
needed to produce UAV batteries.
The island is similarly dependent on imports to meet its demand for GPS
modules, flight control and positioning software, sensors, cameras, and
secure communication chips, according to the DSET report.
Some technology, such as thermal imaging, is also subject to US export
controls despite Taipei’s close ties to Washington.
57 | P a g e

Often, these imports are more expensive than Chinese-made parts, even
if they are from friendly countries, according to the DSET, with a single
component like an SDR video transmission chip costing as much as 10
times the price offered by DJI.
In response to questions about its supply chain, the NCSIST said Taiwan
is working towards self-sufficiency.
“For military-grade UAVs, key components like high-power engines,
precision navigation systems, and advanced sensors still depend on
foreign markets due to Taiwan’s relatively late start in defence industry
development,” the NCSIST told Al Jazeera.
“However, NCSIST is addressing this by developing critical indigenous
technologies (eg, flight control computers, EO equipment, radar),
gradually reducing reliance on foreign suppliers,” it said.
Meanwhile, as the clock ticks down to 2027, observers say Taiwan needs
to move fast.
“This is our war. This is not somebody else’s war,” the KMT’s Huang said,
adding that there is a “question mark” over whether Taiwan can
implement an effective drone strategy.
“This is not just [a case of] putting money on the table and saying we are
fine,” he said.

ISRAEL AND IRAN PREPARE FOR A NEW
ROUND OF FIGHTING
Iran is still capable of launching a rapid barrage of hundreds of ballistic
missiles at Israel, as it did in April 2024 but such a move would be
extremely risky for Iran, as Israel would respond with overwhelming force
on Iranian territory.
60 | P a g e
An IAF F-15D Eagle takes off.
The ceasefire between Israel and Iran, declared at the end of June, has
not eased tensions between the two nations. On the contrary, military
preparations continue beneath the surface, and the entire region sits
atop a powder keg that could explode at any moment.
In both Jerusalem and Tehran, officials speak of a “new phase” in the
confrontation – one of fragile mutual deterrence, with its timeline
influenced by regional and international developments.

While Israel strengthens its defense systems and accelerates production
of its Arrow missiles, Iran is rebuilding its forces. It makes it clear that it
will not abandon its nuclear program – even at the cost of another
military clash.
Senior Israeli defense officials report that Iran is in advanced talks to
procure air defense systems and fighter jets from China in preparation for
the next round of fighting with Israel.
They add that Iran is planning a preemptive surprise strike on Israel as
retaliation for the Israeli surprise attack carried out on June 13.
IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir stated on July 20 that the latest
confrontation with Iran was merely one phase in a prolonged campaign.
According to him, “We are now entering a new chapter based on the
achievements of the operation – we disrupted Iran’s nuclear and missile
programs – and we must remain vigilant.”
Defense Minister Israel Katz echoed Zamir’s remarks, warning on July 22
that there is a high likelihood of renewed fighting.
During a strategic assessment with senior IDF officials, a decision was
made to formulate a strategic plan to prevent Iran from restarting its
nuclear program.
As part of this, Israel will accelerate production of Arrow missiles and
increase the readiness of its air defense systems, including Iron Dome
and David’s Sling.
Tehran, too, is sending clear signals. Iranian President Masoud
Pezeshkian declared that “Iran will not retreat from its nuclear program”
and that “any Israeli attack will be met with painful retaliation targeting
central Israel.”
61 | P a g e

In an interview with Al-Jazeera on July 22, Pezeshkian added that Tehran
does not seek war but will not hesitate to defend itself.
He reiterated that Iran’s nuclear program is solely for civilian purposes
and complies with international law.
Simultaneously, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi told Fox News on
July 22 that Iran would not abandon uranium enrichment, despite the
damage caused to its nuclear infrastructure by U.S. strikes in June.
U.S. President Donald Trump, who spearheaded the mediation efforts for
the ceasefire, warned on July 22 that if Iran resumes its nuclear activities,
the United States will not hesitate to strike Iranian nuclear facilities once
again.
His warning came just hours after Arakchi’s statement, reinforcing the
U.S. stance that any renewal of Iran’s nuclear program is a red line.
The latest round of conflict between Israel and Iran lasted only 12 days –
from June 13 to June 24 – but involved unusually extensive military
operations.
Israel struck nuclear sites in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, targeted
ballistic missile production facilities, and assassinated senior IRGC
officials and nuclear scientists.
Iran retaliated with ballistic missiles and drone attacks targeting sensitive
Israeli sites, including power stations, military bases, and intelligence
facilities.
Although the United States brokered the ceasefire, it was not
accompanied by any formal political agreement or oversight mechanism,
making it a temporary pause rather than a long-term resolution.
62 | P a g e

Israeli political leaders believe the confrontation with Iran is a prolonged
conflict currently in a transitional stage.
Iran, having suffered significant losses and humiliation, is nursing its
wounds and seeking revenge.
According to them, Iran’s primary objective now is to strike back at Israel
at a time of its choosing, likely through a surprise attack.
Senior Israeli defense officials view the current ceasefire as a temporary
constraint forced on both sides.
They stress that Israel is determined to prevent Iran from acquiring
nuclear weapons and will continue its policy of targeted assassinations,
strikes on strategic sites, and diplomatic pressure.
During the current ceasefire, a series of mysterious explosions and fires
occurred at infrastructure and buildings across Iran.
On July 23, senior Iranian officials told The New York Times that they
believe Israel was behind these incidents.
As of now, the ceasefire remains fragile. There is no political or diplomatic
framework to ensure its stability.
There are no official channels, no oversight mechanism, and no mutual
trust. Each side is preparing for the next round, and a single misstep –
such as the assassination of a senior figure or a cyberattack – could
reignite the flames of war.
According to Israeli intelligence, the Mossad’s covert activity in Iran
continues, and Israel is preparing to thwart any potential Iranian attack.
Defense Establishment Assessment
63 | P a g e

One current assessment within Israel’s defense establishment is that in
any future scenario, Iran will prefer to attack Israel through its regional
proxies – namely, the Houthis in Yemen, Hizbullah in Lebanon, and Shiite
militias in Iraq.
Direct Iranian action will likely occur only if the regime feels its survival is
at risk.
Israeli intelligence officials believe Iran is still in the process of rebuilding
its military capabilities following the recent conflict and is not eager to
engage in a full-scale war with Israel.
According to their assessment, Iran would launch a surprise strike on
Israel only if it sees a window of opportunity – when Israel is
diplomatically isolated, heavily engaged in other arenas, and when its
deterrence has significantly eroded.
Iran’s current threats may be primarily aimed at deterring Israel and
boosting domestic morale.
Still, Iran is undoubtedly capable of launching a rapid barrage of
hundreds of ballistic missiles at sensitive sites in Israel, as it did in April
2024.
A potential Iranian surprise attack on Israel might occur under the
following conditions:
A freeze or weakness in U.S. foreign policy (e.g., during an American
election season).
Signs of deep internal division within Israel (political or security crisis).
Iranian confidence in its ability to achieve a decisive military victory and
restore deterrence.
64 | P a g e

Such a move would be perilous for Iran, as Israel would respond with
overwhelming force on Iranian territory.
An Israeli counterattack would likely result in Iran’s international
isolation. Nonetheless, Iran may gamble on such an attack to restore its
damaged national pride and strengthen its deterrence capabilities.

GOG, MAGOG, ATTEMPTED INVASION OF ISRAEL

The war of Gog and Magog is a prophetic event described in the Bible,
primarily in the Book of Ezekiel and the Book of Revelation. It involves a
conflict against Israel in the "latter days," characterized by a massive
invasion led by a figure named Gog from the land of Magog.

IRAN DOUBLES DOWN ON REFUSAL TO END NUCLEAR
PROGRAM, READY FOR WAR WITH ISRAEL
Pezeshkian says Trump's assertions on destruction of nuclear program
are an 'illusion'
Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian on Wednesday doubled down on
Tehran’s refusal to abandon its nuclear program and said Iran is "fully
prepared" for a renewed fight with Israel.
The Iranian president’s comments came just two days after Tehran’s
foreign minister confirmed to Fox News that Iran will not give up its
enrichment program, but continues to claim Tehran is not interested in
developing a nuclear weapon.
71 | P a g e

"[US President Donald] Trump says that Iran should not have a nuclear
weapon and we accept this because we reject nuclear weapons and this
is our political, religious, humanitarian and strategic
position," Pezeshkian said in an interview with Al Jazeera.
President Masoud Pezeshkian says Iran remains "prepared" for renewed
conflict with Israel.
"We believe in diplomacy, so any future negotiations must be according
to a win-win logic, and we will not accept threats and dictates," he
added.
72 | P a g e

Pezeshkian also said Trump’s repeated claims that the U.S. "obliterated"
Iran’s nuclear program is "just an illusion."
"Our nuclear capabilities are in the minds of our scientists and not in the
facilities," he said.
The U.S. strikes – which came just days after Israel targeted top military
figures and nuclear scientists – are believed to have set back Iran’s
nuclear program by up to two years.
But security experts have told Fox News Digital that Iran continues to
possess significant military strike capabilities, and questions remain over
whether Iran was able to successfully move any enriched uranium off site
prior to Washington’s strikes.
Pezeshkian acknowledged the blow that Israel levied against its top
officials, but said it "completely failed" to "eliminate" the hierarchy of
Iran's nuclear program.
He further warned that Iran is ready to take on Jerusalem should
another conflict break out.
"We are fully prepared for any new Israeli military move, and our armed
forces are ready to strike deep inside Israel again," Pezeshkian said.
Iran and Israel are still operating under a ceasefire brokered by the U.S.
and Qatar following last month’s 12-Day War, but the Iranian president
said he is not confident this truce will hold.
"We are not very optimistic about it," Pezeshkian said.
"That is why we have prepared ourselves for any possible scenario and
any potential response. Israel has harmed us, and we have also harmed
73 | P a g e

it," he added. "It has dealt us powerful blows, and we have struck it hard
in its depths, but it is concealing its losses."
Delegations from France, Germany and the U.K. (E3) are set to travel to
Tehran on Friday to discuss nuclear negotiations.
The E3 visit will come just three days after officials from Russia and China,
who are also signatories of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action
(JCPAO), visited on Tuesday to discuss negotiations and how Iran can
avoid sanctions, though details of the talks remain unknown.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi stands with Russian Deputy Foreign
Minister Sergey Ryabkov and Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem
Gharibabadi, before a meeting on March 14, 2025, in Beijing.
74 | P a g e

Iran began initiating international talks after the E3 last week threatened
to employ snapback sanctions – which would see the entire 15-member
U.N. Security Council enforce strict economic ramifications – should Iran
not enter into a nuclear agreement by the end of August.
The timeframe is consistent with the time needed for the JCPOA
signatories to recall snapback sanctions prior to the Oct. 18 expiration
date when the economic tool can no longer be employed en masse per
the 2015 terms of the agreement.

GOG AND ALLIES ATTACK ISRAEL
38 Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2 “SON OF MAN, SET
YOUR FACE AGAINST GOG, OF THE LAND OF MAGOG, THE PRINCE OF
ROSH, MESHECH, AND TUBAL, AND PROPHESY AGAINST HIM, 3 AND
SAY, ‘THUS SAYS THE LORD GOD: “BEHOLD, I AM AGAINST YOU, O GOG,
THE PRINCE OF ROSH, MESHECH, AND TUBAL. 4 I will turn you around,
put hooks into your jaws, and lead you out, with all your army, horses,
and horsemen, all splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers
and shields, all of them handling swords. 5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya
are with them, all of them with shield and helmet; 6 Gomer and all its
troops; the house of Togarmah from the far north and all its troops—
many people are with you.

7 “Prepare yourself and be ready, you and all your companies that are
gathered about you; and be a guard for them. 8 After many days you
will be visited. In the latter years you will come into the land of those
brought back from the sword and gathered from many people on the
mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate; they were brought
out of the nations, and now all of them dwell safely. 9 You will ascend,
coming like a storm, covering the land like a cloud, you and all your
troops and many peoples with you.”
10 ‘Thus says the Lord God: “On that day it shall come to
pass that thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will make an evil
plan: 11 You will say, ‘I will go up against a land of unwalled villages; I
will go to a peaceful people, who dwell safely, all of them dwelling
without walls, and having neither bars nor gates’— 12 to take plunder
and to take booty, to stretch out your hand against the waste
places that are again inhabited, and against a people gathered from
the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, who dwell in the
midst of the land. 13 Sheba, Dedan, the merchants of Tarshish, and
all their young lions will say to you, ‘Have you come to take plunder?
Have you gathered your army to take booty, to carry away silver and
gold, to take away livestock and goods, to take great plunder?’
14 “Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog, ‘Thus says the
Lord God: “On that day when My people Israel dwell safely, will you not
know it? 15 Then you will come from your place out of the far north,
you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great
company and a mighty army. 16 You will come up against My people
Israel like a cloud, to cover the land. It will be in the latter days that I
will bring you against My land, so that the nations may know Me, when
I am hallowed in you, O Gog, before their eyes.” 17 Thus says the
84 | P a g e

Lord God: “Are you he of whom I have spoken in former days by My
servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied for years in those days
that I would bring you against them?
JUDGMENT ON GOG
18 “And it will come to pass at the same time, when Gog comes against
the land of Israel,” says the Lord God, “that My fury will show in My
face. 19 For in My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath I have
spoken: ‘Surely in that day there shall be a great earthquake in the land
of Israel, 20 so that the fish of the sea, the birds of the heavens, the
beasts of the field, all creeping things that creep on the earth, and all
men who are on the face of the earth shall shake at My presence. The
mountains shall be thrown down, the steep places shall fall, and every
wall shall fall to the ground.’ 21 I will call for a sword against Gog
throughout all My mountains,” says the Lord God. “Every man’s sword
will be against his brother. 22 And I will bring him to judgment
with pestilence and bloodshed; I will rain down on him, on his troops,
and on the many peoples who are with him, flooding rain, great
hailstones, fire, and brimstone. 23 Thus I will magnify Myself
and sanctify Myself, and I will be known in the eyes of many nations.
Then they shall know that I am the Lord.” ’
GOG’S ARMIES DESTROYED
39 “And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, ‘Thus says the
Lord God: “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh,
Meshech, and Tubal; 2 and I will turn you around and lead you
on, bringing you up from the far north, and bring you against the
mountains of Israel. 3 Then I will knock the bow out of your left hand,
85 | P a g e

and cause the arrows to fall out of your right hand. 4 You shall fall upon
the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops and the peoples
who are with you; I will give you to birds of prey of every sort and to the
beasts of the field to be devoured. 5 You shall fall on the open field; for
I have spoken,” says the Lord God. 6 “And I will send fire on Magog and
on those who live in security in the coastlands. Then they shall know
that I am the Lord. 7 So I will make My holy name known in the midst
of My people Israel, and I will not let them profane My holy name
anymore. Then the nations shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One
in Israel. 8 Surely it is coming, and it shall be done,” says the Lord God.
“This is the day of which I have spoken.
9 “Then those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out and set on fire
and burn the weapons, both the shields and bucklers, the bows and
arrows, the javelins and spears; and they will make fires with them for
seven years. 10 They will not take wood from the field nor cut
down any from the forests, because they will make fires with the
weapons; and they will plunder those who plundered them, and pillage
those who pillaged them,” says the Lord God.
THE BURIAL OF GOG’S ARMIES
11 “It will come to pass in that day that I will give Gog a burial place
there in Israel, the valley of those who pass by east of the sea; and it
will obstruct travelers, because there they will bury Gog and all his
multitude. Therefore,they will call it the Valley of Hamon Gog. 12 For
seven months the house of Israel will be burying them, in order to
cleanse the land. 13 Indeed all the people of the land will be burying,
and they will gain renown for it on the day that I am glorified,” says the
Lord God. 14 “They will set apart men regularly employed, with the
86 | P a g e

help of a search party, to pass through the land and bury those bodies
remaining on the ground, in order to cleanse it. At the end of seven
months they will make a search. 15 The search party will pass through
the land; and when anyone sees a man’s bone, he shall set up a marker
by it, till the buriers have buried it in the Valley of Hamon
Gog. 16 The name of the city will also be Hamonah. Thus, they
shall cleanse the land.” ’
A Triumphant Festival
17 “And as for you, son of man, thus says the Lord God, ‘Speak to every
sort of bird and to every beast of the field:
“Assemble yourselves and come;
Gather together from all sides to My sacrificial meal
Which I am sacrificing for you,
A great sacrificial meal on the mountains of Israel,
That you may eat flesh and drink blood.
18 You shall eat the flesh of the mighty,
Drink the blood of the princes of the earth,
Of rams and lambs,
Of goats and bulls,
All of them fatlings of Bashan.
19 You shall eat fat till you are full,
And drink blood till you are drunk,
At My sacrificial meal
Which I am sacrificing for you.
20 You shall be filled at My table
With horses and riders,
87 | P a g e

With mighty men
And with all the men of war,” says the Lord God.
ISRAEL RESTORED TO THE LAND
21 “I will set My glory among the nations; all the nations shall see My
judgment which I have executed, and My hand which I have laid on
them. 22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God
from that day forward. 23 The Gentiles shall know that the house of
Israel went into captivity for their iniquity; because they were unfaithful
to Me, therefore I hid My face from them. I gave them into the hand of
their enemies, and they all fell by the sword. 24 According to their
uncleanness and according to their transgressions I have dealt with
them, and hidden My face from them.” ’
25 “Therefore, thus says the Lord God: ‘Now I will bring back the
captives of Jacob, and have mercy on the whole house of Israel; and I
will be jealous for My holy name— 26 after they have borne their
shame, and all their unfaithfulness in which they were unfaithful to Me,
when they dwelt safely in their own land and no one
made them afraid.
27 When I have brought them back from the peoples and gathered
them out of their enemies’ lands, and I am hallowed in them in the sight
of many nations, 28 then they shall know that I am the Lord their God,
who sent them into captivity among the nations, but also brought them
back to their land, and left none of them captive any longer. 29 And I
will not hide My face from them anymore; for I shall have poured out
My Spirit on the house of Israel,’ says the Lord God.”

In 2025, armed conflicts and civil strife continue to be a major challenge
in Africa, with various regions experiencing escalating violence and
instability. Key areas of concern include the DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF
CONGO, SUDAN, SOUTH SUDAN, AND THE SAHEL REGION
Key Conflicts and Developments in 2025:
https://youtu.be/L-AwhPNv3R8
https://youtu.be/KtN22JtOaEs
https://youtu.be/rvYRifKrS24
Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC): The M23 rebel group, supported by
Rwanda, launched an offensive in the eastern DRC, capturing Goma, the
provincial capital of North Kivu, in January. The conflict has led to
widespread displacement and humanitarian concerns.
Sudan: The Sudanese army has been engaged in intense fighting with the
paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), with the army retaking key areas
of Khartoum. The conflict has resulted in a humanitarian crisis, with
millions displaced and facing food shortages.
South Sudan: Tensions remain high, with reports of unrest and violence
following the arrest of Riek Machar and ongoing clashes related to
civilian targeting.
Sahel: Insurgent groups like JNIM continue to exert pressure on urban
centers in Burkina Faso and Mali, leading to increased fatalities and
displacement.
92 | P a g e

Other Areas: Conflicts and violence have also been reported in Central
African Republic, Nigeria, Somalia, and other parts of the continent, with
various armed groups and extremist organizations involved.
Contributing Factors:
WEAK GOVERNANCE:
Poor governance, corruption, and lack of accountability contribute to
instability and conflict.
RESOURCE COMPETITION:
Competition for resources, such as land and minerals, often fuels
conflict.
ETHNIC AND RELIGIOUS TENSIONS:
These tensions are often exploited and exacerbated by political actors,
leading to violence.
EXTERNAL INTERFERENCE:
External actors can play a destabilizing role by supporting various armed
groups or interfering in internal affairs.
CLIMATE CHANGE:
Climate change impacts, such as droughts and floods, can exacerbate
existing tensions and lead to resource scarcity, contributing to conflict.
Consequences:
Humanitarian Crises: Conflicts in Africa lead to widespread displacement,

North Korea possesses a variety of ballistic missiles, including shortrange,
medium-range, and intercontinental ballistic missiles
(ICBMs). Some of their missiles are based on older Soviet designs, while
others are indigenously developed, including solid-propellant ICBMs like
the Hwasong-18. NORTH KOREA HAS ALSO BEEN DEVELOPING
HYPERSONIC GLIDE VEHICLES, WHICH ARE MORE DIFFICULT TO
INTERCEPT.
96 | P a g e

Short-Range Ballistic Missiles (SRBMs):
Hwasong-5/Scud-B: Developed with Soviet assistance, range of 300 km.
Hwasong-6/Scud-C: Developed with Soviet assistance, range of 500 km.
Hwasong-9/Scud-D/Scud-ER: Indigenously developed, range between
800-1000 km.
KN-23/Hwasong-11A: A solid-propellant missile with a flattened
trajectory, making it harder to intercept, according to Wikipedia.
KN-24/Hwasong-11B: Similar to KN-23, with a flattened trajectory.
Medium-Range Ballistic Missiles (MRBMs):
Hwasong-12: A solid-propellant MRBM with a range capable of reaching
Guam.
Hypersonic Missiles: North Korea has been developing hypersonic
missiles, which can travel at high speeds and maneuver in flight, making
them harder to intercept.
Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs):
Hwasong-14/KN-20: First successful ICBM test in 2017.
Hwasong-15/KN-22: Theoretically capable of reaching all of the United
States mainland, according to Wikipedia.
Hwasong-17: A larger ICBM displayed in 2020 and first tested in 2022.
Hwasong-18: A solid-propellant ICBM.
Delivery Systems and Development:

North Korea has been shifting from liquid-propellant to solid-propellant
missiles and developing cruise missiles.
They have also been developing mobile launchers for their missiles,
making them more difficult to detect and target.
North Korea has been accused of supplying Russia with ballistic missiles
for use in the war against Ukraine.

NORTH KOREA BREAKS SILENCE ON TRUMP'S RETURN,
SENDS MESSAGE FROM 'ROCKET MAN'
North Korea says ties with President Donald Trump aren’t hostile but
warns any push to revive denuclearization talks would be futile and
possibly insulting

Kim Jong-Un’s powerful sister opened up about relations with the second
Trump administration, warning the U.S. not to try to restart talks
centered on getting North Korea to give up its nuclear program.
Kim Yo Jong, in remarks blasted out by state media, said relations
between President Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un are "not bad" but
added Pyongyang would view any attempt to pressure North Korea to
denuclearize as "nothing but a mockery."
She said that North Korea’s nuclear arsenal has sharply increased since
Trump and Kim last spoke, and the pair would not meet for a summit
again if denuclearization was on the table.
The North Korean dictator’s sister did not rule out bilateral talks entirely
— as she did with South Korea in a separate statement.
"If the U.S. fails to accept the changed reality and persists in the failed
past, the DPRK- U.S. meeting will remain as a ‘hope’ of the U.S. side," Kim
Yo Jong said, referring to the nation by its official name, the Democratic
People’s Republic of Korea.
She said it would be "advisable to seek another way of contact."
Trump held three unprecedented summits with the North Korean
leader he dubbed "Little Rocket Man" during his first term: in Singapore
in 2018, Hanoi in 2019 and the Korean Demilitarized Zone in 2019,
becoming the first president to step foot on North Korean territory.
None of the meetings resulted in any breakthroughs: North Korea kept
its nukes, and the U.S. left sanctions that have isolated it from
international markets in place.

Kim Yo Jong is a top official on the Central Committee of the North’s ruling
Workers’ Party and handles relations with the U.S. and South Korea.
Kim Yo Jong’s comments came after an article posted by Yonhap news
agency cited an unnamed White House official as saying Trump "remains
open to engaging with Leader Kim to achieve a fully denuclearized North
Korea."
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said last month Trump
would like to see "progress" this term on the summits he held during the
first term.
In a statement commemorating the 72nd anniversary of the end of the
Korean War on Monday, Trump said, "I was proud to become the first
sitting President to cross this Demilitarized Zone into North Korea."
North Korea’s nuclear arsenal has sharply increased since President
Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un last spoke, and the
pair would not meet for a summit again if denuclearization was on the
table.

He underscored the U.S. alliance with South Korea.
"Although the evils of communism still persist in Asia, American and
South Korean forces remain united in an ironclad alliance to this day."

Second Seal: Conflict on Earth
When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living
creature saying, “Come and see.” Another horse, fiery red,
went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take
peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another;
and there was given to him a great sword.
