The PRC's Taiwan Affairs Office released a statement about the current PLA joint military exercises around Taiwan

"the joint military exercises... around the Taiwan Island are a resolute punishment for the rampant “Taiwan independence” provocations of the Lai Ching-te authorities, a stern warning to “Taiwan independence” separatist forces"

(via Michael Turton on BlueSky bsky.app/profile/michaelturton)

PRC Taiwan Affairs Office’s Statement Regarding PLA Exercises April 1st, 2025 On April 1, Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, stated that the joint military exercises carried out by the Eastern Theater Command of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army around the Taiwan Island are a resolute punishment for the rampant “Taiwan independence” provocations of the Lai Ching-te authorities, a stern warning to “Taiwan independence” separatist forces that deliberately undermine peace in the Taiwan Strait, and a necessary move to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity. Zhu Fenglian said that Lai Ching-te stubbornly upholds a “Taiwan independence” separatist position, brazenly defines the mainland as a “hostile foreign force,” puts forward the so-called “17 strategies,” recklessly provokes the mainland, incites “anti-China” and “resist-China” sentiment, obstructs cross-Strait exchanges and cooperation, and intensifies tensions in the Taiwan Strait. This fully confirms that he is a “saboteur of cross-Strait peace” and a “creator of crisis in the Taiwan Strait,” thoroughly exposing his ugly nature of opposing peace, opposing exchanges, opposing democracy, and opposing humanity. We will never tolerate or condone this, and must resolutely counter and severely punish it. Zhu Fenglian stated that “Taiwan independence” means war; pursuing “Taiwan independence” means pushing Taiwan compatriots into a dangerous situation of war.

There is an absolutely superb summary produced by Beltran, Davis, & Taylor, of the Russian war against Ukraine, in the New York Times.

It's a long read, unsurprisingly, as it is a long war, but I cannot recommend it strongly enough for those that wish a deeper understanding of the conflict up to the point of Trump's second term.

nytimes.com/interactive/2025/0

It makes me want to raise funds for attritable air platforms to carry Wide Area Motion Imaging payloads for the Ukranians, so they might (EM spectrum permitting) be assured of what lies in the ground ahead of them, and keep moving swiftly (for to remain still or move slowly in battle - or indeed any conflict - is usually a terrible idea).

I am astonished that attempts to demolish the Kerch Strait bridge were forbidden by the US in 2022, and much later, that ban was lifted. Strategically, I'm gobsmacked at the way both sides prioritise politically desirable targets over winning the conflict definitively. Perhaps I am naive.

I am sad that the most excellent authors of the piece did not point out Ukraine's population demographics (worth looking up to understand why they abhor sending under-25yos to fight).

I am sure others reading this account will view it from a different aspect and be surprised by different things. I'd be curious to know what they are (as well as any hashtags I missed) if anyone cares to post here!

I describe here 4 decades of US defense/intelligence reports on the threat of #climatechange to national security.

gleick.com/blog/a-history-of-u

The new 2025 report from Trump's Office of the Director of National Intelligence explicitly censors out ANY mention of #climate change threats to #peace and #security or to the operations and bases of US #military. This is political interference with intelligence analysis.
