It isn't clear if this is manned or unmanned.

Man or unmanned, it is clearly a supersonic, ultra-stealthy air combat aircraft.

🇮🇱🤝📱 Israel pressured X/Twitter to remove the blue checkmark from the U.N. Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese.

Albanese has criticised repeatedly Israel's massacre of Palestinians in Gaza, called for cessation of hostilities and for Israel to end the apartheid regime against the Palestinian Arabs and integrate them into Israeli society.

These calls drew her the wrath of the Israel lobby who has started a campaign to slander Francesca Albanese's name, discrediting her work and seeking her removal as the UN Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories.

Recently, Foreign Secretary, Marco Rubio, had Albanese sanctioned as part of Israel's push to avoid any accountability for the systematic murder and starvation of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.

🇮🇳🇨🇳 No, India is not ready to deal with the consequences. That’s why migration is inserted into nearly every trade deal it negotiates. The West is seen not as a partner, but as a pressure valve for India’s surplus of unemployed youth.

The West, especially the US, has spent several decades as a safety valve for India and China's overproduced elites. Now our grad job market is coming to resemble theirs'. Not good.

🇰🇷 How Excessive Use of C-Sections is Hurting Fertility in Korea and Around the World

In Korea, an incredible 59% of deliveries are by C-section. This is one cause of South Korea's low birthrates since C-sections significantly lower the number of births a woman will have.

These rates in Korea and other countries are far above international guidelines for best maternal and neonatal outcomes (around 10-15 C-sections per 100 births).

Where rates of C-section are high, fertility tends to be much lower, by ~ 1/3 birth/woman in advanced countries.

The same relationship holds for US states. Although the variation in the rate of C-sections is just 23% to 38%, we still see that a higher rate of C-sections is linked to fewer births.

Numerous studies have confirmed this relationship. But why?

Demographer Lyman Stone explains how C-sections reduce future fertility

First, studies find the ability to conceive is reduced after a C-section, likely because of scar tissue in the uterus.

Second, doctors advise women to avoid becoming pregnant again after 2-3 C-sections

But what is going on with Korea? Why are doctors performing so many C-sections in South Korea when they are so damaging to a woman's future fertility?

Is this medically necessary? Mostly no. The prevalence of C-sections in South Korea looks random.

The reason for excessive C-sections is money.

In Korea, doctors are compensated very little for vaginal delivery (one fifth to one third of similar countries). Combined with lawsuit risk, profitability for obstetricians was low.

Many OBs went out of business. Many others increased profitability through C-sections.

🇫🇷☄️ Massive Cyberattack Hits French Defense Sector: Naval Group Suffers Historic Data Breach

‼️ A major cybersecurity breach has struck the French defense industry, with Naval Group — France’s premier shipbuilding company — emerging as the primary target. The attack has also indirectly affected THALES, Dassault, and Safran systems.

🖥 According to initial reports: Over 13GB of internal data has already been leaked publicly. The total data dump exceeds 1TB in size

🔍 The leaked files reportedly include:

Full source code for the Combat Management Systems (CMS) used on French frigates and nuclear-powered submarines

Weapon system software

Simulation environments

Internal emails, user manuals, and network documentation

Restricted content related to aircraft, including the Rafale-M


❗️The hacker, using the alias "Neferpitou", gave Naval Group a 72-hour deadline to respond. When no agreement was reached, the entire data set was dumped online for free, suggesting the motive may not be financial but rather ideological or political.

❗️Naval Group has issued a brief statement saying it is investigating the incident, while experts are already beginning to verify the authenticity of the materials — many of which appear legitimate.

🇮🇱 Netanyahu moves to fire attorney general prosecuting him for corruption

Why it matters: This is the first time an Israeli government has ever voted to fire an attorney general. The move sparked immediate accusations Netanyahu was seeking to protect himself and his aides.

Before the cabinet vote, the supreme court told the government this procedure for firing the attorney general was inappropriate and made clear it would issue an injunction if it passed.

While the supreme court is likely to rule against the government, Netanyahu and his loyalists pushed this move to rally their political base, delegitimize the attorney general and put pressure on her to resign.

🇮🇳 For decades, India has been known as a young nation.

With over 65% of its population below 35, the country has traditionally enjoyed a demographic advantage that has fuelled its economic engine. But the tide is turning—quickly.

Already, 10.5% of India’s population, or about 150 million people, are over 60. By 2050, this number is set to reach 380 million (or 21% of the total population). To put that in perspective, India’s elderly population alone will surpass the current population of the United States. In fact, CBRE estimates that India will account for 17% of the world’s senior citizens.

Is India ready? Does it have the facilities/infrastructure/healthcare? Will it open up more employment opportunities to people above 60 and raise its retirement age in govt and private sector? Are there enough senior living communities? Are there adequate social clubs and activities? Are the current pensions adequate?

🇷🇺🇺🇦 In the Kupyansk direction, Russian forces continued their offensive on Kupyansk and have reached the city centre.

Russian forces advanced in two areas. In the east, they pushed south down the highway, clearing houses on Lenina Street, while significantly advancing in the area of Michurina Street.

In the west, Russian forces cleared the rest of the western industrial zone, and crossed the Kupyanka River into central Moskovka, establishing a bridgehead on its western bank in two different residential streets.

Russian forces have rapidly reached the city centre from the north, and are now just 1.5km from the main bridge over the Oskil River connecting the Ukrainian bridgehead on its eastern bank - including in eastern Kupyansk - to the rest of Kharkiv Oblast.

Once this highway is cut, all supplies into the pocket will have to go via a bridge to the south in Kupyansk-Vuzlovyi, or over pontoon bridges (although this brings its own separate issues). This creates a bottle neck that can easily be targeted, which will naturally result in the collapse of the bridgehead, the alignment of the front along the river, and a refocusing of efforts to complete the capture of the city and the surrounding areas.

Supply is already difficult for the AFU in the bridgehead, and the only thing preventing the current Russian assault operations there from achieving breakthroughs is the natural obstacles and significant fortification that lie in Russia's way.

While the fall of Kupyansk may not be imminent, there is a real threat of this northern bridge being cut, which will undoubtably create massive problems for Ukrainian forces in the area.

US Navy and Coast Guard Shipbuilding in Disarray and No US Commercial Shipbuilding | What's Going on With Shipping?

📝 Sal says that the US will lose aircraft carriers as we build them at a pace of 10-15 years, while our current ones are aging, in need of repairs etc. And that we are cannibalizing current construction of carriers for spare parts going to existing carriers.

He also discussed how we got rid of all of our destroyers we planned to build with VLS cells and the terrible shape that our amphibious ships are in. That we lack facilities to even repair these or the firefighting equipment to even deal with accidents.

He says we will be forced to reflag ships from Asian allies to make up for our lack of ships in general. This is a common point by John Konrad as well. But these tend to be civilian ships.

Also that our shipbuilding is completely leaderless and nobody knows how current funding will be allocated. Even our icebreaker building initiative seems to be dead in the water.

All of this is happening even before the first ships are lost due to a potential war.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 NEW: Russian forces recently advanced northeast of Siversk during a reinforced company-sized mechanized assault. (1/3)

The Ukrainian brigade that repelled the assault reported that Russian forces used six tanks, three armored personnel carriers (APCs), six MT-LB armored fighting vehicles (AFVs), an armored recovery vehicle, 12 civilian vehicles, two buggies, and 41 motorcycles.

Russian forces have long attempted to seize Siversk and have consistently attacked along the front line in the Siversk direction since at least Summer 2024.

Other Key Takeaways:

Russian forces appear to be using armored vehicles more frequently in some tactical attacks after a decrease in the use of armor since Winter 2024-2025.

The Kremlin reasserted its unchanged commitment to achieving its long-standing war aims in Ukraine that amount to nothing short of Ukraine's full capitulation, undermining Russia's diplomatic posturing.

Ukrainian forces recently killed a Russian commander in the Velykyi Burluk direction.

Russian forces recently advanced near Siversk, Toretsk, and Novopavlivka and in western Zaporizhia Oblast.

🇨🇳🇪🇺 The EU-China summit which was expected to last from July 24th to July 27th ended early after one day!

Talks between Beijing and Brussels quickly reached a standstill as Brussels' main conditions for trade with other countries and economic blocks are related to "respect for international law and human rights".

EU leaders brought up China's covert support for Russia, not deterred by the rebuke the EU diplomatic chief, Kaja Kallas, received a few weeks ago from the Chinese foreign minister, Wang Yi, that China will not drop its alliance with Russia, no matter what the EU offers them. China's position regarding the Russian invasion of Ukraine was made the principal "factor" in EU-China relations by Brussels.

After that, EU leaders brought up other topics of concern for them such as: increased competition from the Chinese auto industry, opaque export controls on rare earth metals, threats against Taiwan, and human rights violations against the Uyghurs, with Ursula von der Leyen threatening Beijing with "consequences" if these issues were not resolved.

The only consensus reached at the meeting was the commitment not to retreat from the Paris Agreement on climate change.

Chinese president, Xi Jinping gave a speech after the talks ended, without any European leaders present, without going into specifics and called for greater mutual understanding and trust. He assured: “Europe’s current challenges do not come from China.”

Although pro-EU press presented this summit as a "success" the reality is far gloomier: this was a resounding failure for Brussels. They came with the hope of aligning China to the values of the neoliberal world only for the Chinese to laugh in their faces.

The Chinese have already conquered part of the European market and they will continue to do so in the future while also displacing Europe from other markets. Moreover, in other industries, Chinese manufacturing power and laxer regulations will effectively kill European competition.

But that's not all: the fact is that China is the largest supplier of goods to the EU (21.3%)! Other partners are far behind: 13.7% of imports come from the USA, 6.8% from Britain, 5.6% from Switzerland.

The situation is that the main trading partner does not buy yours and gradually occupies your markets and the worst part: nobody in the European Commission, Council or Parliament have a plan as to how to combat Chinese domination the EU Common Market and instead do the opposite by crippling European industry with regulations and the emphasis on using only wind and solar energy leading to exorbitant prices making most industrial activities unprofitable and redundant, all for the sake of the "environment".

✡️❌🇷🇴 The American Jewish Committee publicly condemned Romanian president, Nicușor Dan, for his decision to block the promulgation of the heinous Vexler law!

Writing on X/Twitter, the AJC expressed its concerns that President Nicușor Dan is using support from rightwing parties in the Romanian Parliament to overturn the Vexler law.

The AJC urges Nicușor Dan to stop what he’s doing and promulgate the law and “stop promoting extremism and antisemitism”.

The Vexler law with its vague definitions of “fascism” and “war criminal” deliberately makes the two terms synonymous and coupled with the fact that many historical figures have had the “war criminal” label attached to their names in political trials organised by the communist government after WW2, this leads to the eternal damnation of the legacy and works of hundreds of intellectuals who have served in the Royal Romanian Army during WW2, worked as bureaucrats in the royal state or published anti-Marxist journals, papers etc.

President Nicușor Dan is smart and considerate enough to try and make justice for these people who, under this new law, would be barred from being studied in learning institutions or spoken about in public.
