Attempted crafter of words and styrene

As it was, the crews of the field-parked Backfires, in the best aviation tradition, had to accept the primary flight data during briefings in the regiments’ ready rooms. Of course, they had the preliminary plans and knew roughly the location of the incoming air-sea battle and the abilities of the enemy—the task force’s air defenses. In fact, the sorties were carefully planned, going in. But planning was very general for the way out. The following conversation in the ready room of the MRA's 183rd Air Regiment, Pacific Fleet NAF, which occurred in the mid-1980s, shows this very honestly. A young second lieutenant, a Backfire WSO fresh from the air college, asked the senior navigator of the regiment, an old major: “Sir, tell me why we have a detailed flight plan to the target over the vast ocean, but only a rough dot-and-dash line across Hokkaido Island on way back?” “Son, ” answered the major calmly, “if your crew manages to get the plane back out of the sky over the carrier by any means, on half a wing broken by a Phoenix and a screaming prayer, no matter whether it’s somewhere over Hokkaido or directly through the moon, it’ll be the greatest possible thing in your entire life!” There may have been silent laughter from the shade of a kamikaze in the corner of the room at that moment.

The National Security Council condemns in the strongest terms the Al-generated video released by Chinese state media portraying the Filipino people through racist and dehumanizing imagery while promoting false narratives on the West Philippine Sea. Far from satire, the video is a calculated attempt to discredit a legal truth that has remained legally intact for a decade. The 2016 South China Sea Arbitral Award remains a landmark affirmation of the rule of law in the South China Sea. It declared that China's so-called nine-dash line has no legal basis under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. It affirmed the Philippines' sovereign rights within its exclusive economic zone and reinforced a principle that protects every nation, large or small: that rights at sea are determined by international law, not by power, intimidation, or manufactured narratives. Those findings remain unchanged. They have not been reversed, modified, or diminished. Ten years later, China's inability to accept the facts and legal principles of the Arbitral Award has led the party-state to abandon reason in favor of bullying and racist imagery intended to distract from its unlawful actions. When a legal position cannot be sustained before the law, the effort shifts to undermining the law itself, and those who uphold it. Racist caricatures and manufactured narratives cannot erase legal facts. They only expose the absence of a credible legal answer. The National Security Council calls on the People's Republic of China to reject the use of state-sponsored propaganda that seeks to dehumanize and degrade the dignity of any people. We urge China to set aside the "last refuge" of insults and instead demonstrate the restraint, responsibility, and respect for international law that build confidence and foster cooperation among nations. Adherence to the final and binding 2016 Arbitral Award, alongside respect for truth and human dignity, remains the only durable foundation for peace, sta…

According to PAP on July 9 Kosiniak-Kamysz said Poland's involvement would be essential to transferring the necessary technology and equipment for the project. “Our country is one of four NATO members—alongside Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands—that was granted the status in Ankara allowing the transfer of technologies related to the production and maintenance of Patriot missiles,” the minister said. Kosiniak-Kamysz added that Poland would cooperate with Ukraine on the missile production program, with preparations expected to take only several weeks.
