⚓️ 🇰🇷 🇵🇱 South Korean mega shipbuilders are now participating in Poland's Orka submarine program.
-Hyundai Heavy Industries
-Hanwha Ocean
They bring the total solution, know how to build massive commercial ships, mega plants, large surface combatants and non-nuclear propelled AIP heavy submarines(KSS-III Batch-I, II).
South Korea can provide long range high precision missiles and technology transfers to Poland.
-Japan, South Korea are already operating heavy submarines with highly advanced systems.
-Contractors need new models for the Polish submarine program.
-Building new submarines always follows a risk of delay and cost increase compared to surface ships.
-Hyunmoo-III long range cruise missile can strike the heart of Russia(1,000~3,000km).
-South Korean KSS-III models are strong candidates for Indian and Canadian submarine programs.
-It will be interesting.

🇨🇳 Chinese military scientists claim to have achieved a ‘huge breakthrough’ on laser weapon technology

•High-energy laser weapons can now operate ‘infinitely’ thanks to a new cooling system that completely eliminates the build-up of waste heat

•The technology could significantly change the face of battle by extending engagement times, and increasing range and damage, researchers say

🇺🇸 🇷🇺 On the topic of CIA subversion in Russia:

Rather than a new cold war, our era is one perhaps more comparable to the 19th century in terms of various empires competing across the globe. And so, the US is openly trying to influence fifth columns in Russia, along with efforts throughout the former Soviet space, especially Central Asia.

The Russians have returned to being a global player after recovering from the Soviet collapse. They expend their own energy to influence American dissidents or interact throughout America's backyard in Latin America. A tale as old as time in geopolitical rivalries for millenia.

In a world of instant communications, spycraft has heavily become digitized with cyber teams focused more on human psychology than hard military intelligence gathering.

🚀 🇺🇸 The US government is taking a serious step toward space-based nuclear propulsion
"NASA is looking to go to Mars with this system."

Four years from now, if all goes well, a nuclear-powered rocket engine will launch into space for the first time. The rocket itself will be conventional, but the payload boosted into orbit will be a different matter.

NASA announced Wednesday that it is partnering with the US Department of Defense to launch a nuclear-powered rocket engine into space as early as 2027. The US space agency will invest about $300 million in the project to develop a next-generation propulsion system for in-space transportation.

"NASA is looking to go to Mars with this system," said Anthony Calomino, an engineer at NASA who is leading the agency's space nuclear propulsion technology program. "And this test is really going to give us that foundation."

🇸🇾 🇯🇴The Jordanian military downed a drone from Syria carrying crystal meth into Jordan on Sunday

"War-torn Syria has become a hub for a multi-billion-dollar drugs trade, with Jordan a main transit route to the oil-rich Gulf states for a Syrian-made amphetamine known as captagon, Western anti-narcotics officials and Washington say.

Citing a source within the Jordanian armed forces, the state agency said in a statement the drone was "taken control of and downed".

The Jordanian military has previously downed drones from Syria carrying narcotics or weapons but has rarely identified seized drugs as crystal meth.

Military and security officials from Jordan and Syria have met to discuss ways to curb the growing smuggling problem. Despite pledges by Damascus, Jordan says it has not seen any real attempt to clamp down on the illicit trade.

There was no immediate comment from Syrian authorities. In an interview last week, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad denied Syria's role in the drug trade, saying that ending narcotics smuggling was a common interest that Syria shares with Arab countries."

🇩🇪 Germany is debating whether to ban the far-Right Alternative for Germany (AfD) as the party surges to 21 per cent in the polls, amid warnings from intelligence officials that its members are becoming increasingly extreme

In a rare move, the respected Der Spiegel news magazine weighed into the debate with a leader noscriptd: “Ban the enemies of the constitution!” 
It warned that “the AfD has become more and more radicalised. It’s time to defend democracy with better weapons”.

The co-leader of Olaf Scholz’s ruling Social Democrats also said a ban should be considered if the AfD is categorised as a group of “proven Right-wing extremists” by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution.

🇺🇦❌🇵🇱— UKRAINE IS PLAYING WITH GERMANY AND THE US FOR A CHANGE OF GOVERNMENT IN WARSAW

Since May this year, a number of incidents have occurred between Poland and Ukraine.

First off, the disproportionate reaction to the Polish FM's comments in a media program that called for the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky to apologize to Poland for the Volhynia massacre, followed by the Ukrainian Institute for National Remembrance claiming Ukraine would not resume the exhumations of Polish victims of the Volhynia massacre until Poland restored monuments on Polish territory to the Ukrainian liberation army. Next was the Ukrainian grain embargo, in which the European Commission took Ukraine's side. Poland led the charge on behalf of other Eastern European countries when banning Ukrainian grain import bans. This eventually led to every European country bordering Ukraine to ban grain imports, which the European Commission would reluctantly allow.

Ukraine then accused Poland of trying to stop the transit of Ukrainian grain and falsely accused Poland of being in violation of the World Trade Organization's rules. And last week, the Ukrainian government summoned the Polish ambassador to Kiev after the comments made by Polish President Andrzej Duda's chief aide about Ukraine's lack of understanding for Poland's farmers and that Kiev should be more grateful for Polish help.

In the editorial written by Polish political scientist Dr. Przemysław Żurawski vel Grajewski, he reaches the conclusion that Ukraine wants to join NATO, and that the U.S. perspective will be the final decision maker. However, regarding EU membership, he believes that Germany will make the final call. Ukraine seems to think that defeating Russia is in Poland's national interests, Poland will support whatever Kiev will do, so a liberal Polish government backed by Washington and Berlin seems like the better option for them, and by cooling relations with the incumbent Polish govt., they seek that.

The Leaders affirmed the priority of international and Arab legal references to settle the Palestinian issue and stressed the following.

2) The need to stop settler terrorism and extremist currents and hold them accountable

The King of Jordan and the Palestinian President also praised the role of Egypt and the Egyptian President in uniting the Palestinian ranks and ending the division, especially in Gaza.

No.1 most likely refers to Israeli occupation of Jerusalem, not the actual entity itself, as most Arab leaders are in favor of returning to 1967 borders instead of the complete abolition of Israel.. so far.
