Note:
⚡️🇮🇱❌🇵🇸 - The airstrikes and artillery bombardment on Gaza did not truly stop.

One strike in particular killed 10, including children, in northern Gaza's 'AlTuffah'.

Atleast 30 have been killed since the morning.

🇨🇳🇹🇼 China's newest aircraft carrier, Fujian (18), sailed south to Sanya and was spotted alongside CNS Shandong (17) for the first time.

After transiting the Taiwan Strait in mid-September, Fujian completed sea trials and integration tests in the South China Sea before its upcoming commissioning. A notable uptick in PLA air and naval activity coincided with the southern voyage and training ops.

🇺🇸💸 It’s not a silent recession.

It’s just that the stock market, Fed, Administration, and Congress are so disconnected from Main Street that they have zero idea that the economy is crumbling.

And because of this disconnect, it means that there is no rescue package coming.

🇹🇼🇷🇺🛢 Taiwan became the largest importer of Russian oil in 2025

They purchased oil worth $1.3 billion, increasing the average monthly import volume sixfold compared to 2022.

Taiwan has spent $11.2 billion on Russian fuel since 2022, which is 220 times more than its aid to Ukraine

🇺🇦🇷🇺 In Ukraine, the frontline has disappeared from the battlefield. Instead there is a “kill-zone” - a strip with width ranging from 500 m up to 6–7 km, sometimes even 10 km, where Ukrainian and Russian dugouts and shelters are mixed together, and called “firing positions” in official reports.

A so-called grey zone is a 20–30 km strip between Ukrainian main forces and the Russian forces, which is constantly monitored by reconnaissance UAVs and fired upon by both sides. The few kilometers of that strip closest to the Russian positions - that’s no longer a gray zone but a kill-zone, where a person, whether military or civilian, is constantly playing hide-and-seek with death.

🇻🇪⚔️🇺🇸 Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro says the U.S. military buildup in the Caribbean is aimed at Venezuela’s oil, gas, and gold reserves, which are among the largest in the world.

He accuses Washington of creating “Hollywood stories” about narco-trafficking to cast him as the villain.

Maduro insists it is all a pretext to justify U.S. intervention.

🔫⛔️👃 — 📰 ZeroHedge | FBI Cuts All Ties With ADL, Calling It 'Political Front' Disguised As A Watchdog | October 2, 2025:

"In a striking move for an administration that caters to the State of Israel and its American supporters, the FBI has severed its ties with the staunchly pro-Israel Anti-Defamation League (ADL), with Director Kash Patel saying the bureau refuses to team up with "political fronts masquerading as watchdogs."

The move comes after the ADL found itself facing a conservative uproar over including the recently-assassinated Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA in its "Glossary of Extremism and Hate." On Tuesday, the ADL announced it was retiring the glossary, a measure that failed to spare the 102-year-old group from an extraordinarily rare rebuke from a senior US official.

"James Comey wrote 'love letters' to the ADL and embedded FBI agents with them - a group that ran disgraceful ops spying on Americans," wrote Patel on X. "That era is OVER. This FBI won’t partner with political fronts masquerading as watchdogs."

🇷🇺❗️❗️❌🔫🇺🇦 — 📰 Financial Times | Russian missile upgrade outpaces Ukraine’s Patriot defences | Kyiv’s interception rates fall as enemy strikes dodge US interceptors in final seconds | October 2, 2025:

"Months of devastating Russian air attacks suggest Moscow has succeeded in altering its missiles to evade Ukraine’s air defences, according to Ukrainian and western officials.

Bombardments that targeted Ukrainian drone makers this summer were a prominent example of Russia improving its ballistic missiles to better defeat US Patriot batteries, current and former Ukrainian and western officials told the Financial Times.

Russia was likely to have modified its Iskander-M mobile system, which launches missiles with an estimated range of up to 500km, as well as Kinzhal air-launched ballistic missiles, which can fly up to 480km, they added.

The missiles now follow a typical trajectory before diverting and plunging into a steep terminal dive or executing manoeuvres that “confuse and avoid” Patriot interceptors.

It is a “game-changer for Russia”, said one former Ukrainian official. With Kyiv also contending with slower deliveries of air defence interceptors from the US, the missile campaign has destroyed key military facilities and critical infrastructure ahead of winter."
