NATO's Rutte in Ankara Summit:We don't have the luxury of time. We need the capabilities now to ensure we remain ready. Russia is putting almost half of its national budget into its war machine. Can you imagine Almost 50% of what Russia spends is put into the war machine. Its defense industry is working around the clock. And not only the defense industry — also the rest of the industrial base in Russia is supporting the war effort. China continues to modernize its armed forces and expand its nuclear capabilities without transparency. North Korea continues to expand its nuclear program and supply to Russia. While recent action has significantly degraded Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile programs, we must remain vigilant. These countries are increasingly working together. And that should concern us all, because I assure you, they do not have our best interests in mind
AFP: Solomon Islands lodges strong protest with China over missile test
1 week agoThe U.S. State Department has published a statement responding to yesterday's test launch of a nuclear-capable submarine-launched intercontinental ballistic missile towards the Southern Pacific Ocean by China, with the statement reading: "The United States monitored China's test launch from a submarine of an unarmed intercontinental-range ballistic missile, which landed in the Southern Pacific Ocean. At a time when the United States is working harder than ever to prevent nuclear proliferation, China is doing the opposite. Beijing's rapid and opaque nuclear weapons buildup is of great concern to the region and the world. We continue to urge China to engage in meaningful arms control discussions and commit to a regularized notification arrangement for all intercontinental-range ballistic missile and space launches consistent with commitments made by all other P5 members. The United States remains steadfast in our defense commitments to our allies and partners

China called it routine training with a dummy warhead. New Zealand protested the short notice, while Australia called the test "destabilizing" for the region. Source: BBC
