Japan's Navy Is a Lot More Powerful Than You Realize
Key point: Japan may have an aging population problem, but its navy is highly-advanced. In fact, Tokyo still arguably could give Beijing’s navy a run for its money… maybe. The best navy in Asia has a total of 114 warships and 45,800 volunteer personnel. It has a large fleet of fast, powerful...

China, the world’s largest oil importer, has become highly dependent on Gulf oil, which accounted for over 50 percent of China’s imports in the first quarter of 2022. In 2021, China imported a staggering $128 billion worth of crude oil from countries in the Gulf near the Strait of Hormuz, three times more than the United States and European Union (EU) combined.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration has estimated that 76 percent of the crude oil and condensatethat passed through the strait in 2018 went to Asian markets. China, India, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore were the main destinations, accounting for 65 percent of all oil shipped through the strait that year. In contrast, the United States imported around 1.4 mbpd of oil through the Strait of Hormuz in 2018, accounting for about 18 percent of total U.S. crude oil imports.
Why China Is Emerging as a Main Promoter of Stability in the Strait of Hormuz
Because of its reliance on the Gulf region for much of its oil and gas, China has a strong interest in preserving security in the region, an early example of which was its mediation of the recent Saudi Arabia-Iran reconciliation.
China relies more on the strait than we do. It’s be like shooting themselves in the head twice.
Very true. China would be pissed.

Engaging in a military action against a country's nuclear weapons program, such as attacking a facility, could be considered an act of war, even without a formal declaration of war.

American leadership right now is really this dumb. Unreal.
That’s enough internet-discussion for me this morning
Trump-Iran live: 'Death to America' chants in Tehran - as Iran hits out at Trump's 'unacceptable' remarks about supreme leader
Donald Trump lashed out at Iran's supreme leader over claims Tehran won the war against Israel. But Iran's foreign minister warned the US president about his "disrespectful and unacceptable tone". Follow live and listen to Trump 100 below.
Trump hits out at 'pathetic' Republican over Iran criticism
Donald Trump has called out Republican Thomas Massie for suggesting the US strikes on Iran yesterday were unconstitutional.The US president said Massie was a "simple-minded grandstander" on Truth Social, calling him a "pathetic LOSER", "disrespectful to our great military" and "weak".
Massie is part of a small minority within Trump's party to go against his strikes on Iran. Some Democrats have called for the president to be impeached after taking part in military action without approval from Congress.

I think he's talking about the broad population not the specialized fields with like 5% of the populationScience and technology in Israel is one of the country's most developed sectors. Israel spent 4.3% of its gross domestic product (GDP) on civil research and development in 2015, the highest ratio in the world.[1] In 2019, Israel was ranked the world's fifth most innovative country by the Bloomberg Innovation Index.[2] It ranks thirteenth in the world for scientific output as measured by the number of scientific publications per million citizens.[3] In 2014, Israel's share of scientific articles published worldwide (0.9%) was nine times higher than its share of the global population (0.1%).

You should take over Irans intelligence services, I heard they have openings.
I would think they would warn China before hand, but who knows what is happening behind the scenes right now.

Sounds like you’re making this up.A lot of that is with the help of American brainpower. You think they doing all of that on their own in 2025 without our research power, scientific findings, engineering and foundation?

US 'must receive response for their aggression' - Iranian president
published at 17:48
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian says the US "must receive a response for their aggression" after a phone call with French President Emmanuel Macron.
In a statement released on the Iranian presidency's website, Pezeshkian says Iran has been "subjected to military aggression" and has "defended ourselves steadfastly".
"We have always stated that we are ready to engage and negotiate within the framework of international law, but instead of accepting logic, the other side has demanded the surrender of the Iranian nation," he says.
Pezeshkian adds: "Our nation will never surrender to bullying and oppression, and it is natural that it will respond appropriately to aggression."
