"This is Xenia Onatopp. Ex-Soviet fighter pilot with links to the Janus crime syndicate. She is one of the most undervalued femme fatales in supervillainry. Her defect is that she squeezes men to death during sex."
Speaking of candid. This is quite blunt from the Prime Minister in his NYT interview. Albanese says China is projecting an "image of certainty" going forward and is looking to establish "hegemony" in the longer term
Bone shaker! Watch the four afterburners of a Rockwell B-1B Lancer launching from RAF Fairford yesterday. The rumbling sound, and vibrations shaking the camera.
Quite candid. Pacific Minister Pat Conroy tells #ASPIDefCon26 that Pacific nations have agency in the "permanent contest" between larger powers. But he says Australia wants to encourage Pacific countries to "move beyond" the "transactional playing off" of development partners
Same mission, different era ✈️
Operation Gateway is one of Australia’s longest-running Defence operations.
It has been bringing Australia and Malaysia together in support of regional security since 1980, with the first mission in 1981.
In the most recent Operation Gateway rotation, three @AusAirForce P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft deployed to Royal Malaysian Air Force Base Butterworth in 📍 Malaysia in June.
Swipe through to see how Operation Gateway has evolved over four and a half decades. ➡️

The Kremlin’s cognitive warfare is evolving. Leaked documents from Russia’s Social Design Agency reveal efforts to move beyond planting fabricated stories on social media. Now Russian influence operators are trying to create Wikipedia clones and fake think tanks to shape the information powering search engines and AI chatbots. https://t.co/R1NqMxyJjr
"An underground intelligence network uses subterfuge and honey traps to direct drone strikes deep inside Russian-occupied territory".

🇦🇺 1991 Australian Touring Championship - Oran Park Raceway in Sydney.
Sprint Race
Car 17
🇦🇺 Dick Johnson - Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth
In car with DJ during the race with a great sounding but airy Ford RS.
The 1991 Australian Touring Car Championship (ATCC) concluded on August 11 at Oran Park Raceway. For Dick Johnson, the finale—and the 1991 season as a whole—was a difficult period that signaled the decline of the Ford Sierra RS500's dominance against the surging Nissan Skyline GT-R "Godzilla."
Early in the race, Johnson was involved in a collision with Win Percy’s Holden Racing Team (HRT) Commodore VN, which compromised his race as you can see in this clip with the whole rear wing, boot and other parts well and truly crushed.
Dick Johnson finished 11th in the final round. The race was won by Mark Skaife, capping a season where Nissan secured seven of the nine round victories.

If rumours are to be believed I'll be living with a seventh different Prime Minister shortly. If it carries on like this I'm going to stop making the effort to learn their names.

Amazing footage of DJ at the wheel of the Falcon having a big hit during the shootout lap.
He kept the car on full throttle even with the potential risk of the right rear tyre letting go.
The crew would go onto win the event come race today 🏆
