Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez in Ceuta:

We will continue cooperating with the Moroccan authorities, whose willingness to work together I also wish to acknowledge, so that these repatriations can be carried out as quickly as possible and the migrants who arrived irregularly, particularly yesterday, can return to their country.

Wars against the China-Russia-Iran axis are increasingly converging.

China and Russia are fueling Iran's war effort, while Ukraine is disrupting Russian supply lines.

The United States needs to develop a plan for how to tackle this multi-front war, @RLHeinrichs warns.

JUST IN - PM Sanchez blames mafia for the illegal migrant invasion, and reassures the people of Ceuta that military troops, more police officers and border control officers are being sent and "that he would do all that was necessary," with some migrants already being sent back.

🚨 The "News Outlet" Was a Front, And the FBI Just Kicked Down Its Door

The reporter who hands you the news may be reading from Beijing's script. That is no longer a suspicion. This week it became a search warrant.

FBI agents fanned out across Southern California, raiding the home and West Covina office of James Su, CEO of EDI Media — a company that bills itself as the largest Chinese American multimedia firm in the country, by its own count reaching more than 35 million people a year. Agents also hit a San Bernardino County supervisor, an Ontario councilman, and a Chinese-owned Beverly Hills mansion. The thread tying it together: a widening probe into public corruption and Chinese Communist Party influence operations on American soil.

EDI Media was forced to register as a foreign agent in 2022 after printing the U.S. edition of a newspaper the State Department labeled a Chinese government "foreign mission." Think about what that means. A platform Chinese-speaking Americans trusted for local news was, in the government's own words, an arm of a hostile state.

This is not one bad actor. Two months ago, former Arcadia mayor Eileen Wang pleaded guilty to secretly acting as an agent for China. Her method was chillingly simple: Chinese handlers sent her pre-written articles over encrypted WeChat, and she posted them on a site dressed up as a community news source — the "U.S. News Center." Her associate is already serving four years in federal prison.

The playbook is now unmistakable. Build a friendly-looking outlet. Fill it with Beijing's talking points. Launder propaganda as journalism to the very diaspora that fled the Party's control.

The FBI is treating this as the national-security threat it is. No one has been charged in the EDI raids yet, and that matters, due process cuts both ways. But the pattern is documented in guilty pleas and prison sentences.

So read your Chinese-language news with open eyes. Ask who owns the outlet, who funds it, and whose interests it quietly serves. In this fight, a skeptical reader is a line of defense.

Greek Defense Minister Nikos Dendias:

I was sorry that I had to authorize the arrest of a Greek Air Force colonel for espionage on behalf of a big foreign power. You can imagine which one I'm mentioning.

No, that is not acceptable. That is not acceptable.

We respect China, but we demand their respect as well.

#France Accuses #Russia of Major Cyber Campaign in Hybrid Warfare
- France publicly denounced a large-scale, multi-year cyber operation by Russia’s FSB (16th Center, Unit 61420) targeting its Armed Forces and the Quai d’Orsay (Foreign Ministry).
- The attacks used the signature “Turla” toolkit for espionage and sabotage.
- The malicious campaign also hit other #EU nations: #Germany, #Poland, #Cyprus, the #Netherlands, #Austria, #Slovakia, #Romania and #Finland.
- Paris summoned the Russian ambassador and issued a strong condemnation.
- This marks another escalation in hybrid threats, moving beyond previous GRU-linked incidents to direct FSB attribution.
- As tensions rise, Western allies are increasingly calling out cyber aggression.
- Question remains: Will they also decide to increase adequately the cost to Russia and other rogue states for this type of repeat behavior? High time.

Russia is replacing the Wagner Group with the Kremlin-controlled Africa Corps. This is not a shadow operation; it is a deliberate expansion of Russian power.

Our investigation reveals that the Africa Corps is leveraging Russian and Guinean businesses for military purposes. And we found evidence that the Guinea Conakry port terminal, operated by two Russian-Guinean companies, is a major hub.

Civilians are paying the price: Russian fighters perpetrate rape, torture, beheadings, mutilation, and summary executions.
