The “Banlong” Interchange in Chongqing… a pinnacle of engineering brilliance in traffic design

The vital Banlong Interchange in Chongqing stands as one of the most complex transportation and infrastructure projects in the world.
This massive arterial hub features a unique multi‑layered structure with five elevated levels and 15 bridge ramps serving eight major directions, ensuring smooth traffic flow despite its extraordinary complexity.

The emergence of the F-47 tells us one important thing; it has canards.📜

This means US has decidedly fallen into 2nd tier air power status. Crowning China as the only 1st tier air power.

Why? Because the US can't design and engineer a supersonic tailless 6th gen fighter.

So why is being tailless so important for a 6th gen fighter? Because the vertical tail, the horizontal stabilizers and canards are all small control surfaces that will resonate with low frequency early warning radars. Lighting up for UHF and VHF radars like Christmas decorations.

5th gen fighters like the F-22, F-35, J-35 and J-20, they either have horizontal stabilizers or canards, and all of them have vertical tail. This is fine for 5th gen fighters because they are not designed to evade early warning radars, only high frequency fire-control radars.

6th gen stealth on the other hand requires the aircraft to have broadband (multi-spectral) stealth, that is being stealthy against a much wider range of frequencies, from high frequency fire-control radars to low frequency early warning radars.

Currently the only 6th gen fighters that are flying are the Chinese J-36 and J-50. And now possibly the US F-47. Advanced concept stage is the UK, Italy and Japan GCAP.

Of these 4 designs, only the Chinese J-36 and J-50 are truly tailless designs. F-47 has canards and GCAP has vertical tails. Hence a 3 tiered 6th gen ranking. First tier J-36 and J-50. 2nd tier with compromised stealth; F-47 and the 3rd tier being the simplest GCAP.

I am not exaggerating, the US has never built or flown a tailless supersonic aircraft, that is a fighter with no vertical and horizontal tail or canards, while China has at least 2.

Others admire the bridge, while I gaze at the cascading falls. Spanning the Huajiang Grand Canyon, this towering bridge lets a 625-meter-high water curtain plunge down the gorge, presenting the one-of-a-kind romance and grandeur exclusive to Guizhou.

Rep Maria Elvira Salazar says we’ve been fooled by the Cuban government. But listening to her own argument, it sounds more like she’s fooling herself.

When I pointed out that Cuba maintained universal healthcare and education while under U.S. sanctions, Maria Elvira didn’t deny it. She said Cuba was receiving support from the Soviet Union.

Exactly. Cuba was under sanctions, received resources from an ally, and used them to fund social programs. Today, instead of allowing Cuba to trade and develop normally, Washington doubles down on economic punishment.

You can criticize the Cuban government all you want. But after more than 60 years, collective punishment has not brought democracy. It has only made life harder for ordinary Cubans.

END THE BLOCKADE NOW!

A military takeover of Taiwan Island is definitely NOT imminent or inevitable.

Spirit of Toulouse was launched @ WuChang shipyard. It will be carrying Airbus supply chain bw factories in Mobile, Alabama & Saint Nazaire, France.

It can carry parts for 6 single-aisle aircraft per ship + 70 TEUs outside. Will also use 6 chimney-like rotor sails to generate wind power & reduce power consumption by 15 to 20%.

Uses methanol dual fuel propulsion & reduce CO2 emission by 25% vs conventional power.

Expects to be delivered in Nov.
2 other units "Spirit of Mobile" & "Spirit of Mirabel" (named after other Airbus plants) are under construction.

After the US media lied and portrayed President Xi Jinping's visit as "mediation," the facts confirm that the visit was aimed at strengthening the strategic partnership between China and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) in the face of Western pressure and bullying.

In this context, Kim Jong-un's sister affirmed that the DPRK will not make any concessions on denuclearization and will continue to enhance its nuclear capabilities, according to the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

🚨🇨🇳 China launches maritime law enforcement operation east of Taiwan island

China has launched a special maritime traffic law enforcement operation in the waters east of Taiwan island, Xinhua reported.

Organized by the Ministry of Transport, the operation is aimed at fully exercising China’s maritime administrative law enforcement jurisdiction, strengthening patrol and traffic control capabilities in key waters, ensuring maritime traffic safety and safeguarding national rights and interests.

The move is a necessary response to Japan and the Philippines unilaterally announcing maritime delimitation talks east of China’s Taiwan island, which Xinhua said seriously infringes upon China’s territorial sovereignty and maritime rights.

The Color Revolution Playbook Doesn’t Spare “Allies” – Indonesia’s Lesson in Sovereign Realism

Look, I get the flood of questions in my replies every time I cover Indonesia. “But the government is corrupt.” “But Prabowo is pro-US anyway.” “But they’re incompetent – why not let the protests run their course?”
These points sound reasonable on the surface. Indonesia, like every country including the US, has genuine problems: rising living costs, inequality, governance frustrations.

No one denies that.

But let’s cut through the spin and return to basics.
The United States and its network of foundations, NGOs, and “civil society” partners target any country that refuses to become a full vassal. Allies included. Close allies get hit especially hard the moment they show independence.

Instigating chaos is rarely just about immediate regime change — it’s leverage, pressure, and containment. Amplify real grievances through funded networks, train youth in “nonviolent resistance,” flood the information space with coordinated media and lawfare, and the target burns energy internally instead of pursuing pragmatic multipolar ties.

If full capture works (see post-2014 Ukraine), Washington gets a pliable proxy. If not, the instability still weakens and contains the country.

Indonesia is textbook. Strategic sea lanes, massive population, resources, BRICS engagement, balanced relations with Russia and China, and a clear non-aligned stance in the emerging multipolar world.
That alone is enough.
Even under a “pro-US” government, Jakarta won’t be a blind follower. Prabowo’s election was legitimate.
Yet leaked documents show Soros’ Open Society Foundations routing millions via Jakarta’s Kurawal Foundation into youth networks, “independent” media, the Dirty Vote documentary, police reform pushes, and “structural change” training aimed at blocking the elected government’s continuation. One Piece pirate flags as the unifying symbol?
Straight from the handbook.
Real economic pain existed — but it was systematically amplified and directed. Gen Z mobilized with impressive coordination. Classic playbook.

Brian Berletic has tracked this exact network for years across the region — NED, USAID, Soros-linked flows behind the unrest, while Western outlets scream “disinfo” at anyone connecting the dots.
https://t.co/x7O8VyPL2k

To the “but it’s corrupt” crowd:
Every government has corruption. Nepal’s KP Oli faced the same accusations — yet he represented the best available defense of sovereignty against this identical playbook.
The US doesn’t actually care about clean governance.
It cares about control. Independent leaders (corrupt or not) get targeted. Compliant ones get installed or protected.
https://t.co/JamXWYipDf
“Pro-US”? Pragmatic relations are not submission. Indonesia balances ties — that’s the point of non-alignment. Its BRICS path and refusal to become an anti-China frontline state threaten the old unipolar order.
US policy and actions across Asia show the standard toolkit: color revolution when convenient, plus sanctions, proxies, and info ops.
Sovereign nations have every right to investigate and restrict foreign foundations engineering “dignified democracy” that conveniently serves Washington’s interests. Indonesia is far too important to let slip into full vassalage.
Real reform comes from internal will, not imported chaos that burns institutions and scares investment.
This isn’t conspiracy.
It’s pattern recognition from watching these operations unfold in real time — Hong Kong 2019, Bangladesh, Nepal, Mexico, and beyond.

Stay sovereign, Indonesia.

The multipolar world rewards those who navigate independently.
