Today marks the 73rd anniversary of the Korean War Armistice Agreement. The Armistice is not a peace treaty, but for 73 years it has provided the framework that has helped preserve peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula.
On Friday evening, my father-in-law Pastor Ezra Jin was arrested by Chinese government officials, along with more than 20 other pastors and church workers across 7 cities in the most extensive attack on a Chinese church in 4 decades. I have been quiet here mostly because helping to manage the situation has been overwhelming. I will share thoughts soon, but for now I just wanted to say thank you to @SecRubio for the support.
De investering van 3,5% in defensie is keihard nodig om onze krijgsmacht te moderniseren en sterk te staan tegen de toenemende dreiging vanuit Rusland.
Onze minister van Defensie @rubenbrekelmans legt uit waarom. 👇
The Chinese are getting richer while our children get sicker. We’re putting an end to that.
We are targeting illegal Chinese vapes and we will stop them from poisoning our children. Just last week, I stood with @AGPamBondi after law enforcement seized 50 truckloads of illegal vapes from a Chicago-area warehouse — 90% of them from China.
@ChrisLandauUSA That Bugeo-guk spot is famous, but it’s run by a hardcore left liberal who bullies the conservative owner next door. 🥲 Having worked in that district, I’d rather recommend Arirang, a Korean BBQ place run by a patriotic Korean. 🇰🇷 https://t.co/SZ87Jwbmx4
🚨PALMER LUCKEY: "Taiwan is not the end state for China. All the people who think this fight over Taiwan is the real fight are missing the point. China believes that the Philippines is their territory. They believe that Korea is their territory. They also believe that North Korea is their territory but they like them as a buffer state with South Korea but that would change the moment they could actually capture South Korea.
They even think that most of Japan belongs to them. They think that it's theirs. They've tried over and over for 1000s of years and even today, even publicly, they won't say they own all of Japan but they do maintain they own part of Japan.
It is really dangerous to let people with millennia long ambitions of ruling those areas go unchecked. Because even if you don't give a shit about Taiwan, which you should because our entire economy runs on chips from them and until we figure out how to make them better or as good ourselves we have to keep them around, there's a lot of reasons to make sure we're spooking China on Day 8, Day 80, Day 800."
In addition to the first captured soldiers from North Korea, there will undoubtedly be more. It’s only a matter of time before our troops manage to capture others. There should be no doubt left in the world that the Russian army is dependent on military assistance from North Korea.
Putin started three years ago with ultimatums to NATO and attempts to rewrite history, but now he cannot manage without military support from Pyongyang.
Ukraine is ready to hand over Kim Jong Un’s soldiers to him if he can organize their exchange for our warriors who are being held captive in Russia.
For those North Korean soldiers who do not wish to return, there may be other options available. In particular, those who express a desire to bring peace closer by spreading the truth about this war in Korean will be given that opportunity.

A win for Tik Tok is a win for China.
“It is now the first peer-reviewed, data-driven study to establish that TikTok is actively manipulating perceptions of China and the Chinese Communist Party through algorithmic bias.”

Japan is evacuating 18 South Koreans from Israel using its military aircraft, a gesture of goodwill that appears to reciprocate Seoul’s rescue flight last week to bring back Japanese alongside its citizens.

From Russia’s war on Ukraine to Hamas’ terrorist attacks on Israel.
These crises, however different, call on Europe and America to take a stand – and stand together.
