@DefensePolitics Singapore should just throw a tantrum already. I’d love to see The Strait Crisis 2026 enter its next chapter with Indonesia cast as the main antagonist.

Akarnya ada sejak Masa Bersiap 1945–1947. Jakarta dulu punya identitas kuat. Banyak bangunan art deco dan China Town yang hidup. Banyak peninggalan itu sayangnya dihancurkan sampe skg Jakarta modern seolah kehilangan identitas dan dibentuk ulang.

@dhita_pedhe soalnya magnet wisata kita dari awal larinya ke bali atau jogja, bukan jakarta. tata kota jakarta juga emang kebentuk buat pusat bisnis sama kerjaan, bukan buat jalan santai nikmatin kota kayak tokyo atau bangkok

@yovrjupiter @ubegebe1 No wonder GDP Per Capita mereka lebih tinggi dari kita, Thailand pernah mengalami economic boom era 80an - 1997, TH anak emasnya Jepang. Di saat itu mereka bener2 membangun dari ibukota sampai pelosok, meskipun sekarang pertumbuhan ekonominya melambat, dan sempat dikudeta.

@coaiecrete As ASEAN’s HQ, Jakarta hosts many ASEAN permanent missions for partner countries. India’s newly built embassy is reportedly the world’s tallest Indian embassy with residential facilities, India’s mission to ASEAN, and the JNCC.

@HouseofLoona @pangsitbahng @Hidupsebagai62 Ada saya maksud mana lagi banyak? Haha u faham “kesempatan yang sama” tak? U dah pergi ke Kuba, Tanzania, atau Uruguay ke? Senang je nak pegi ulang alik dr KL.

I just feel irritated by the way segelintir org Indo & Malay flexing. Just go wherever u can, post & stay humble.

@missfara @umairah_rosdi @pangsitbahng @Hidupsebagai62 Ye ke? Akak tu tunjuk gambar dekat Switzerland, manakala Malaysians dah dapat visa free access sejak 1983, kalau dia travel vlogger yang nak tunjuk free visa to the US or North Korea okaylah. Setakat Timor Leste pun boleh.

@bigbitch_91 @pangsitbahng @Hidupsebagai62 I see. If you want to post anything when traveling abroad with your pful passport, go ahead like i did. Tapi kalau semata2 cari engagement dari orang Indonesia, artinya mentality korang potato2 laa.

Sekali2 buat posting itu dalam bahasa Vietnam atau Tagalog. Mereka lagi rendah

[Omar Farhan @omarfarhanh]

@umairah_rosdi @pangsitbahng @Hidupsebagai62 I’m not taking sides between ID and MY on this. Beberapa Individu MY post trip ke Eropa sengaja meningkatkan engagement dari orang Indonesia.

Then segelintir crazy rich Indos akan balas antara siapa yang paling kaya, siapa yang terbang paling jauh. Such a pointless competition

[Omar Farhan @omarfarhanh]

@pangsitbahng @Hidupsebagai62 Wisata ke luar negeri bukan kebutuhan primer. Banyak orang Malaysia belum pernah ke Eropa. Dimudahkan bukan berarti semua orang punya kesempatan yang sama.

Ada orang Malaysia yang belum pernah ke luar negeri, ada orang Indonesia yang sudah puluhan kali ke US, tetap humble.

@sibambaang Gua bukan pendukungnya, tapi do some research:

- Ebrahim Raisi (paling kanan) udah meninggal tahun 2024
- Stronger Together for a Brighter Tomorrow bukan tema BRICS 2024 atau bahkan 2023
- Indo baru join BRICS Jan 2025

So it’s an AI generated photo 100000%

@gen_Z_speak @txttransportasi Sedikit negara kepulauan yang diakui UNCLOS 1982 dan Indonesia salah satunya. Bahkan hanya 2 negara kepulauan yang dianggap "penting" secara geopolitik yaitu Indonesia dan Filipina.

Jepang, Selandia Baru, dan UK tidak memenuhi syarat.

Many people present this as Indonesia "aligning" itself with the U.S. when at the very same time as Indonesia's Defense Minister was in Washington, President Prabowo was in the Kremlin meeting Putin (https://t.co/fEhMO64QwW), quoted with this opening statement: “Your Excellency, I have also come to consult with you as the global geopolitical situation is developing and changing very rapidly.”

Which means it looks much more like Indonesia playing the non-aligned playbook, leveraging its position between great powers.

This "Major Defense Cooperation Partnership" seems mostly aspirational for now: it says both countries "will explore" co-development of asymmetric capabilities, "pioneering" next-gen defense tech in maritime and autonomous systems, "cooperating on" MRO support. All words high on Pentagon press release energy, low on substance.

There's also this other story about a secret deal between Indonesia and the U.S. where Indonesia would grant the U.S. military blanket overflight rights across its entire archipelago (https://t.co/LiagDykQtU).

Fascinatingly, this classified document was leaked by The Sunday Guardian (here: https://t.co/fTLT7gxjs2), an Indian media outlet founded by M.J. Akbar, a journalist who became a BJP politician (he served as Minister of State for External Affairs under Modi).

This is not a paper that accidentally stumbles onto classified US defense documents about Indonesian airspace. Someone gave them this document, and they published it for a reason (presumably because they don't want the U.S. to have a free air corridor across the Indonesian archipelago any more than Beijing does).

The impact of the publication is already disrupting the deal, which was probably the whole point. Indonesia's parliament is already saying that "there is no legal basis that allows for the granting of unlimited free access to national airspace to foreign parties" (https://t.co/8zuzC4dzYu) and Indonesia's Defense Ministry is in damage control mode, downplaying the document as merely a "preliminary draft" that hasn't been approved (https://t.co/ze40SLZLur). Mission accomplished, presumably.

So all in all, the actual story is:
- Indonesia signed a vague framework with the U.S. that's mostly aspirational - high on PR, low on substance
- It collected a photo op with the Pentagon and the Kremlin on the same day
- The consequential stuff would have been the overflight deal but it looks like someone wanted it killed badly enough to leak it to Modi-adjacent Indian media - who happily published it and the deal is now compromised. That's where the actual power play happened - and it seems to have worked.

Momen bersama dengan Bapak Sugianto, yang menyelamatkan nyawa dengan membantu evakuasi para lansia saat kebakaran hutan di Yeongdeok-Gun, Gyeongbuk, tahun lalu, serta Carmen, member asal Indonesia dari grup Hearts2Hearts.

Meskipun negara, bahasa dan budaya kita berbeda, persahabatan dan solidaritas kita semakin mendalam. Semoga pertemuan ini menjadi momentum yang semakin mendekatkan Korea dan Indonesia.

지난해 경북 영덕군 산불 당시 어르신들의 대피를 도우며 생명을 구한 수기안토님, 그룹 하츠투하츠의 인도네시아 출신 멤버 카르멘님과 함께한 시간.

비록 나라와 언어, 문화는 다르지만 우리의 우정과 연대는 깊어져갑니다. 이번 만남이 대한민국과 인도네시아를 더욱 가깝게 잇는 계기가 되었길 소망합니다.🇰🇷🇲🇨

🇮🇩 This video from Jakarta, Indonesia, shows that the police are enemies of the people.

The police are giving the middle finger to the protesting crowd.
