NATO Chief Calls China's Spy Program a 'Global Security' Threat
NATO Chief Calls , China's Spy Program , a 'Global Security' Threat.
On February 8, NATO General Secretary Jens Stoltenberg
warned that China's surveillance flight program
represents a threat to global security.
.
Fox News reports that the warning was issued after United States intelligence found that China's spy balloons had traveled over five continents.
Stoltenberg made the statement while responding
to questions during a press conference
with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
.
Earlier on February 8, the Pentagon stated that the U.S.
had confirmed Chinese surveillance craft over
Europe, North America, South America and across Asia.
.
According to Stoltenberg, China's surveillance
program highlights the need for
international security organizations like NATO.

The Chinese balloon over the United States
confirms a pattern of Chinese behavior,
where we see China over the last years
has invested heavily in new military
capabilities, including different types
of surveillance and intelligence platforms, Jens Stoltenberg, NATO General Secretary, via Fox News.

And we’ve also seen increased Chinese
intelligence activities in Europe — again,
different platforms. They use satellites,
they use cyber, and, as we’ve seen
over the United States, also balloons, Jens Stoltenberg, NATO General Secretary, via Fox News.
Since shooting down a surveillance balloon off the coast of South Carolina, U.S.-China relations have soured, with Beijing rejecting a request to speak with Washington.
Again, it demonstrates why
for the Department of Defense
that China remains the pacing
challenge and something that will
continue to stay focused on, Air Force Brig.

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding Ukraine's potential membership in the military alliance, stating that its accession is contingent on the outcome of its ongoing conflict with Russia. In an interview with CBS News on Sunday, Stoltenberg, who is set to step down in October, clarified that there is no definitive timeline for Ukraine’s NATO membership, even suggesting it might not occur within the next decade. Stoltenberg was questioned about his preference for Ukraine to join NATO by 2034 rather than within the next few years. He responded, “Well, no one has said exactly 10 years but it’s obvious that it is a very serious issue to bring in Ukraine,” emphasising the complexity of integrating a nation currently embroiled in war. He added, “The most important thing for NATO now is to step up our support to Ukraine to ensure that Ukraine prevails. That’s a precondition for any future membership for Ukraine.”

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has proposed a NATO-style "Abraham Alliance" for the Middle East, aimed at confronting Iran's regional influence. This alliance would include Israel's existing peace partners and potential future allies. The idea stems from the recent collaborative defense against Iran's missile attack on Israel. Netanyahu envisions this as an extension of the Abraham Accords, potentially reshaping regional security dynamics.

After careful consideration,

weapons manufacturing, will
not be sponsors of SXSW 2025, SXSW statement, via Fox News.

We appreciated the opportunity
to join South by Southwest in 2024.
With U.S. Army Futures Command
headquartered in Austin, we value
any opportunity to join with our
community to ignite discovery

The Army will continue to
seek opportunities to meet
technology innovators and
leaders, explore new ideas
and insights, and create dynamic
industry partnerships because
tomorrow is worth protecting. , Lt. Col. Jamie Dobson, U.S. Army Futures Command Spokesperson, via Fox News Digital.
Bands and artists participating in the boycott,
including Squirrel Flower, Scowl and Okay Shalom,
explained why they protested the 2024 festival. .
There are many ways SXSW is harmful
to working musicians, but I am pulling
out specifically because of the fact
that SXSW is platforming defense
contractors including Raytheon
subsidiaries as well as the U.S. Army,

Genocide profiteers like Raytheon
supply weapons to the IDF, paid for

The U.S. Department of Defense ran a secret psychological operation on social media for over a year, aimed at undermining Chinese-made COVID-19 vaccines and medical supplies. Utilizing fake accounts, it questioned the efficacy and religious permissibility of China's vaccines across multiple countries. While some U.S. officials objected, the controversial campaign continued through both Trump and Biden administrations before ending in mid-2021.

A 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck off southern Peru's coast, 600 km south of Lima. The shallow quake, felt as far as the capital, caused strong shaking in nearby towns. Initially, tsunami warnings were issued but later lifted. Some infrastructure damage was reported, including stone slides on a highway. The Peruvian government is monitoring the situation. The quake occurred due to Peru's location on the boundary of the South American and Nazca tectonic plates, part of the Pacific Ring of Fire.
