This Day in History: The United Nations Is Born

This Day in History: The United Nations Is Born.

October 24, 1945.

An idea formulated in response to the conflict during World War II, the U.N.

Became a reality just months after the war's conclusion.

The U.N.

Declaration was drafted by the U.S., Great Britain and the former Soviet Union.

By 1942, it had been signed by 26 nations.

The U.N.

Charter was presided over by Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin.

The aims of the organization included maintaining treaties , "to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights," "to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war" and "to promote social progress.".

Peace became the primary focus of the early U.N.

With Cold War tensions just on the horizon, this proved to be a complicated endeavor.

Today, the United Nations is comprised of 193 nations

China Blames Philippines For Ship Collision In South China Sea, Manila Denies The Accusation

A significant maritime incident occurred on Monday, intensifying tensions between China and the Philippines. A collision between a Chinese Coast Guard vessel and a Philippine navy boat has led to conflicting narratives from the two nations, highlighting the ongoing territorial disputes in the region. The collision took place as the Philippine naval vessel attempted a resupply run to the BRP Sierra Madre, an antiquated tank landing vessel grounded intentionally on the Second Thomas Shoal since 1999. This vessel, originally constructed for the US Navy during World War II, now serves as a critical outpost for the Philippine military. #SouthChinaSea #MaritimeDispute #Philippines #China #ShipCollision #TerritorialConflict #BRPSierraMadre #SecondThomasShoal #CoastGuard #Navy #Geopolitics #RegionalTensions #InternationalRelations #FreedomOfNavigation #SouthEastAsia ~PR.152~ED.194~GR.125~HT.96~

Russia's Su-57 'Felon': The Stealth Fighter Jet Redefining Aerial Warfare and Dominating Skies

The Su-57 'Felon' is arguably the only fighter jet developed by the Russian Federation. For the 34 years of its existence (since the collapse of the USSR), the Russian Federation has struggled to create all-new fighter jets. For decades, Russia has been able to upgrade and rebrand old Soviet platforms continuously—largely slapping upgrades and bigger designation numbers on its inherited Soviet models. But how much longer can this continue? Su-57 is a fifth-generation Russian multi-functional fighter jet designed to destroy all kinds of air, surface, and surface targets. #Su57 #Felon #RussianFighterJet #StealthTechnology #AerialWarfare #MilitaryInnovation #FifthGenerationFighter #AirSuperiority #ModernWarfare #CuttingEdgeTech #Aviation #Defense #RadarEvasion #CombatAircraft #NextGenFighter
