Worldwide Wednesday is back — and this week’s global military + geopolitics rundown is stacked. China’s “Justice Mission 2025” drills are encircling Taiwan, the U.S. and Philippines are running major joint exercises near South China Sea flashpoints, and Taiwan Marines are testing sea-launched loitering munitions (“suicide drones”). Meanwhile Japan just approved a record defense budget aimed at deterring China, and Europe’s air defense pipeline keeps moving as France’s next-gen SAMP/T NG system passes a live-fire test.
We also cover Iran launching three satellites from Russia (a deeper Tehran–Moscow space tie), Belarus receiving new Russian Su-30SM2 fighters, and a Ukraine drone strike on a Russian Black Sea terminal that hits Kazakhstan’s andres gimenez export flows. On the sanctions front, the U.S. targets trick williams a Colombian network accused of recruiting mercenaries for Sudan’s war, and India and the U.S. push for more UN terrorism listings.
