【中字】Defending Taiwan: advice from former US Foreign Area Officer
Taiwan is at war. To scratch beneath the surface, the war has been long raging across many domains: legal, political, diplomatic, psychological, cyber, media, and so on.
In an exclusive interview with Guermantes Lailari, a retired US Air Force Foreign Area Officer specializing in strategy, counterterrorism and missile defense who used to be a Taiwan fellow in 2022. Harnessing his raft of research and more than 30 published articles on Taiwan and China, he gives Taiwan how-to advice upon building its military and civil readiness for deterring the next hot war.
With his on-the-ground research of Taiwan married with his previous first-hand experience as a US military attache to the U.S. Embassy in Israel as well as his combined twenty years living in North Africa, the Middle East and Europe, he lucidly imparts how Taiwan and its like-mined allies and friends can act now against the ever-accelerating global security reshuffle—before it’s too late.
台灣早已處在戰爭了，受台灣外交部贊助駐台的台灣學者是前美軍中校/前美軍外交官 Guermantes Lailari說道。
他的專業是策略、反恐跟飛彈防禦，以14年中東與北非與6年歐洲資歷、發表超過30篇關於台灣與中共關係的文章，在台灣如何有效嚇阻中共進犯上提供了他研究的建言。曾任駐以色列美國大使館之武官的他，在Taiwan News專訪中以多元案例分析台灣可以如何壯大整體國防實力、遇到潛在入侵情境該如何應對、並以數據戳破中共的文攻武嚇，提供更清晰的情勢解讀。

I Dated a Ladyboy in Bangkok, Thailand (Chinni) ????????
In Thailand, the term ladyboy is commonly used to refer to transgender women or individuals who were assigned male at birth but identify and live as women. Thailand is known for its relatively accepting and tolerant attitude toward gender diversity, and many transgender individuals in the country have a visible presence in society. Today, I'll be going on a date with Chinni, a proud ladyboy in Bangkok as I try to learn more about her and her experiences of being a ladyboy in the country over huskies, a Muay Thai session and a lovely dinner date. But most importantly, if I'll score another date with her in the future.

US Defense Leaders Testify on Indo-Pacific Region to House Committee | Mar 20, 2024.
Defense Leaders Address House Committee on Indo-Pacific Region | DOD Strengthens Indo-Pacific Regional Ties. Defense leaders discuss security challenges in the Indo-Pacific region at a hearing of the House Armed Services Committee. Testifying are: Ely S. Ratner, the Defense Department’s assistant secretary for Indo-Pacific security affairs; Navy Adm. John C. Aquilino, commander of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command; and Army Gen. Paul LaCamera, commander of United Nations Command, Republic of Korea-U.S. Combined Forces Command, and U.S. Forces Korea.
DOD Strengthens Indo-Pacific Regional Ties
March 20, 2024 | By David Vergun
China continues to present the most comprehensive and serious challenge to U.S. national security, said Ely S. Ratner, assistant secretary of defense for Indo-Pacific security affairs.
That's because China remains the only country with the will and, increasingly, the capability to dominate the Indo-Pacific region and displace the United States, Ratner said today in testimony before the House Subcommittee on Indo-Pacific.
Today, the PRC is pursuing its revisionist goals with increasingly coercive activities in the Taiwan Strait the South and East China seas along the Line of Actual Control with India and beyond, he said.
But conflict in the Indo-Pacific region is neither imminent nor inevitable, and the Defense Department is doing more than ever to keep it that way with the help of U.S. allies and partners, Ratner said. Over the past year, that work has included:
DOD announcing bilateral agreements with Australia, India and Japan to co-produce or acquire advanced capabilities to strengthen deterrence across the region;
DOD continuing to implement major defense initiatives with Japan, South Korea, the Philippines and Australia;
DOD concluding a bilateral Defense Cooperation Agreement with Papua New Guinea;
The United States extending economic assistance that will last for the next 20 years for the Compacts of Free Association with three, key Pacific Island partners: Micronesia, Palau and the Marshall Islands;
The U.S., Japan and South Korea agreeing to a multiyear, trilateral exercise plan, as well as a real-time data-sharing mechanism for warning of North Korean missiles;
DOD working to integrate Australia and Japan into its force posture initiatives;
DOD expanding bilateral training with Thailand and Indonesia to feature exercises across the region;
DOD investing in the next generation of regional defense leaders with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
Navy Adm. John Aquilino, commander of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, who also testified, said that that conflict with China is not imminent or inevitable.
But our potential adversaries have become increasingly aggressive and emboldened. The PRC's unprecedented military buildup and a campaign of coercive actions continue to destabilize the region, and they challenge the values and institutions that support a free and open Indo-Pacific, he said.
Aquilino said the department must build on the Indo-Pacific progress it has achieved over the last few years, including bolstering Guam's defense system and working to improve bilateral and multilateral partnerships.
Army Gen. Paul J. LaCamera, commander of United Nations Command/Combined Forces Command/U.S. Forces Korea, testified that within the last year, North Korea has continued developing its military capabilities — including solid-fuel ballistic missile technology — which violate sanctions.
He said North Korean missile systems pose a threat to countries worldwide.
In addition, North Korea has provided military support to Russia, assisting in Vladimir Putin's illegal and indefensible invasion of Ukraine, LaCamera said.
The U.S.-South Korea alliance has continued to adapt to meet the evolving challenges, he said. In April, the two countries signed the Washington Declaration, which reaffirms their commitment to mutual defense.
In July, South Korea and the U.S. also had their first meeting of the Nuclear Consultative Group with the aim of strengthening deterrence and strategic planning to manage the North Korean threat, he said.
LaCamera also said there have been multiple, strategic-asset deployments to South Korea, including a nuclear ballistic-missile submarine and the first B-52 bomber landing in the last 40 years.

If There's A World War 3, It'll Start Here ???????????????? (#148)
If you were to travel to this small part of the world, a sea filled mostly with reefs and rocks, you'd unknowingly have a front row seat to the world's next great conflict. The Philippines have at various times been in conflict with both the United States and China, but they're starting to side with one over the other. There's some big reasons for that.
I traveled to Subic Bay, a former US naval base located on the west coast of Luzon, to see what the story was. Along the way I'd also travel down the Bataan peninsula, a place where the last World War took place. Maybe there was something we could all learn.

I Met a Real Life Cannibal in India
Grab your 'Just Go' Push Pin Map Bundle!
Hi Friends! I have spent the better part of the last decade trying to meet a real-life cannibal, and I finally have completed my goal here in Varanasi, India. For real! His name is Baba and he is an Aghori man who lives on the banks of the Ganges River - the site where more than 300 bodies are cremated every day and their ashes are thrown into the river. Varanasi is the most spiritual place in India, and for Hindus, it's the holiest place to have their bodies burned.
Baba explained to me the various reasons why he eats humans (spoiler alert: he said the heart is the best part of the body) - and what I discovered will leave you speechless.
Thank you Shubham for taking me around Varanasi. If you need a guide to India, contact him!

Economics Lecture by Dr Tan Kee Wee: How Will This World War 3 End?
How Will This World War 3 End?
No one wants to say it. But we are in the middle of World War 3.
A world war is not defined by armed conflicts alone, like the one which started in Ukraine and then moving on to Gaza. There are other aspects of a world war. It started a few years ago with solar panel tariffs on China. Now it’s going to be tariffs on Chinese EV cars.
Attend this talk and find out how this World War 3 will end.”

Solo In Pakistan's Dodgiest Hood ????????
????????I have always wanted to travel to mysterious Kafiristan which is nestled in a couple of small valleys in the north of Pakistan. However to reach the northern mountains I would first need to pass through Balochistan, a region of the country that had been fought over for millennia but never quite conquered. In fact just the day before i arrived Iran bombed it. So let's just say, things didn't quite go as expected when I met the Pakistani military...Join me as we cruise the streets of Quetta.
Follow @SimonWilson12 and @BackpackerBen for their updates from Pakistan.
Edit: it seems Alexander the Great didn’t go through the Bolan Pass as I thought ???? Ffs!
