New head shell reported that Boeing’s newest multi-role fighter, the F-15EX, costing hundreds of millions of dollars, was delivered to the U.S. Air Force for its first test flight, climbing at a nearly vertical steep angle with the so-called “Vikingtakeoff,” quickly reaching altitude and completing a flight of about 90 minutes. The first eight F-15EX aircraft will be deployed at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida, and two of the aircraft will be delivered in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021.
The test F15EXs made their first flight at St. Louis Lambert International Airport in Missouri on local Time on the 2nd, piloted by pilot Matt Giese. The flight lasted about 90 minutes, during which the aircraft’s electronics and systems were tested and the “Viking takeoff” – a vertical climb after liftoff – was demonstrated, with stunning results.

According to Boeing’s announcement, the F-15EX has a digital cockpit, an Advanced Core Processor II mission computer system, new electronic warfare systems, and a modern active electronically scanned array radar.
Sina.com reported in January that the F-15E Strike Eagle fighter-bomber, with its huge combat radius and robust payload capability, is the most suitable platform to mount the B61-12 nuclear bomb, which is also known as the deadliest nuclear bomb and will be a great deterrent to the Chinese Communist Party.
The U.S. Department of Defense announced last year (2020) that it would purchase eight of the latest F-15EX, and after that the purchase plan is likely to be as many as 144, with the entire procurement plan budget looking up to $23 billion.
U.S. Strategic Command: China-Russia nuclear war on the horizon
As the United States prepares to withdraw from the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, now the only treaty controlling nuclear armaments, a rare disclosure of the world’s top military power’s true undercard – its nuclear weapons arsenal!
The commander of U.S. Strategic Command recently warned that a nuclear war between the United States and Russia and China is imminent and that the United States needs new ways to stop Communist China and Russia from using their newly acquired strategic weapons.
In an article published in the Journal of the U.S. Naval Academy, four-star Admiral Charles Richard noted that a regional crisis with China and Russia could quickly escalate into a conflict involving nuclear weapons if they perceive losses as a threat to their regimes or nations, according to the Washington Times.
He urged the Pentagon to shift its primary scenario to a “very high probability of nuclear war. He argued that the U.S. government and military leaders should properly understand the new dangers of nuclear conflict and develop new concepts of deterrence and (if necessary) nuclear war strategy.
The United States must think beyond what it is accustomed to in order to develop responses to contingencies, General Richard said. In recent years, China and Russia have invested in nuclear and strategic capabilities with the goal of limiting U.S. operations, including strategic deployments in U.S. allies.
This would be the first time in U.S. history that the United States would have to face two nuclear-capable competitors,” he said. We assume that strategic deterrence will continue in the future, but as the environment changes, so will the situation, and we need to be prepared to address cross-territory threats to ensure the security of the United States and our allies.” It would be wise for the entire Department of Defense to develop a unified strategy to establish a deterrence approach to address Russian and Chinese aggression and to incorporate this thinking into professional military Education as early as possible. Strategic Command has already begun to help with this by rethinking the threat and revising the “Risk of Failure of Strategic Deterrence” assessment. The Pentagon needs to improve its acquisition of new strategic weapons and systems and strengthen command and control systems and cyber capabilities.
China’s Human Rights Woes Are Rampant, 180 Groups Worldwide Call for Boycott of Beijing Winter Olympics
On February 3, some 180 human rights groups around the world issued an open letter attacking the Chinese Communist Party’s human rights abuses in Xinjiang, Tibet and Hong Kong, and calling on countries around the world to boycott the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
A coalition of 180 human rights groups, including the World Uighur Congress and the International Tibetan Network, issued a joint open letter on Wednesday, AFP reported. In the letter, they noted that China is the host of the 2022 Winter Olympics, but that the Chinese Communist government has a long history of human rights abuses. In recent years, the Communist Party has built concentration camps in Xinjiang and persecuted Uighurs; in Tibet, it has suppressed Tibetan Buddhism and persecuted religious Tibetans; and in Hong Kong, it has pushed through a Hong Kong version of the National Security Law and suppressed and persecuted Hong Kong protesters who are fighting for democracy and freedom. The international community has widely condemned and criticized the CCP’s human rights abuses, but instead of improving the human rights situation in China, the CCP has intensified its persecution of the Chinese people after gaining the right to host the Winter Olympics in 2015.
In light of the CCP’s human rights abuses, a coalition of human rights groups is calling on leaders around the world to boycott the Beijing Winter Olympics to ensure that the sporting event “will not be used to fuel the Chinese government’s egregious human rights abuses and repression of dissidents.
British Senate Passes Proposal to Review Chinese Communist genocide
The U.S. government has qualified the Chinese Communist Party as having committed genocide in Xinjiang, and the U.K. has accelerated the process. The British Parliament has urged the government to reconsider its trade agreement with Beijing, and the Senate has passed an amendment to the Trade Bill that would require a preliminary court ruling on whether the Chinese Communist Party committed genocide. The House of Representatives will vote on the matter anew.
On Feb. 2, the House amendment to the Trade Bill returned to the Senate. The amendment requires the British government to consider the human rights situation, the existence of genocide, and environmental and welfare standards of the other party when signing trade agreements with other countries.
According to the official website of the British Parliament, senators voted to pass four amendments to the bill that day, with the provisions on human rights and genocide both passing with high votes.
One of the amendments requires the government to determine whether a partner signing a trade agreement has committed Crimes Against Humanity and whether the agreement violates British human rights. The provision passed by a vote of 327 to 229.
Another amendment clause, which allows the Supreme Court to make a preliminary ruling to determine whether a government signatory to a trade agreement has committed genocide, was reported to Parliament. The clause was approved by a large margin, 359 to 188.
The Guardian reports that after passing the Senate, the amendment will return to the House for another vote next week. Some controversial bills will need to be amended and voted on repeatedly in both chambers before a common version can be reconciled.
Hong Kong’s police chief blurts out: police need to “know the law and break it”
A few days ago, Hong Kong Police Commissioner Tang Ping-keung said at a press conference that police officers would be “more guilty” of breaking the law, and then blurted out the shocking statement that “as police officers, they need to know the law and break it”. Although he later argued that “a slip of the tongue”, but the matter has become a laughing stock for Hong Kong people.

Forty percent of those arrested in these cases were students.
In terms of Hong Kong’s national security law, 97 people have been arrested since the official implementation of this bill, involving charges such as secession, subversion of state power, collusion with foreign forces and publishing seditious texts.
When asked at the press conference about crimes involving police officers in Hong Kong last year, Deng Bingqiang replied that 45 police officers were arrested in criminal cases last year, an increase of nearly 90 percent compared to 24 cases in 2019. He claimed that police officers who break the law will be “more guilty”, but then suddenly blurted out that “as a police officer, it is even more necessary to know the law and break it”.
Many Hong Kong netizens took to online communities to poke fun at Deng’s slip of the tongue: “Finally, he admits it.” “A slip of the tongue has come out of his heart.” “You also know that Hong Kong’s black police know the law and break it.”

Kim Jong-un executes major for offering sexual favors to bodyguard
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has reportedly executed another official, after four high-ranking officials and two pimps were shot dead for their involvement in a prostitution organization. In addition, Kim Jong-un ordered the Security Command to be split into four departments in order to check and balance each other.
The World Journal, citing the Chosun Ilbo, reported that the political commissar of the North Korean Security Command, Admiral Kim Sung-deok, was dismissed from his post and sent to a political prison after an investigation for accepting bribes and sexual favors from a female major surnamed Kim, who was in charge of the finance department of the command.
According to sources, Kim Jong-un has taken the opportunity to split the security command into four departments in order to check and balance the command and strengthen its security function, so as to achieve the purpose of mutual surveillance and control.
According to the report, the Guard Command is fully responsible for Kim Jong-un’s personal security and villa defense, and the “Bulletproof Guard Corps” that ran with Kim Jong-un’s car in suits at the 2018 inter-Korean talks in Panmunjom also belonged to the Guard Command.
According to the former top government defector, Kim Jong-un is worried about the collapse of the North Korean social structure due to the successive defection of diplomats and other elite people, so he is strengthening the maintenance of his own personal security.
