We expect rice harvest to commence soon and anticipate that...

World on the brink: How three conflicts could spark a global war. The world is facing a dangerous period of escalating tensions and potential conflicts that could trigger a third world war, experts warn. Three flashpoints in particular pose a high risk of sparking a major confrontation between the major powers: the ongoing invasion of Ukraine by Russia, the nuclear standoff between Israel and Iran, and the rising tensions over Taiwan between China and the US.

Why not just the Philippine navy or coast guard ships do the resupply mission in brp sierra madre instead of those small boat they're currently using? According to the news articles I found, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) maintains the need to deploy small boats in the resupply mission to BRP Sierra Madre so as not to provoke China or any other claimant countries in the West Philippine Sea. The PCG also said that there is a special arrangement for the delivery of humanitarian supplies, but not for the transportation of large-scale building materials. The PCG has recently deployed its biggest multi-role response vessel, the BRP Gabriela Silang, for the resupply mission, but it still relied on smaller boats to transfer the supplies to...
