Macron's visit to China is highly meaningful actually for two reasons IMO as per the 51 point joint statement. It was not a routine visit.
1) Mil-Mil exchanges between the Southern TC and French Pacific forces.
2) About 160 Airbus planes being purchased and licensing for France's Dassault Falcon 8X jets.

There is a significant amount of money being changed and mil-mil exchanges are definitely crossing Washington's red lines.

That JGSDF helicopter went down with:
1 general (CO of 8th Division)
6 colonels (8th Division Chief of Staff + others)
3 captains, 2 flying the helicopter and 1 security detail

It pretty much wiped out the entire command staff of 8th division. This is why you shouldn't have all your VIPs traveling together.

Abe: "a Taiwan emergency is a Japanese emergency, and therefore an emergency for the Japan-US alliance".
Does this count as an emergency?

The man has higher ambitions and I think he's more or less trying to position himself for higher political office down the road i.e. the Presidency. The man is only 39 years old, a war veteran who served his country ably in the illegal war of Iraq. Has a beautiful telegenic wife (actress) which is an asset in today's Republican party since they're going all out against the Democrats insane tack in embracing 100 genders and trans culture nonsense. So the man is possibly trying in positioning himself to become the Repub version of Jack Kennedy if his political calculations ( allegiance to Donald Trump) and machinations pan out then who knows.
All his majors are toilet paper, you don't need to be intelligent to finish them just learn how to spout ideological bs and lick the right asses up the hierarchy which is exactly how people like him get promoted. So yeah, he IS an idiot and the more there're idiots like him in the US government, the faster their empire falls.

Israel launches artillery attacks on Syria after rocket fire​

Israeli military says six rockets were fired from Syrian territory towards Israel, one of which landed in the annexed Golan Heights.
The Israeli military says it has launched artillery attacks on Syria after several rockets were fired from Syrian territory towards northern Israel, none of which caused damage or casualties.

The cross-border exchanges early on Sunday came as violence escalates on multiple fronts, including in Gaza, Lebanon, occupied East Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank.
How much escalation does Israel want?
