Hello viewers and friends, welcome to today's October 11, 2026 episode of Lude Media Dr. Yan Speaks. Let's take a look at what news we have today. First, I'd like to greet our viewers and take a look here. Hey, let's say hello to Victor, who is sitting on today's sofa. Let's greet the sofa today, right? Victor always puts up such a cute row of emojis. Alright, let's take a look. First, today we want to talk about how the CCP country was discovered to have promised to donate $500 million to the WHO last year. Does anyone still remember this? Let me show you, we have last year's report right here. Look, Hong Kong 01, Caixin, and others all reported on it; the whole world was reporting it, saying, "Hey, last year in May, right?" The WHO passed a pandemic agreement, which was before the U.S. officially withdrew from the WHO; the U.S. officially withdrew last August, right? Back then in May, the WHO was still thinking whether it could rope in the U.S. so that in the future, whenever there is any pandemic, you have to listen to the WHO, right? So at that time, there was still a strong competitive drive. At that time, the CCP directly allocated $500 million to the WHO with a grand gesture, right? At that time, the WHO finished that general meeting in Geneva on May 20 last year.

Tedros said, "Wow, our achievements are huge!" And China specially dispatched Vice Premier Liu Guozhong to express congratulations, saying, "In the next five years, the Chinese side will provide an additional $500 million in aid funds to the WHO!" In other words, didn't you, the U.S., say you wouldn't give money to the WHO? Don't be afraid, China is here, and you have China supporting you behind the scenes! You need to have confidence, and so on and so forth.

As a result, a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and now people are asking: where on earth are these 500 million? Seeing that it's been a year and a half, the WHO side has already gone through I don't know how many rounds of layoffs! Don't just look at the layoffs inside the CCP country, where people over 35 are cast aside, and temporary workers are discarded at every turn. The WHO is no longer an iron rice bowl either over this past year and a half. Up to now, looking at the $500 million boldly promised by the CCP country, a year and a half has passed, and not a single cent has arrived on the books! At least it hasn't been seen on the public books. So do you think the CCP country no longer wants the WHO? Not really, the CCP is still expanding its influence. Hey, whether you have money or not, I still have to plant our All-China Women's Federation secretary, a party official named Song Li, into your organization. So this whole thing is quite comical.

This demonstration, well, you can't completely break ties with the CCP country, right? But now, because it really has no money left, it just has to ask about it! So, Reuters and all that, today, the major media outlets all over the world, whether pro-communist or not, except for the CCP's media, are also talking about this matter. They say that now the WHO, all of a sudden without US funding, and other countries also having no money and cutting aid, the financial pressure is now rising sharply. Look, the WHO has already laid off two thousand people, and one thousand two hundred and eighty positions simply don't exist anymore and have been directly closed down. Moreover, for the basic budget from 2026 to 2027, the WHO is also tightening its belt and reducing it by one-fifth, and then departments have been cut from seventy-six to thirty-four, and senior executives have suddenly been halved from fourteen to seven people, and it's still not working now! Let me tell you, about this WHO, really, if the US doesn't step in, you wouldn't even realize that there were such a huge number of people in here that you simply didn't need at all! Alright, then Reuters said, well, documents obtained last November showed that in January 2025 last year there were more than nine thousand four hundred employees, and now more than two thousand three hundred people are already gone. Well, WHO Director-General Tedros even said that last year was the most difficult year in WHO history.

As we always say, last year was the most difficult year in your history, but it might also be the best year you'll have from last year onwards, right? Ah, anyway, that five hundred million from the CCP country, now everyone is struggling to scrape it together no matter how they try. They say that including the WHO, Switzerland promised last year, when fundraising in May last year, to commit eighty million dollars, and then Sweden thirteen point five million dollars, Qatar six million dollars, and it's not even known if these have arrived. What can a drop in the bucket accomplish? Isn't it that after the cuts, the WHO still needs over four billion dollars in annual expenditures? Ah, not to mention whatever embezzling and taking they do on their own, right? Anyway, regarding this from the CCP country, it is said that actually you can't even say it's a contract that has already been signed with commitments truly in place, because look, now they say in the fundraising announcement published by the WHO on May 20 last year, the five hundred million promised by the CCP country was limited to verbal and called pending confirmation, not something that has already been signed and sealed. So you say if the CCP country now wants to renege, well, we've all surely witnessed it, haven't we? Back then, after Guo Wengui set up his Rule of Law Fund and Rule of Law Society, didn't he open his mouth in a livestream and say he wanted to donate one hundred million dollars? Then he fooled all of us big and small back then into taking it as true. All these anti-communist people who couldn't stand the CCP went there to donate money. Mr. Lude chipped in out of his own pocket every month, and I even donated, right? As a result, it all went down the drain! Guo Wengui's one hundred million dollars—now that he is in prison, why don't you go ask him where that one hundred million is? Ah, from beginning to end, not a single cent ever landed in pockets, and he still had the nerve to say that he used the Rule of Law Fund to give this person and that person money, or to rescue me to Hong Kong, and that it was paid for by the Rule of Law Fund. Give me a break! Ah, who knows how much of the money we all donated was swallowed up by him. So you see, it's just a game, and do you remember the Wenchuan earthquake back then? In 2008, when Zhang Ziyi was still an international Best Actress, she also ran to some film festival—was it Cannes or somewhere?—talking about fundraising, and then after the fundraising, it was said that the money also didn't arrive afterwards, and this caused Zhang Ziyi's public reputation to be very poor for quite a long time, and it finally fizzled out. It turns out that now this looks like a traditional practice of the CCP country, you know? It's that verbal anything goes, just like the empty promises Sun Yuchen made to Jing Tian, right? In the end when it comes to implementation, not half a cent can be seen! So the WHO is very miserable now; after all, five hundred million dollars, where is this pie, right? Waiting eagerly to be corrupted. And now not a single penny has come over, and no one dares to actually go ask the CCP country for it.

Alright, moving on, let's talk about the plague in Russia. Briefly speaking, the situation seems to have entered a period of relative calm for now. However, although the WHO has stated that they don't know the exact cause—whether it's Yersinia pestis or something else—it remains an unexplained mystery. This shows that the WHO really can't do much. But now, some media outlets online—and I'm not sure if this is 100% true or part of a cognitive war—are reporting something worth noting. They claim that while Russian authorities have denied the existence of a second plague patient or death, there are reports that Russia has been making advance purchases of anti-plague protective suits. First, let's say this is open-source information scraped from Russian public documents. What does it say? For example, the 14th General Outpatient Clinic in Samara, Russia, purchased eight sets of 'Kavkaz-EM' type anti-plague suits. The local health department explained that this is standard required equipment. The relevant tender was actually published before August 12th. Some people questioned, 'Didn't you say the plague was gone? You called it an unexplained pneumonia, so why are you purchasing these in advance?' Now, the local Russian health authorities are saying that this purchase was a routine replacement for expired old suits, so the August announcement was just for routine replacement. That explanation sounds plausible, because in places like Russia, with so many Siberian forests and proximity to the Mongolian border—all high-risk areas for the plague—it is understandable to replace protective suits every few years as a routine practice. This depends on whether one can verify if they do indeed replace them every few years. Additionally, it has been discovered that Russia's Primorsky Krai plans to purchase 500 sets of these fully-equipped anti-plague suits, and the Russian republics of Yakutia and Karelia are also purchasing filters and equipment related to plague protection. Because people are very worried about whether this is actually the plague or a potential weapon leak, these reports are emerging. This doesn't necessarily mean that they are already prepared for an outbreak or that it is currently spreading. But as you can see, we can't fully trust Russian media, right? So we need to keep a close eye on it to see what's really going on.

Furthermore, regarding some Chinese-language accounts online—I've seen accounts like 'Bao Diao Bao Diao' that belong to the fake anti-CCP type, the kind that coordinates with people like Teacher Li, which are unreliable. I'm not sure if the content they are leaking was actually submitted by someone, but they claim there is an outbreak in Inner Mongolia with hundreds or thousands of plague cases or suspected patients, and that the authorities are suppressing it, claiming dozens have died, and that local medical staff have stockpiled antibiotics in advance to give to their families for prevention. We currently have no credible data or related leaks to verify this with you. I can only say that if any of our viewers have information on this, you can contact us, right? As of now, I am still observing these reports. We are just summarizing them for you. If you see them, please exercise discernment. Also, sporadic cases of the plague every year are quite normal, including a few cases here and there, and even deaths; this happens every year. The key is whether it has caused a regional outbreak. That is the situation that would be worth paying attention to. Also, has anyone stockpiled medicine in advance? Specifically, if those in the know—such as high-level officials in health, the military, or law enforcement—show signs of making preparations in advance, that is important information. You can contact us, and we will take a look and try to discern what is actually happening. In any case, we are still keeping an eye on this matter.

Well, and speaking of this, let's talk about how reporters, especially these American reporters, are constantly trying to trip up Trump, trying to set traps for him, but President Trump's answers are always extremely quick-witted and flexible. For example, yesterday a reporter asked Trump, "Will you commit to accepting the results of the midterms?" This question is already very unfriendly, right? Trump said, "What do you think the answer is?" The reporter said, "I don't know." Trump said, "Of course I accept, but I don't want to see cheating happen, we don't want anyone cheating, you know what I mean?" This reporter's question is really lacking in common sense, isn't it? So, you can't possibly say, "You guys cheated, you messed up the midterms, and then Trump has to just accept the results?" Of course there has to be an investigation. By the way, there's news breaking over here in the US; yesterday there was a report from California—well, not a police report, but yesterday there was a report from California saying that the postal department reported that surveillance cameras or something caught—I think it was USPS, anyway, inside a postal truck, because in California they still do mail-in ballots in advance, right? It's not like mail-in ballots are completely banned in the US now; those who need them can still use them. So while mail-in ballots were being distributed in California, thieves actually stole a large package, a large package from inside the postal truck. And it is said that the stolen packages contained many mail-in ballots that were supposed to be distributed to the recipients on that day. In other words, an investigation is currently underway because UPS has already confirmed that indeed a large package was stolen, and the theft happened in broad daylight, so it was caught on camera. As for how many mail-in ballots were actually lost and what will happen, they say, "Oh, it's currently under investigation," and they also promised that some ballots would be reissued and that signatures would be verified at that time. But I'm telling you, from this you can see that Trump and his team are very strict when it comes to election fraud, including regulation, legislation, and advance preparation. So you see, those who want to commit election fraud are even willing to steal mail-in ballots in broad daylight—these are blank mail-in ballots, and now that they've been caught stealing them, you know there's definitely going to be a lot of good shows to watch next, right? So Trump is also taking precautions here in advance. And then, for example, recently I see Chinese media and all kinds of fake anti-communist figures using these polls to say, "Oh, these polls have always been quite neutral, showing that Trump is currently unpopular, and saying that during the midterms, Trump and the Republicans might be overturned soon, and that Republicans are treating Trump as a burden." No, go look at it yourselves: out of the top ten major donors in the US, nine are investing in the Republicans, betting on the Republicans here. Just this one fact is more useful than any of those poll-making weather vanes, alright? Didn't Trump himself post on Truth Social saying that Democrats, along with their criminal accomplices and fake news media, are trying to fabricate a false narrative?

And I see our viewer friend Lili Liu—is that Lili Liu? Lili Liu often posts this Dr. Yan emoji, but I'm not that Yan, I'm not the Yan meaning strict; I am Master Men San, or you can also write it as the Yan of King Yama, because they are actually the same character, right? Master Men San is the Yan on all my official documents, right? It's not the two characters for strict. Thank you.

Alright, and then here, you see, let's move on to look at the International Criminal Court. Well, that's also an interesting matter, right? Trump simply doesn't recognize this judge who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize this year by the International Criminal Court. Actually, this judge got the award inexplicably; it falls under the category of him just doing his job while sitting in that position—it's not like he stood out on his own, it's not like he innovated, nor did he have any heroic feats or any influence, right? Who would know him if not for this? They just propped him up as a Nobel Peace Prize winner, just to disgust America, right? To disgust Trump's side, isn't that so?

And another thing, after Machado was chosen last year, they originally thought the Trump administration would fall straight into the trap and immediately prop up Machado as the new leader of Venezuela, but now it turns out that didn't work. Even though Trump's State Department has already issued this document on how to transition Venezuela to hold elections on the fourth day, Machado still has to wait along with others until all order is established to fairly compete, right?

So you see here, there is this feeling that those pro-CCP, anti-Trump, and anti-American groups who control the Nobel Peace Prize couldn't take it anymore. Last year I gave you Machado and you didn't recognize her, so this year I'm not even pretending anymore. I'll just prop up a judge for you who is entirely unpalatable to the US, anti-Israel, pro-Pakistan, and flirting with the Chinese Communist Party for this peace prize. But do you think America actually cares about this? That's hilarious. So yesterday that reporter asked Trump, "You say you don't accept the result of the Nobel Peace Prize being awarded like this, right? How do you view this matter?"

Trump told reporters yesterday that Norway has some very serious problems, right? The Norwegian royal family's involvement in that Epstein case, he keeps going on about it. Then, Trump said the only thing we know is that this Peace Prize winner is very anti-Israel. Trump said I haven't met him, and I've never heard of him. And then the Nobel Prize was awarded to him, right? This Navi Pillay. So, Trump doesn't recognize this person at all.

And since this person is of Indian descent, it's actually quite obvious that awarding this prize to this Navi Pillay has another layer of meaning, which is the hope that the CCP hopes to use this matter to stir up the relationship between the United States and India, and between Israel and India, right? Because India is now very close to the United States and Israel, how vigilant the CCP is! Especially, you think that just a few days ago, only 95 kilometers away from the Tibet border, the US and India conducted joint airborne exercises. So you say that the CCP is now pushing out this Indian female judge, the meaning is also very clear: don't think that only you, the US, have influence in India; I have it too. I can even stir up India to oppose you, the US, and oppose you, Israel, later on. This is, this is their idea, right?

Okay, but the problem is, can this matter have an impact? Clearly not, because you look, why is it such a coincidence? Around the same time as this Peace Prize, wasn't it the Indian pilot who saved the Fly Dubai plane, which was carrying almost all Israelis? So, on the very day the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded, the Israeli President Isaac Herzog personally tweeted, and in the photo was that hero, the Indian pilot, who is currently recovering. The Israeli President said, Smith, ah, Captain Machacha, ah, if I'm not mistaken, you are a hero to Israel, India, and all of humanity. In the letter I wrote to you, which you received last weekend, I expressed our prayers for your full recovery and early return to health. As I wrote in the letter, I look forward to this, I look forward to welcoming you to Jerusalem after you regain your strength. I will, on behalf of the people of Israel, have the great honor of presenting you with Israel's highest recognition for civilian heroism—the Israeli Civilian Hero Award.

See that? You say the Israeli President already said, I wrote to you last week, I already told you last week. Why specifically time it around October 10th, when the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded, to synchronize and post such a tweet? Ah, isn't that telling you? The real peace hero is here, like this captain, he avoided an accident even more terrifying than 9/11, with so many people on the plane, right? If they had awarded him the Nobel Peace Prize, I think everyone would be convinced, right? Israel wants to give him the highest honor award, but you see, they insist on giving it to a female judge who openly stands with the CCP against Israel, right? Oh, so the US isn't going to indulge them either, right? Now they are using this matter to try to disrupt the relationship between India, the US, and Israel, but this is absolutely impossible to achieve, because Modi is also very smart, right? He immediately highly commended this Indian pilot, and then everyone publicized it, and everyone knows that Indians are very, very capable, very great, right? They love peace and are very brave. As for that judge of yours, who cares?

Ah? And then didn't the news come out today? The US has already imposed comprehensive sanctions on the International Criminal Court, right? Including the individuals who were previously targeted, the judges and prosecutors, now it has expanded to the entire International Criminal Court institution. Rubio also said that the US will prohibit transactions with the International Criminal Court, cut off the ICC's access to US financial services and related technical support, and give relevant companies a six-month transition period. He said President Trump will never allow the International Criminal Court to prosecute US citizens. If the International Criminal Court and its member states cannot resolve the issues raised by the US, Washington will continue to take action to gradually dismantle this international judicial institution.

Oh my, you see, they are not being polite at all, right? And this is the first time the US has fully sanctioned the International Criminal Court, directly restricting financial and technical services. Ah, I specifically emphasize that we in the US have never joined your court, you have no judicial jurisdiction over me. President Trump will not allow you to cause trouble, we must prohibit transactions with this out-of-control court. That is to say, it is not allowed for US individuals and companies to conduct transactions with the International Criminal Court, and they must block the use of the US dollar, US financial service channels, right? US dollar settlement capabilities will be restricted, related services will be restricted, and technology includes IT, software, etc., right? Ah, and this might suddenly revert back to the era of handwriting, and then, it is also said that there are some limited exemptions here, to facilitate your transition or other things. In short, your daily operations have now been directly put on this list by the US, right?

And then the US also said that your investigation into the US military and Israeli leaders is a complete overreach! Saying that this is based on the Rome Statute and so on. The US said that this is a violation of our sovereignty, including the International Criminal Court now targeting US military intelligence personnel for alleged war crimes during the war in Afghanistan, and so on, right? As well as during the Gaza conflict, the ICC went straight after Israel, while showing favoritism towards Hamas and Pakistan. So the US is not buying your narrative here. No matter what you say about the Rome Statute or whatever, trying to play this political correctness card as a big oppressive tool is just a pipe dream.

And furthermore, Japanese-origin President Tomoko Akane is also currently on the sanctions list. Japan reportedly, through Sanae Takaichi, made a public statement that it does not recognize this matter. But rest assured, the alliance between Japan and the US will not experience any substantive problems because of this matter. Sanae Takaichi's remarks were just for the media, right? Anyway, organizations like the United Nations, the WHO, and this criminal court have been completely corrupted. As long as you cannot do real work, sigh, the US simply does not care about your narrative, isn't that right?

Sigh, including some little pinks jumping out here to say? Oh, Xi and Putin are bad seeds, and Trump is also a bad seed. How is Trump a bad seed? You don't need to come here and peddle that black-and-white narrative on behalf of the CCP! Under orders to curse Xi, and then the rest of the time trying to sow discord in the US, sabotaging the US strategy of uniting with Russia to destroy the CCP. I'll show you in a moment, Bessent said today, right? Several European countries stood up and said, Oh, look at this, er, the US bought Russian diesel, which means you are not supporting Ukraine. I will show you these data in a moment to see how these European countries, on the one hand, pay lip service to supporting Ukraine, on the other hand, condemn the US for buying Russian diesel, while on the other hand remaining energy dependent on Russia themselves, alright? We will lay out all these accounts clearly for you. None of this is just my own words; I am merely making a summary of these data, including Reuters, the EU's own news, and Ukraine's news, all of which are written there.

If you Europeans really want to help Ukraine, stop lying down on the job! Ah, you yourselves first stop buying oil, you first stop being energy dependent. And you know what? Ever since the Russia-Ukraine war, the money Europe gave to Ukraine is tens of billions less than the money they spent buying energy from Russia! Ah, this is what Reuters summarized, an account calculated by Europeans themselves. And you think the US is now asking Ukraine to back down or something, but US Patriot missile factories are being built right in Ukraine. Look at what Europe has done! Do you think Zelenskyy gets along so well with Europe every day, has he really received that much support from Europe? I'll show everyone later. At the beginning of October, how was Europe acting? They were reluctant to squeeze out even a tiny bit of help between their fingers, and after Ukraine got that tiny bit of money, Europe was still attaching conditions, like refusing to give more? That's why here, those who come out and immediately curse Trump, pretending to be neutral, they are all a nest of bad actors. All of these, including accounts like NEGS or whatever, these are all state security assets, those thoroughly rotten pieces of work, you know? Because in our show every day we talk about these things, logic, facts, and data are laid out clearly. When they come up, they output strong emotions indiscriminately, without reasoning, only throwing out so-called conclusions. These are all trying to steer the public narrative, understand? Do you really think you can still fool an audience like ours? It's laughable! Well, let me show you, regarding this International Criminal Court, we won't say too much, because dealing with these guys is a matter of minutes for the US. Just look at the miserable state of the WHO and you'll know, right?

Now, more news is coming out from the UAE regarding the hijacker, confirming that he did intend to carry out a suicide attack, and confirming that his primary, optimal target was to attack that international airport in Israel. And then, there is a new detail, which is that it is now confirmed that this suspect had previously used two flights to Tel Aviv to familiarize himself with the flight route and the airport.

The problem is, this person is an Omani national. Although he could fly this route on Fly Dubai, theoretically, pilots from countries that have not established diplomatic relations with Israel should not be qualified to fly Israeli-linked flights, because this is a prerequisite for Israel's national security. So why was this person not discovered to be an Omani national during his previous two flights, leading to his flight assignments? This loophole is currently under investigation as well.

And another thing, remember I mentioned that he had previously studied in Australia, and even had ties to New Zealand? Now, interrogations of him in the UAE indicate that back in 2017, while studying abroad in Australia, he had already begun to gradually shift toward extremism and terrorism. That is to say, current indicators point back to about a decade ago when he was around 19 or 20 years old—since he is only 29 now—meaning he was already influenced by this mindset in Australia. So you see, Australia, this Commonwealth country that goes on all day about universal love, leftism, peace, and equality, has long turned into an incubator and a hotbed for terrorism, hasn't it? It's just that specific details on whether he was radicalized there by someone or how he actively sought it out have not yet been fully disclosed.

Meanwhile, the suspect told investigators that he himself had read a lot of terrorist materials and, in preparation for this attack, had specifically undergone physical and psychological training, including participating in boxing training and so on. In addition, Saudi Arabia is reportedly quite shaken by this incident, and since the flight made an emergency landing there, Saudi authorities have also launched a separate independent aviation security investigation into the event.

As for the Associated Press, they had actually reported previously on why this person was able to so casually pilot this flight heading to Israel without being intercepted beforehand. The investigation now reveals that journalists have found there really are some systemic loopholes here. For example, officials on the UAE side stated that they had already shared passenger and crew information, including nationalities, with Israel prior to this flight. They said this was part of routine information sharing, but Israel had expressed no dissatisfaction or warnings regarding any of these passengers or crew members.

When asked about this, Israel stated that if there were a need to vet flight manifests, it should fall under their Ministry of Transportation. The Minister of Transportation publicly stated that aviation security is part of transportation security. However, before this flight took off, their department did not receive the nationality lists of the passengers and crew, nor did they receive any warnings. Then they mentioned this.

During interviews, they also explained that while they are responsible for Israel's security in this regard, they also rely on local security checks conducted in Dubai and the UAE. They said the current problem is that you think you've done the vetting, and they think they've done the vetting; when the various parties cross-check, they realize there are actually gaps here. You see, there wasn't a corresponding tool or capability to guarantee background checks on every single passenger and crew member for each flight. Therefore, although theoretically Israel has signed agreements with these airlines prohibiting citizens of countries with no diplomatic relations with Israel from serving as pilots on flights to Israel, what you see now is that after days of investigation and various people coming out for interviews and commentary, it turns out someone clearly knew about this loophole. So someone at Fly Dubai—and I think this is quite clear now—knew that Israel lacked the capability to individually verify everyone on board. Consequently, they managed to get this Omani pilot into Fly Dubai during the process, and even had him fly a few times, right? On one hand, to scout the location, and on the other hand, to see that Israel indeed did not catch this loophole. And then, around late September, they started preparing to carry out the terrorist attack, right? So how could someone unfamiliar with the inside details arrange things in such meticulous detail? It really was thorough, wasn't it?

And then, there is also the fact that after this incident occurred, the opposition—the Israeli opposition, along with some university professors in the UK specializing in aviation safety—commented, saying, "How could this Omani pilot have extremist views, yet Fly Dubai still hired him, and furthermore, hadn't discovered it or fired him? Who is ultimately responsible for this?" Didn't I tell you all yesterday? What is Fly Dubai anyway? Aren't there pilots in the US at United Airlines who are pro-Pakistan, pro-Hamas, and anti-Israel? They can only suspend their flight duties; they can't even fire them because they have the backing of some semi-terrorist Muslim alliances, and there's that pilots' union saying you can't just fire someone over freedom of speech regarding this matter. So, I tell you, it's fortunate that we emphasize prevention. God bless, it landed safely in the end. If it hadn't, if this terrorist attack had occurred—even if it had crashed in an empty field in Saudi Arabia, or if he had carried out a 9/11-style attack on an Israeli airport, or what about his other alternative, the plan to bomb the US military base in Jordan? Regardless of which possibility, as long as this terrorist wasn't captured alive, I tell you, there would be endless buck-passing involved. So, whoever planned this terrorist attack is truly evil, very evil. This is definitely not a lone-wolf operation that could trigger so many geopolitical issues and so many practical institutional problems. So, who do you think it points to behind the scenes? Does Iran have that kind of capability? Alright.

Now let's look at this: the Tumen River is not peaceful today. First of all, it's been a while since we talked about the Central Command bombing ships, right? Well, yesterday afternoon, the Central Command released a video stating that the US military had disabled a cargo ship attempting to violate the blockade. The Central Command disabled this commercial vessel in the Gulf of Oman—look, they blew it out of the water. They said this ship ignored repeated warnings from the US military and attempted to break through the current maritime blockade imposed on Iran, so a US fighter jet, after failing to intercept it, used a precision-guided missile to strike this Panama-flagged cargo ship. This flagship—uh, this cargo ship is called Ocean Monica, also known as Arica Sun, yes, a ship that had changed its name. It hit the stern, see? It was a precision strike that completely disabled the ship's propulsion system, while not harming any crew members. The US is very proficient at this now, right? They've hit so many already, and I don't know why this ship insisted on trying to break the blockade right now. This cargo ship is a large one, as you can see, right? Very, very long. It departed from an Iranian port and was attempting to break the blockade in that sea area when the incident occurred. The Central Command said that we have been enforcing the blockade on ships from Iranian ports since July 14th, right? It's been three months since October 14th, and if you insist on hard-headedly trying to break through, well, sorry, right? Then you've just joined our new package of ships disabled by the US military! So, the US military reminds everyone again: you ships, remember to be obedient.

Alright, so what is the background of this ship itself? Well, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) hasn't dared to mention this matter, as I've looked into it. Because this ship has already been clearly identified by maritime reports, and it is not difficult to verify at all. This ship belongs to Hong Kong, even though it flies a Panamanian flag. Do you remember that a while ago there was a lot of news saying that because Panama kicked out Li Ka-shing and the CCP's influence, cooperating with the United States, the CCP has actually been obstructing and making things difficult for all these ships flying the Panamanian flag in every possible way? But that doesn't stop the CCP's own shadow ships from flying the Panamanian flag. This is one of them. According to public databases and maritime reports, this ship apparently arrived in the Gulf of Oman in mid-August. It first departed from an Iranian port, and based on its AIS tracking system, it could be traced to the Gulf of Oman by mid-August, where it anchored and stayed for several weeks. Furthermore, during this period, from August to early September, the ship's AIS reception records showed a long gap. What does that mean? It's a characteristic of a shadow ship, right? Turning off the Automatic Identification System so you can't find it. He thought he was staying there very securely, but in reality, he turned off the AIS system, and you don't know where he went, right? Whether he went to nearby ports to secretly load or unload cargo, or if he was trying to cover his tracks and quietly slip away from the Gulf of Oman, both are possible. Because according to the records queried by maritime reports, at least before the attempt last week, this ship had tried to leave the Gulf of Oman at least three other times. And this time, it was still keeping its AIS off, but unexpectedly, the U.S. military still spotted it while it was sailing, so the U.S. military intercepted it. Moreover, it thought that if it kept sailing, it might be able to escape, because before being struck and intercepted by the U.S. military, the ship had already reached the waters off the Arabian Sea, east of a remote town in Oman. It seemed to think that playing hide-and-seek with the U.S. military was quite effective, right? Then, in the early hours of October 11th local time, for some reason, the ship turned its AIS positioning back on, so the local commercial system recorded the data of this ship appearing in that location. Anyway, the ship kept turning it on and off, being all sneaky, but it was useless; in the end, it still got taken down. This ship is a very old one from 1996, having been in operation for 30 years now, right? As we've said before, those who operate shadow ships like these old vessels because they are cheap; if something happens, the cost of the loss is manageable. This ship has a deadweight tonnage of 70,000 tons, so it's quite large. It is actually registered to a company in Hong Kong and is managed and operated by a Hong Kong shipowner. Furthermore, it has changed names and management companies in the process, right? Anyway, the current Hong Kong shipowner took it over in 2023, and before that, it was registered under many other companies. But no matter who controls it, it has always been a shadow ship working for the CCP. Because others analyzing its maritime records have said that it has almost always been dedicated to maritime trade and transport between the CCP and the Middle East. So you see, the CCP thought, 'Oh, it's finally October, can we bring this ship back?' Hmph, no way! It got blown up right there! Well, the CCP is now swallowing its pride.

Meanwhile, why do I say that the Strait of Hormuz is unsafe? Look at this, around the Strait of Hormuz today, actually, according to British reports, within the past 24 to 48 hours—from yesterday to today—there are reportedly two vessels, aside from the Chinese Communist Party shadow ship just struck by the US military, that were suspected of being attacked by Iran. One of them, on local time October 10, was a tanker leaving the Strait of Hormuz that was hit by an unidentified projectile, causing a fire on board. The other, on local time October 11, was a tanker whose port side was hit by an unidentified projectile, causing hull damage while the crew remained safe. Among these two ships, what we can currently confirm is that one of them belongs to Taiwan—the one that suffered a fierce fire in the Tumen River Strait after being hit by something, ultimately getting destroyed with 22 crew members on board, was actually a supertanker registered in Taiwan carrying Saudi oil. Currently, the UAE has rescued all 22 crew members from this ship, and reports indicate there are no casualties. Tehran claims that the ship struck a marine mine, but British reports currently state it was hit by an unidentified projectile, so we do not know the exact details. However, we can obtain more information about this ship: it is named Gem Number Two. In fact, it does not seem like a shadow ship because it is managed and operated by Global Energy, a joint venture under Taiwan's shipping giant Yang Ming Marine Transport. At the time of this bombing, the cargo it was carrying was not shadow oil; it was legally obtained Saudi crude oil, not subject to sanctions. Then I checked and found no news of this vessel being listed on any sanctions blacklist. However, although this ship belongs to a Taiwanese company, the Taiwanese authorities do not yet seem to have issued relevant comments, and the CCP has not commented either. Even though it should be a regular commercial vessel, why was it hit this time? Regardless of whether it hit a marine mine, a missile, or a drone, people might say, isn't the US military able to protect regular vessels in the Tumen River Strait? Didn't the US military say it is very safe? Why is it so unsafe now? Does the US not have such strong control in the local Tumen River Strait area? You really cannot blame the US military for this matter. According to facts that can be found online at the time of the incident, it can be confirmed that the ship had turned off its AIS (Automatic Identification System) transponder. Moreover, at the time of the incident, the ship was navigating through a high-risk coastal route. Furthermore, it seemed to have happened at night, before dawn. Why on earth did it turn off its automatic identification system? It was not a shadow ship—who knows? There is currently no further news! Besides, if you keep your AIS on, the US military can see you from that positioning. The US military has also stated there that shipping lanes are not 100% safe everywhere in the Strait of Hormuz; there are parts that are unsafe. But although the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps might still be stirring up trouble over there, the US military's stance is that if you take the safe routes we have cleared, we can still protect you. Yet this Taiwanese ship strangely turned off its automatic identification system and went into a high-risk zone, making it impossible for the US military to protect you. Therefore, you really cannot blame the US military for its capabilities or anything like that. I actually find it very strange: did this Taiwanese ship do it because you yourselves stubbornly thought—acting overly clever—that turning it off at this time meant others wouldn't be able to hit you, taking what you thought was a safe shortcut that was actually a high-risk area? Or was there something else? Who made the decision for this ship—was it the shipowner or someone else—playing some other petty scheme? Did you not want the US military to know that your ship was appearing in these waters at that time? But it is hard for us to understand. You say the cargo you are carrying is a regular oil tanker, and it is a regular Taiwanese ship, right? So let's talk a bit more about this today. It is hard for me to understand. If you were really stupid enough to think you could take advantage of a situation here, take a shortcut, or something, resulting in the writing off of this vessel, then I really have to say that is exceptionally stupid! Otherwise, I would worry that there might be some fishy business going on with this ship—having to hide from the US, and then being mistakenly attacked by friendly forces on the Iranian side? Who knows!

Well, anyway, things are looking unstable in Iran again. And as everyone knows about Saudi Arabia, right? Yesterday, Riyadh International Airport was hit by a fierce attack from the Houthis, and it is said that there were 12 deaths and 309 injuries. The scale of casualties is quite large, and it even includes one U.S. citizen. So, this incident seems to indicate that the armed conflict and war between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis have escalated, and the Saudi side is indeed quite incompetent, right? This is the third time the airport has been attacked in a week! And after this attack, news broke today that the Houthis have attacked the Saudi airport again! Although it is said that Saudi Arabia and Yemen have launched counter-airstrikes, etc., the significance seems limited. So, throughout these days, the airstrikes have caused the most civilian casualties on the Saudi side, and yesterday's incident at the airport was the worst, right? So, moving forward, citizens from Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Pakistan, and Sudan were also injured, and among the victims, there were Saudis themselves and citizens of Bangladesh. Now, it is very obvious that fighting the Houthi militants has become a matter of political correctness for a multinational coalition! You can't just say, 'Oh, it has nothing to do with me, I'm not participating,' right? So, it is very clear that this points to countries needing to mobilize together to completely wipe out these Houthi terrorists—these terrorist proxies that Iran, with the full support of the CCP behind the scenes, is currently using to stir up trouble.

Saudi Arabia's attitude is very firm now, saying we want to fight, we want to do this and that. But in reality, their capabilities are indeed limited. However, because a U.S. citizen was attacked, the U.S. attitude has begun to change; it is no longer a case of 'this is your business and it's inconvenient for me to participate.'

Since a U.S. citizen was attacked, Rubio has already issued a statement strongly condemning it! Because previously, the Houthis told the U.S., 'We don't want you to participate because we won't attack you, so stay out of our business,' right? And we have also said that when the Trump administration was hitting Iran, countries like Saudi Arabia not only stood by and watched but also obstructed in various ways, calculating their own interests, right? Helping the CCP. So, whether it is from the perspective of teaching Saudi Arabia a lesson or letting Saudi Arabia stop 'lying flat' and stand up on its own before the U.S. gradually joins in, from any perspective, the U.S. could not have joined the counter-attack against the Houthis in the first place. But now, because a U.S. citizen has died, it is understandable if the U.S. heats things up, right? And now Saudi Arabia has even less qualification to say, 'Oh, don't fight, U.S., don't get involved, leave it to us, we Middle Eastern countries will decide our own affairs.' I tell you, Saudi Arabia is now begging the U.S., clinging to its leg, hoping the U.S. will step in to help. It is truly self-inflicted, isn't it?

So now, this matter is clearly escalating. And Netanyahu has also stood up and called for—look, since the Houthi attack on the Saudi airport has caused the situation to escalate, shouldn't countries unite? You can't just do your own thing, right? This doesn't make sense, does it? We just mentioned so many countries whose citizens have been harmed. So look, Netanyahu said, this is a horrific terrorist attack, and it really is, right? Think about it.

Didn't that Oman hijacker want to cause something like this in Israel? Now the Houthis didn't hijack a plane, they used missiles and drones to cause hundreds of casualties, right? This matter—so now Netanyahu is taking this opportunity to call for countries to join forces. At this point, what else can you say? 'Oh, we don't recognize you, Israel, we handle our own Muslim affairs, we want to be pro-Palestine, we want to support Iran and these Iranian terrorists'—you really can't justify that anymore, right? Unless you are Saudi Arabia.

If the royal family doesn't want to continue ruling here, and they end up being overthrown by the Houthis, then they will have to accept it themselves.

And now, in fact, open-source media monitoring flight indicators have also discovered in the last few days that U.S. tankers are gathering toward the Middle East again. Although Trump said he doesn't plan to hit Iran before the midterm elections, things can be deceptive; if he hits them one day, Iran will have to take it. Moreover, the situation in Israel is also becoming increasingly tense, right? Besides various terrorist attacks and Israel arresting terrorists every other day, Netanyahu has also held emergency security meetings, including one he chaired on Sunday night, local time. And there is news from the Pentagon that the Central Command has been ordered to complete combat readiness to respond to a potential large-scale military operation against Tehran that could be resumed at any time. At the same time, look, didn't we talk about whether the 'seller agreement' was just empty talk or substantive?

It has been confirmed by the Pakistani side that their troops are already stationed within Saudi territory. A Pakistani military spokesperson, a lieutenant general, told CNN that Pakistani troops are currently carrying out military missions in Saudi Arabia involving multiple capabilities and multiple domains. And he said this is also related to the implementation of the 'seller agreement,' right? It's just that they won't disclose the specifics.

Another piece of news is quite interesting, let me share it with you. You can look at it as an indicator: across the Middle East right now, all those remaining pro-Palestinian, Hamas, Iranian factions, various terrorist groups, and those affiliated with the Houthis are heavily financed and vigorously supported by the current Chinese Communist Party. They now realize that they are in a critical moment of life and death, because look at Mahmoud Abbas, the Chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian National Authority. In the past couple of days, he suddenly announced something.

Ever since Hamas won—you see, Hamas won the election back in 2006, which was their Palestinian legislative election. No wonder people say Hamas and Palestine are completely integrated, just different sides of the same coin. Ever since 2006, Palestine hasn't held a single legislative election. And Abbas, the Chairman of the Palestinian National Authority, had originally claimed that they were going to hold legislative elections on November 28 this year, putting on a democratic show.

Yet suddenly, in the past couple of days, it was announced that no, it has to be changed and delayed. Until when? Pushed all the way to September 11 of next year. Quite a date to pick, right? This change is clearly a date set in direct defiance of Western society.

So from this, you can see that they originally wanted to put on a show, pretending as if they had democracy, that Palestine and Hamas had democracy. But now they find out things are not going right! The situation is tense, not like before, nor like the CCP's bluffing, right? As long as you follow the CCP, as long as you make trouble, you grow bigger and your power gets stronger. You could even pretend to have parliamentary elections and what not. But now, obviously, look at this.

As the fighting goes on, they find that the entire Middle East is gathering together to turn against them, right? So now they say, forget about the election, I won't complicate things further! Parliamentary elections can wait until next year, if there are any at all. Besides, Abbas himself is already ninety years old this year. He was elected president twenty-one years ago in 2005, and Palestine hasn't held another presidential election since then, right? Look at this: because the current political situation is truly unstable, the terrorists no longer dare to pretend they can hold elections. No more pretending! They are scrambling with all their might to see if they can secure their footing.

Alright, then let's talk about this. Didn't Trump say yesterday, Zelenskyy, why don't you replace yourself? If Ukraine doesn't change its president, it feels like a ceasefire agreement can't be reached. Hey, I must say, when we look at things, we must definitely not follow whatever the CCP's propaganda says, nor should we accept mainstream media reports without any discrimination.

Zelenskyy responded today. He responded to Trump's remark about him potentially stepping down in an exclusive interview on ABC's program This Week. He said that if President Trump really wants Ukraine to hold elections, then tell Putin to give Ukraine two months—a sixty-day comprehensive ceasefire—and within sixty days we will organize elections. Whatever choice our people make, we will be ready. Hey, look at this, Zelenskyy is not at all like what the CCP's propaganda portrays, as if he is in a tit-for-tat confrontation with the United States.

Actually, his statement makes it clear. Yesterday the CCP was still thinking,

Just yesterday, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) still felt that regarding the negotiations for a ceasefire in Europe, Ukraine, and Miami, well, due to this U.S.-Russia diesel deal, there was even a possibility of things ending on a sour note. The CCP was still making a fuss, saying, "Oh, they should have talked more, but it ended so quickly, which must mean the talks went poorly, right?" They claimed Trump wants to oust Zelenskyy, and that once the U.S.-Russia diesel deal was reached, Europe, the U.S. Democratic Party, and Ukraine all expressed opposition, and even within the Republican Party there was dissatisfaction, and so on.

Before the ink on this narrative had even dried, look, in the energy sector, they have already reached a ceasefire! This isn't just about energy; this is the first substantive step toward a ceasefire, do you see? All parties have actually laid the groundwork. Trump said, let's start with an energy ceasefire; let's not strike diesel supplies first.

Ukraine said: "Let's have a ceasefire; we can start with a two-month trial period for a comprehensive ceasefire." Russia said: "Don't hit me, and if you don't hit me, I won't hit you either. I am willing to cooperate with the U.S." Do you see it now? So, you might ask, is this energy ceasefire just giving Russia a breather, and is everything else falling apart? Not at all, because at the same time, actually today, the U.S. is completely ignoring Russia's presence there. Isn't Ukraine currently conducting further bombings on Russian data centers today?

They are still hitting Russian data centers! Let us show you, the "sticky rice balls" (netizens) have already translated it, let me find it for you. Yes, look here. Currently, they aren't attacking each other in the energy sector, and a comprehensive ceasefire hasn't been reached yet, but they are still attacking each other, right? Especially today, Ukraine hasn't stopped; they are hitting Russian data centers—like Russia's Google and Baidu. In the last four days, they have hit three large data centers, causing damage to server facilities and interrupting cloud computing services. Russia's AI research is now under huge threat, do you see? It is exactly that.

Trump hasn't said a word. Trump didn't say, "Oh, you hit their data centers, so I won't communicate with you, Ukraine; I must have you, Zelenskyy, step down." That doesn't exist. Besides, Russia is using NVIDIA's A100s and various stolen technologies from the CCP, so where does Russia get its AI? Isn't it just what the CCP stole and gave to Russia? The U.S. is definitely willing: "Ukraine, you do it for me, blow it up, blow it up," right? Now look at Russian cities and neighboring border areas, including parts of Kazakhstan, Belarus, and Armenia; even trying to hail a ride or use a bank or the internet is impossible, right?

Of course, Russia is also very evil, continuously launching airstrikes on Ukraine, causing civilian and multiple child deaths; all of this must be accounted for, right? It's just that now, Russia, well, you can settle the accounts, but in the end, just dump all the blame on the CCP—that's how this game is played. So, here, look, they have explained the overall situation to everyone, and you will understand that it is not at all what the CCP is calculating. You say Trump has lost public support, that he is helping Russia and then stirring up trouble. And today, look at what Bessent said in an interview.

How should I put it? Look, when Bessent was asked about the criticism regarding Trump's diesel supply agreement with Russia, he said directly: since this war began, Europeans have given more money to the Russians than they have to Ukraine! And now they are actually saying this, "We cannot have even a little breathing room regarding diesel prices." That means, "You, the U.S., how can you allow Russian supply just to lower diesel prices? Oh, you acting like this means you don't support Ukraine, you don't support freedom and democracy?" and so on.

That's when Bessent said: "Europe is too hypocritical. They have been buying energy, buying Russian energy, and providing funds to Putin, more than the aid they've given to Ukraine. And now that the U.S. has made a deal for 4.8 million tons of diesel, you come over to lecture the U.S., saying this is wrong, that is wrong." Bessent said: "Don't pull that stuff! Come on, let's look at the facts."

I said it, let's use data to present the facts, right? Let's lay it out for everyone. Of course, the CCP's Observer Network (Guancha.cn) started immediately. "U.S.-Russia diesel agreement, UK, Germany, and other European countries supporting Ukraine, like Estonia and Sweden, do not agree," right? Saying, "This is giving Russia more revenue to conduct the war?" Including the statement issued by the British Prime Minister's office, saying something like, "The UK's position is clear: support Ukraine, promote lasting peace, and sanction Putin through the harshest sanctions in British history." Hey, just listen to it; this is typical political theater, right? Including Germany over here saying they are committed to implementing sanctions against Russia, further

carrying out activities, and so on and so forth. Hey, the CCP is very happy, saying: "Look, look, these little partners of yours have now been pried away by us, right?" And then a bunch of them, including the 50-cent army, internet trolls, and state security agents, come to our program to curse Trump. You look at it, we've been talking about Ukraine and Russia starting to fight; how long has it been now? It's looking like it's entering its fifth year, right? Oh, these EU camps like the UK, Germany, Sweden, and Estonia, they have always been extremely tough politically. However, we say, regardless of their...

When it comes to substantially buying energy from Russia, or from the perspective of their various increases in military spending, have we seen anything substantially meaningful? Here we must point out that they are the ones who shout every day about embargoes and wage the fiercest verbal attacks. In reality, if you look for yourselves, whether it is think tanks or Reuters, various independent data show that since the start of the Russia-Ukraine war in 2022, European countries have cumulatively paid over 213 billion euros to buy energy from Russia, such as natural gas, crude oil derivatives, and liquefied natural gas.

Over the same period, the total economic and military assistance provided by these countries to Ukraine amounted to only 167 billion euros, leaving a gap of more than 40 billion euros! No wonder Bessent directly asked: how much you gave to Russia versus how much you gave to Ukraine—don't you have any idea in your hearts? Are you pumping more blood into Russia, or more into Ukraine? Why are you European countries so at ease when it comes to giving money? You take the moral high ground and claim all political correctness, while the United States has been the one providing the money and effort all along.

You cannot crush the United States, yet in turn you interfere heavily and make harsh criticisms against the U.S. And look at the EU, right? Whenever something happens, reports pop up saying, oh, the EU has a series of strict measures to crack down on Russia and so on. All those policies are just on the surface. In reality, if the United States weren't here, relying solely on those European countries and the UK, Russia would be jumping for joy right now and definitely growing stronger.

Look at how they issue policies every few days; after they issue them, instead of looking at anything else, let's just look at the data. There are reports that in 2025 alone, those European allies who vocally and firmly support Ukraine in fighting Russia simultaneously and substantially increased their dependence on Russian energy imports! Just in 2025 alone.

Among them, France increased its imports by 40%, the Netherlands by 72%, and countries like Croatia, Romania, and Portugal also saw a surge in imports of Russian energy and energy products. Moreover, whatever goes unseen in these European countries is considered clean. Therefore, as long as this is cheap energy that helps them combat inflation and maintain domestic votes, they will take this energy.

Regardless of whether it comes from some third country or has been washed clean, it doesn't matter if the source is Russia, as long as it is transshipped and makes me look like I am getting clean energy, then it doesn't matter, right? In other words, by this year, remember what Russia said just a few days ago? Regarding the Power of Siberia 2 pipeline, when they were squeezed to rock-bottom prices, Russia even said: now that Europe relies on us, even if I sell it to them for thousands of dollars per cubic meter, they still have to accept it. You China even wanted to lower the price to 50 dollars? You must be dreaming!

Therefore, heading into the winter of 2026, starting this winter, because global energy prices are rising, Europe simply has no leverage to drag Russia down. Look at the U.S. providing just 480 tons of diesel; it is obvious that, first, this is meant to allow the price in the diesel market—meaning the diesel market and oil market are linked—to break free from the soaring prices propped up by the Chinese Communist Party, right? And secondly, as our Lude Media interpreted it, the main purpose is to signal the start of easing sanctions for Russia once a good token of loyalty is shown.

Truly speaking, the United States does not depend on Russian oil, but Europe is the one truly dependent on it, right? These guys take Russian oil and give money to Russia with one hand while cursing the United States vigorously with the other. This is as hypocritical as it gets! So you see, Bessent does not indulge them at all, right? And look at Ukraine: whenever you see European partners standing with Ukraine, when it finally comes to giving money, it is painfully difficult. Zelenskyy truly has an easy time; when he goes to these European countries to ask for money, he has to nag every single day, just like a debt collector knocking on doors, right?

However, while European countries make promises, they now have plenty of reasons not to fulfill them. For example, look at the EU—on October 1st, an article stated that Europe showed reluctance toward Ukraine's new financial assistance request because the EU has still not approved the new funding. Le Monde reported that for Europe, since multiple countries are about to hold elections, continuing to give this.

Money to Ukraine, even if already promised, is very difficult for them. What does that mean? Just for the sake of my own votes, I would rather let you Ukraine drag on like this, right? But when I want to scold the U.S., I will still scold them as much as I want, because that benefits my votes. And then, look at the G7: a meeting was held at EU headquarters on September 29th, right? Representatives from Norway, South Korea, and the International Monetary Fund all attended. This meeting on September 29th was specifically to assess Ukraine's funding needs.

Because previously some aid funds were allocated to Ukraine, but now Ukraine is asking for additional assistance, a European diplomat said that giving aid money to Ukraine is like pouring water into a desert—no matter how much you put in, it is just a drop in the bucket, and they keep coming back for more. They added that although Ukraine is in a difficult situation, the long-term budget of 100 billion euros expected to be provided by the 27 EU member states to Ukraine during the 2028-2034 period is still under active negotiation.

What kind of active negotiations are these? It means Germany and its allies want to cut hundreds of billions of euros, and then, this includes France, Spain, Poland, and Italy, because next year they all have national elections, and polls show that if they give more money to Ukraine, their own finances and votes will be threatened, so they all say, oh, we now need more detailed information to analyze how to meet Ukraine's needs. See that? The words sound great, but the money is not being given. Then they said that an EU Commission spokesperson previously mentioned that they might provide EUR 37 billion in financial support to Ukraine before the end of this year, but.

The prerequisite is that you, Ukraine, must achieve reforms. What kind of reforms? Things like anti-corruption in Ukraine, amendments to laws on the Ukrainian civil service system, Ukraine's bankruptcy legal framework, Ukraine's customs code, and so on and so forth. European countries have also listed these out. You, Ukraine, must accomplish these to make us feel convinced, and then we can cut you another piece; otherwise, we can only give you a little bit through our fingers. For example, you say we should give you tens of billions at the end of the year, but now that we've discussed it, we'll give you one or two billion for you to take and use first. We cannot give much right now.

Understand? Before doing my show today, I went to check a lot of materials on this and read many articles. Well, reading through them, if you are Zelenskyy, I tell you, you also know who you can actually rely on, and who is the one talking big and leaving your heart utterly cold. If you really rely on Europe, let me tell you, Ukraine would have been dead long ago, alright? So here, no matter how much surface-level friction there seems to be between Zelenskyy and the US and whatever, as long as Zelenskyy isn't an idiot and hasn't been completely bound to the anti-US camp, he knows that right now, it is indeed the US that can truly help him. Understand? Alright, then let's move on.

There is some news today that many people have been paying attention to over the past couple of days, which the international community is starting to focus on. I'm telling everyone about it because this matter is simply too absurd, you know? It's like what we've been discussing with everyone before, that the Batanes Islands, as the first island chain and an important bottleneck for the US to blockade the CCP in the direction of the Philippines, actually in the past—especially since Trump's return over the past year or more of joint military exercises between the US and the Philippines, as well as the US and other Pacific and Indo-Pacific regions—have used the Batanes Islands as part of its decentralization.

To counter the CCP, especially targeting the CCP's so-called anti-access and area-denial deployment as an important node, various drills, right? As a result, regarding the CCP's military strength, we haven't seen any substantive improvement. Speaking of military strength, leaving other things aside, just look at the last couple of days where Huawei's million-value high-end vehicle, the Maextro, was actually tested by an influencer, and three brand new cars bought directly from the.

Company, bought new cars from Huawei for a test drive, had almost identical problems where the brake pedals were snapped off. I watched that video, and it said that the blockade is very strict right now, especially saying that Huawei phones cannot play any related videos at all, right? But I took a look with an iPhone, and indeed, hey, although the CCP—well, we say that the quality of industrial production for things made in China varies and cannot achieve a unified standard, you must admit that when they break, they can achieve a unified standard. For example, those people online at Dongchedi.

Specifically took down and compared the brake pedals of the three Huawei cars that snapped off, and indeed, the broken edges were almost completely identical. Hey, on this quality issue, they took the lead in achieving a unified standard, ensuring that when things break, they always have the same cause and the same effect. No wonder people say that after the Type 59 modification was exported to Bangladesh, the ones that blew up the sugar mills two years ago and this year all blew up in the exact same way. When accidents happen, they truly maintain a leading national standard and resolutely achieve uniformity, right?

Hey, with such a garbage-tier industrial foundation, the CCP can brag all it wants about the J-10 and J-20. Now, facing the US arming the Batanes Islands in the first island chain and all that, what has it started doing? It has started in the Batanes Islands.

Making a fuss over the narrative of

We have also noticed this matter, which is that Beijing is seeking to expand its influence in the Pacific region. Regarding the Batanes Islands in the Philippines, located about 100 kilometers southeast of Taiwan, a group of scholars associated with the Chinese government—those mouthpieces controlled by the CCP—insisted that the Batanes Islands belong to China. Then, Chinese state media gave it widespread publicity, so now the Philippines is reacting strongly, and the international community has also started to look and think, 'Wait, they can play it like this?'

Analysts point out that this is a gray-zone tactic by Beijing to create sovereignty disputes through academic discourse, testing international reactions and pressuring its neighbors. Actually, to put it simply, it's just unrestricted warfare. 'What's yours is mine, and what's mine is mine.' They use the 'since ancient times' narrative to claim everything, right? Do you remember back in 2021, we talked about this?

Did Zhang Lei give us the news? Uh, the PLA General Staff officer at the general level, the spy Huang Tao, specifically ran from New York to Hawaii, right? He was previously in New York posing as a real estate agent, then moved to Hawaii, ostensibly to do real estate work, but in reality, he was there to engage in subversive activities, destroying the local indigenous historical narratives and relationships, trying to convince them that they don't belong to the U.S. and should be independent, and after independence, it would be best if they 'discovered' that they have been one family with China for thousands of years—that kind of narrative.

At that time, we did a lot of investigations with Colonel Selin, and Colonel Selin also published many articles, right? What we said was that Huang Tao and his group were coordinating with the CCP's subversive strategy. A group of people from the General Staff, including Ji Xiaobo, right? They did a whole series of things in Saipan and other places, seemingly involved in gambling or whatever, and later even telecom fraud; these are all just different masks for the many things the CCP wants you to do. At that time, I thought, 'Wow, surely not? You mean you're going to turn places like Saipan and Hawaii into territories that don't belong to the U.S., and eventually even belong to the CCP?'

As it turns out, look at what happened later: Denny Tamaki of Okinawa went to Beijing to 'acknowledge his ancestors.' Now look, the Batanes Islands are also claimed to be part of the CCP since ancient times. Anyway, the CCP is just forcing its will on others, right? Everyone knows this place is very important now; it's a node. And as we have said, if the U.S. imposes a blockade, the CCP will be blocked at the Miyako Islands above and the Batanes Islands below—the Bashi Channel and the Miyako Strait will be directly sealed off. If you want to break through, surround Taiwan, break the island chain, break the first island chain, and reach the South China Sea to further expand, your ambitions will be completely blocked right at your doorstep, right?

As a result, the CCP now, in a seminar held in June, established a core theory arguing that the Batanes Islands are geographically an extension of Taiwan and therefore belong to China. They further claim that the treaty transferring control of the Philippines to the U.S. after the Spanish-American War did not cover the Batanes Islands, so they combine this with the cultural ties between local residents and Taiwan's indigenous people as the basis for their claims.

How should I put it? To put it simply, I first make an assumption: this island must belong to our the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Then, to satisfy this assumption, we start fabricating things everywhere, right? As I said, that Sanxingdui, 3000 BCE—hey, now they can make up whatever they want, filling in whatever is missing, right? Missing bronzes? Henan will make them for you. Missing theoretical basis? The various dog-headed experts in every history museum will make it up for you. If you're missing some ancient books, or some arguments about "since ancient times," they will dig up some stone tablets for you, or get you some sentence from a certain classic that should be interpreted this way, right? Or they'll dig up a few turtle shells and tell you that the oracle bone script on them means this. Everything can be explained however they want. In short, it's like: I assume you belong to me, and then I start drawing the trajectory of my arrow around the target I set, right? And then, what's even the most funny thing about this process? It's that they also have to tell you that because their forced and far-fetched connections completely fail to directly link to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), their crucial node is this assumption—first saying you assume you belong to China. In the process of proving this assumption, they claim that the Batanes Islands should belong to Taiwan rather than the Philippines, and then Taiwan, well, that belongs even more to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) since ancient times, so your Batanes belongs to China. Do you see it now? Let's not even talk about other things; no wonder Trump had to arrange for Xi Jinping to visit the National Archives to see that plea letter written by Emperor Guangxu during the First Sino-Japanese Treaty of Shimonoseki, and to see the original copy of the Treaty of San Francisco! After all this fabrication that the Batanes Islands have belonged to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) since ancient times, it turns out there is an intermediate false proposition: Taiwan belongs to China, so Batanes belongs to Taiwan, therefore Batanes belongs to China? Oh man, seriously! We have to say these dog-headed experts rack their brains! But this kind of nonsense is only good for fooling the uncultured Xi. By the way, how can your conscience bear fooling Xi with your eyes wide open like this? Are you guys really loyal? Anyway, back in July—after the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) announced this matter in June—various media outlets went along to fan the flames, hyping this up as a major discovery. They claimed the Philippines still wanted to contend with us in the South China Sea, when in fact they didn't know the Batanes Islands all belong to our the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Extending this logic further, the Philippines has belonged to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) since ancient times! Extending it even further, Japan has belonged to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) since ancient times, Hawaii belongs to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Australia belo—they are all his! It's Xi's China Dream, right? This is step by step. We might not know about other things, but dreams really do have everything in them.

Well, actually, ever since they started talking about this in June, the Philippine government has rebuked it multiple times, saying, 'This is simply ridiculous!' Although the Philippines is a small country, it is not a country without its own historical archives. They have historical documents, and the United States and Spain have them too. There is not a single historical record that says the CCP or Taiwan owns the Batanes Islands, right? And here, I really, let me tell everyone, when I first saw this, my first reaction was, 'Hey, haven't the Batanes Islands already been handed over to the U.S., especially over the past year or so, and been fully armed?' Even if you, the CCP, really, truly dug up some history claiming the Batanes Islands belong to the CCP, it's useless. Isn't it true that power determines everything? Let me tell everyone what the Batanes Islands have been armed into by the U.S. and its allies now. We have actually talked about this in a series of programs, both last year and this year. As the northernmost archipelago of the Philippines, closest to Taiwan, the Batanes Islands are a vital passage in the Bashi Channel, right? And because of their important geographical location, first of all, let's say this: everyone knows you can't just say, 'Oh, you're close to Taiwan, so you're an extension of Taiwan.' If you use that logic, no wonder Russia says, 'Hey, from the west to Portugal, and east to the Far East, all of this is our Russia.' It's true, Russia says, 'Look, Eastern Europe is close to Russia, so it belongs to Russia; Western Europe is close to Eastern Europe, so Western Europe belongs to Eastern Europe, and Western Europe belongs to Russia.' Moving further, Mongolia is close to Russia, so Mongolia belongs to Russia; China is close to Russia... if you play it that way, no wonder Russia feels that all under heaven is their Russian land! So, after seeing this, I really find it laughable. And then, it says here, why didn't those idiots bring this up before? Because they weren't pushed to this critical point before, right? Why did the CCP start promoting this so aggressively after that seminar at Jinan University in June? Actually, the main reason is the series of exercises the U.S. has conducted from last year to this year, focusing on the decentralized, cross-island combat network around the Batanes Islands, including what we have repeatedly discussed in our program—this has really scared the CCP. For example, let's recall that in April last year, during the Balikatan 2025 exercise, the U.S. Marine Corps 3rd Marine Littoral Regiment deployed its Marine Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System to the Batanes Islands. That was the first deployment. It was transported by a C-130 transport aircraft, and they practiced striking maritime targets. Do I need to say which maritime targets they were striking? It certainly wouldn't be the Philippines, right? In May and June of last year, they deployed again to verify their forward fire bases. At that time, there was the Salaknib 9 exercise, right? The U.S. military established expeditionary advanced bases on the Batanes Islands and simulated maritime interdiction and anti-ship strikes. The point was to prove to you that our missile systems can enter remote islands, not just be used at fixed bases. Then in April and May of this year, I remember we talked about it on our show, the Balikatan 2026 joint exercise, didn't they further integrate the NMESIS and MDIS mobile air defense systems, as well as forward refueling, resupply, and long-range logistics into the drills? Even partners like Japan and Australia participated. And in June of this year, during the Salaknib 10 exercise, the U.S. and the Philippines used commercial vessels to participate, dispersing personnel resupply, anti-ship, and air defense capabilities to the islands, including the Batanes Islands. It's just to tell you that even if it's not large military aircraft or warships, we can achieve this decentralized deployment using these small commercial and civilian ships.

So you see, this whole series of things—well, aside from our show explaining it to you, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is also watching, taking it all in, and brooding over it. For instance, if I just flip through some examples for you: last February, before the

Over in the Philippines, they are directly sending consecutive question marks—everything belongs to you. What else will belong to you next? Huh? The CCP feels like, look, look, hey, what can you do even if you attack me? This is our chain of evidence, right? Hey, honestly speaking, we knew you were shouting excitedly like a rat hanging a bell on a cat's neck, but we didn't expect that you wouldn't even be able to hang the bell on the cat's neck, and now you're actually saying you're going to hang a bell on a tiger's neck, and you've even written down the theoretical foundations, strategies, and tactics, really. Xi indeed has serious flaws in his intelligence, but you bunch of dog-headed and rat-headed fellows, openly bullying someone with a severe intellectual defect, doesn't that sort of mean discriminating against the mentally disabled? Huh, discriminating against the mentally retarded? From this perspective, you are extremely disloyal! First of all, you know state secrets, right? Hey, this one-man supremacy has a problematic brain. Secondly, you utilize state secrets and also abuse them, then turn one-man supremacy into a laughingstock—calling a deer a horse, calling a rat's head a duck neck, and even claiming that the Batanes islands belong to the CCP. In the end, what happened? One-man supremacy, and yet one-man supremacy still has to come and take the blame for you, personally going on trial. If you ask me, one-man supremacy should first take you guys away, hey, go execute you by dogs, hey, first feed you to the dogs, that would be much more satisfying for venting hatred. Alright, today we'll chat with you up to here first, tomorrow we'll...
