A balloon in the stratosphere punctures US-China ties

1 month ago The Sunday Guardian

Interestingly, in 2019, Xinlang Junshi (Sina military news) filed a story of J-10C launching a Thunderbolt 10 missile to shoot down a foreign super high-altitude reconnaissance balloon. Why should a “civilian” balloon cause such a furore in the US as well as in China? Therefore, for all good or bad intentions, the stratosphere is emerging as a new breeding ground for great power rivalry. The deployment of such systems in the stratosphere could certainly provide China an edge over the US. As for the US, besides garnering bipartisan support for stronger action against China on issues such as hi-tech rivalry, Taiwan, South China Sea, Xinjiang, Tibet etc., the balloon gate will add stratosphere rivalry to the long list of US-China protracted rivalry.

Jewish groups condemn settler rampage, avoid mentioning Netanyahu

As American Jewish organizations responded to Sunday’s settler riot in the West Bank, most began with statements of condemnation. In 2007 it stood out among Jewish groups leading criticism of the then-Israeli government for contemplating a Palestinian role in Jerusalem. Beyond the O.U., Jewish groups decried the actions of the settlers but mostly avoided mentioning the Israeli government or its leader. Against that backdrop, Netanyahu did not feature in many American Jewish organizations’ statements. A number of regional Jewish organizations and rabbis have previously called for boycotts of far-right coalition members if and when they tour the United States.

Michigan misses opportunities, loses to Marquette on the road

Down by four points to Marquette with three minutes to play in the fourth quarter, the Michigan men’s lacrosse team was desperate for a goal. Missed opportunities like this one would prove to cost Michigan (2-2 overall) the game, as it faltered to Marquette (2-2) who maintained its lead as the game finished 14-9. Even as the Eagles went up 5-0 early in the first quarter, Michigan learned and adjusted in real time. Heading into the second quarter, it led 6-2. Mulholland scored his second of the game after the Wolverines’ ball movement opened up some space for him to take a shot.
