A Chinese official attempted some of that Wolf Warrior Diplomacy ™ shit. It did not go well. Philippines' Defence Minister Gilberto Teodoro was speaking up for smaller nations and international law at a forum in Korea when he was handed a note from a Chinese official, meant as intimidating.

🚨🚨🚨 Could WHITE CONDOR I’s withdrawn Cameroonian registration explain why it never entered the Strait of Gibraltar? The sanctioned tanker 🇨🇲 WHITE CONDOR I (IMO 9255244) has been loitering southwest of Gibraltar since 28 July, over 40 days.

What's going on with the Russian frigate Neustrashimy (Fearless) firing its guns off the UK coast? Naval gunnery drills in international waters are lawful. What is unusual is that the frigate chose to do so in one of the busiest shipping lanes on earth, 40 miles off a NATO naval base.
