US president Joe #Biden has approved a new national security memorandum ahead of Donald #Trump’s return to the White House that could serve as a road map for the incoming administration as it looks to counter growing cooperation among #China, #Iran, #NorthKorea and #Russia, the White House said Wednesday.

The officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity under ground rules set by the #WhiteHouse, said the classified memorandum would not be made public because of the sensitivity of some of its findings.

The document includes four broad recommendations: improving U.S. government interagency cooperation, speeding up the sharing of information with allies about the four adversaries, calibrating the U.S. government’s use of sanctions and other economic tools for maximum effectiveness, and bolstering preparation to manage simultaneous crises involving the adversaries.

The official said the document is intended to help the next administration build “capacity” as it shapes its policies on some the most difficult foreign policies it will face.

MI6 chief says Putin is sabre-rattling with nuclear weapons and Russia is behind #sabotage in #Europe

"Our security - #British, #French, #European and #transatlantic - will be jeopardised," he said.

"We have recently uncovered a staggeringly reckless campaign of Russian sabotage in Europe, even as Putin and his acolytes resort to #nuclear sabre-rattling to sow fear about the consequences of aiding #Ukraine," Moore said.

He stated that the expense of assisting Ukraine is clearly understood but added, "The cost of not doing so would be immeasurably larger. If #Putin succeeds, #China will consider the consequences, #NorthKorea will be emboldened, and #Iran will become much more dangerous."

The #BRICS leaders attended an informal dinner party.

Russia is holding a BRICS meeting with surprise visitors El Sisi of #Egypt and so called president of #Palestine Mohamed Abbas. Even #Turkey and #NorthKorea have sent delegates to the meeting and several African nations have also shown interest in joining the system. It is unclear if they announce any new members after this meeting, but it sure going to have a major impact on #dedolirization of the world economy.

The criminal reaction of Europe and US to freeze and confiscate assets of Russian citizens, not just state funds have woken up the world that they can't trust the west following their own rules and relying on them is nothing but a false feeling of safety.

One can cruise the origin of those frozen assets, but they are not much different than most of the wealth of criminal leaders of various countries who live a safe and protected life in #Europe and #US.

Not from the Onion: The DPRK sent 150 balloons filled with garbage and manure to South Korea, Yonhap news agency reported, citing Seoul's Joint Chiefs of Staff.

According to the South Korean military, the balloons began crossing the border on the evening of Tuesday, May 28, and fell in various locations across the country, reaching the southeastern province of South Gyeongsang.

"[We] sternly warn North Korea to immediately cease its inhumane and vulgar actions," South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said.

Accused by the West of importing weapons from North Korea, Russia on Thursday imposed the end of the UN sanctions monitoring system against Pyongyang and its nuclear program, a decision denounced by numerous members of the Security Council.

Moscow vetoed a draft resolution that extended for one year the mandate of the committee of experts that oversees these sanctions and was supported by 13 of the 15 members of the body. #China abstained.

"What Russia has done today undermines peace and security in the world, all to promote a corrupt agreement that Moscow has sealed" with Pyongyang, reacted Matthew Miller, spokesman for the US State Department.

North Korea has been subject to Security Council sanctions since 2006, mainly related to its nuclear program. These measures were reinforced several times in 2016 and 2017.

Russia's use of North Korean ballistic missiles not a sign of Moscow's depleted domestic capacity

Russia’s missile campaign against Ukraine’s cities and infrastructure is no longer limited by the rate of domestic production as North Korea becomes its top weapons supplier.

#Pyongyang has allegedly sent Moscow more than 1 million artillery rounds and the mass strikes on Dec. 30 and Jan. 2 provided the first direct evidence that Russia used North Korean missiles to attack a Ukrainian city, specifically Kharkiv.

Experts say this will allow Russia to intensify its attacks on #civilian targets, killing people, doing costly damage, and putting a strain on Ukraine’s air defenses.

The two heavily sanctioned autocracies have grown progressively closer since the start of Russia’s 2022 full-scale invasion.
