China Lands Rocket, Russia Launches N. Korean Missiles, and US-Israeli Theater
- China successfully lands another space launch system, expanding reusability and positioning itself to match, then exceed the US in terms of annual space launches;- Russia is reportedly using larger numbers of Kn-23 ballistic missiles from North Korea, which indirectly suggests greater Chinese support than often reported;
- Israel’s strikes on Syria are meant to create the illusion of Israeli friction with both the US and Syria - to help minimize public awareness of Syria’s role as a US proxy alongside Israel vs. both Iran and its regional allies;
