//BLUF: CHINA UNDERTAKES LARGE SCALE MILITARY EXERCISES IVO TAIWAN. BURMA EARTHQUAKE RECOVERY CONTINUES. TESLA ATTACKS REMAIN CONSTANT.//
-----BEGIN TEARLINE-----
-International Events-
Far East: China has begun another series of military exercises in the Taiwan Strait, and in the waters surrounding Taiwan. Per the Chinese Ministry of Defense, this latest large-scale drill is largely serving as a "severe warning and forceful containment against Taiwan independence".
Southeast Asia: Recovery efforts from the Burmese earthquake continue, as the widespread damage throughout the region becomes more apparent. So far the death toll has surpassed 2,719 victims, according to Myanmar's ruling military government. Humanitarian aid has been slow to flow into the region, and most areas hardest hit by the earthquake remain out of communication with the outside world.
AC: Much of the region remains without electricity, which along with the communications outages, has complicated assessments of how bad this crisis truly is.
-HomeFront-
USA: The attacks on Tesla vehicles have continued to simmer, with limited increases in vandalism incidents in major cities. Following the uptick in these types of attacks, various supporter-protest movements (in support of Tesla and Elon Musk) have taken root as well. Many of these supportive-protests have also been met with counter-protests in most cases, sometimes resulting in clashes between groups. Over the weekend, a pro-Musk protester was intentionally struck by a vehicle of a counter-protester at a protest event in Idaho. The Meridian Police Department arrested the 70-year-old anti-Musk protester at the scene, and charged him with aggravated battery.
New Mexico: The GOP Headquarters was firebombed over the weekend in Albuquerque. One of the entrances to the facility was destroyed by an improvised incendiary/explosive device early Sunday morning. Anti-ICE graffiti was spray painted at the scene by the assailants, who have not been identified.
Indiana: Yesterday evening, a prominent cybersecurity and cryptography professor at Indiana University was fired after the FBI raided two of his residences under mysterious circumstances. XiaoFeng Wang, a well known crypto and cyber expert, remains missing following the searches.

Analyst Comments:
While very few details of the Indiana incident have been released or even acknowledged, over the past few months, both the United States and China have been on a spy-hunting spree. 6x Chinese nationals were arrested in the Philippines a week ago for allegedly spying on US warships in Subic Bay. Two weeks ago, China sentenced one of their researchers (at an undisclosed educational institution) to death for spying.
As such, it's possible that this is related to Wang's disappearance after the raids. Usually, rooting out spies is a tit-for-tat affair; the Chinese bag one of ours, and we get one of theirs (or at least try to). Of note, China has sentenced all of the spies they have caught to death, while the United States obviously does not.
Outside the realm of espionage, more overt actions are being undertaken to beat the drums of war in the Pacific. Though the Chinese drills in the Taiwan Strait were not announced with much notice, the maneuvers so far are largely a continuation of the same posturing and training seen before. Over the past few years, China has been engaging in increasingly complex drills as their proficiency improves. In short, the training is working, and Chinese forces are learning and gaining significant experience in combined arms warfare. Of course, the unspoken factor of war remains extremely relevant regarding any potential military campaign in Taiwan...no plan survives first contact with the enemy. In other words, China can train all they want, but when the missiles start flying for real, it will become exceptionally clear that the modern Chinese army has no real combat experience, and zero experience in conducting a Large Scale Combat Operation (LSCO). This does not mean that China is to be underestimated however, but it does mean that China may learn many lessons the hard way when the time comes.

I'm unsure of the answer bit in this case perhaps it's better to ask for forgiveness than to beg for permission. Factor in the risk:reward
If it hasn't moved in some time you could claim you lost your seed phrase. I wouldn't risk filing a false report, the punishment may be harsher than "tax evasion". #BoatingAccident

I'm making the following observation after quietly watching from the nostr:nprofile1qqsq8vuzjpy3n4rd9ttea70h27uplwdesr93aeyfnt4j3nyae5a4wwqpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhs070nag and nostr:nprofile1qqsv2ceqtknnt7l97hteewxyctry0c3ekt2kq7frt5dssaq5mxst44gpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuum5dahx2u3wvdhk6qgswaehxw309ucngvpwvcmh5tnfduq3vamnwvaz7tmzd96xxmmfdejhytnnda3kjctve2zs5s profiles, which I recommended to the local co-op to circumvent increasing censorship and provide the ability for P2P transactions in the perferred currency, and my own early exploration with the original nostr:nprofile1qqsq659qz5apw3lnzq9yvcjwv95xma3wtdkf5emcel8wflh2j7vn0sqprfmhxue69uhhymn0wd68ytn0deex2mnyv4ezucm0d5hsz8rhwden5te0df5kuemvv5hxxctjd3hhxttrv33zuar0wqhsz9thwden5te0vdshymr0wvkkxerz9e6x7up0uv5ncu profile when the clients were still a little slapstick.
I don't have a problem with the discussions on here, in fact I use the fine content curated by #nostriches to cleanse my palette after exposing my soul to legacy platforms and the homicide inducing click-bait reinforcement algorithm employeed. But I thought I would share as I have seen discussions about #nostr #onboarding specifically related to how the community is percieved.
For me, nostr is like the Internet before smartphones removed that small technical barrier required to interact with people with BBS, IRC, or later on, ICQ. It seperates people that are (on the most part) highly inquisitive, experemtal, devoted, passionate, knowledgeable, and generous with information from people that are not.
I'm aware that the social media aspect to nostr is but a tiny slice of the pie, but it is what a lot of people on here focus on. I just think those wanting nostr to rise in usage should be careful for what they wish for. At the moment it seems like an inevitability that there will be large scale adoption of nostr, but I don't feel the need or desire to accelerate it, especially not to an audience unwilling to stand here in this new digital frontier.

On This Day - 2004, March 31st
Fallujah, Iraq. Scott Helvenston, Jerry Zovko, Wesley Batalona and Mike Teagu - private contractors employed by Blackwater - were escorting a convey of eating utensils through Fallujah when they were ambushed by insurgents dressed as Iraqi Police. After killing the four contractors the insurgents slipped into the maze of alleys and backstreets as a crowd of locals gathered and begun mutilating the bodies, 2 of which were hung from a main bridge across the Euphrates River. These events led up to The First Battle of Fallujah (Operation Vigilant Resolve).

I apologize to anyone that is distressed due to this content, that is not my intention. I'm not even sure this will be seen. I feel weak for needing to express it, the smell of decaying flesh in the desert heat fills my nostrils everywhere I go, and it will remain that way for the next week or so, and come again next year, and the year after, ad nauseam. Fuck I need a drink.

Sorry man, was being sarcastic. Tongue-and-cheek dig at the bitcoincentric community on Nostr. Someone with real knowledge will chime in
