🇺🇸/🇲🇽 Hegseth Gives Order to Enhance Military Mission at Southern Border

Until now, the U.S. military mission at the southern border has been static. Service members have been engaged mostly in stationary detection and monitoring activities. But no longer.

On March 20, 2025, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order allowing service members involved in the mission to do more and conduct their mission on foot or on board Stryker armored vehicles.

🇨🇳🇹🇼🚤 Stairway To Taiwan – The Chinese Amphibious Bridging System

The Chinese designs discussed here appear to be self-propelled. Therefore, despite termed “barges”, they are more accurately seagoing vessels capable of transiting across significant distances unassisted. This aspect carries importance for a notional invasion of the Taiwanese main.

Primary use for Type 2 is as a direct connector of the bridging system to the shore. Type 2 features shorter legs for shallow waters, no extended platforms enabling the berthing of ferries, and possibly waterjet propulsion.

[Type 1] features longer, sturdier legs, suggesting a requirement to operate in deeper waters or further from shore. Furthermore the Type 1 appears to have propellers and rudders fitted, again suggesting an optimisation for operation at increased draft.

Type 3 is the terminal element of any combination with the other platforms discussed here. Type 3 would likely facilitate disembarkation from the largest Ro/ro-vessels furthest from shore.

📈 Copper to hit $12,000 this year, say major trading groups

The price of copper is likely to set new records this year at $12,000 or more a tonne, according to several of the world’s largest trading houses, lifted by growing global demand and the threat of US President Donald Trump’s trade tariffs.

The London copper price hit a record of almost $11,000 in May 2024. After falling back late last year, it has risen in 2025 and was trading at about $10,000 on Tuesday. 

“I think we’ll see higher than $12,000,” said Kostas Bintas, global head of metals and minerals at Mercuria. The copper market was “experiencing tightness”, he added.

🇪🇹🇪🇷 Tensions Escalate as Ethiopia and Eritrea Mass Troops on Border

Reports indicate that Ethiopia and Eritrea are amassing troops along their shared border, raising fears of renewed conflict. This comes as Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has openly expressed Ethiopia’s urgent need for a port "by all means necessary," with #Assab emerging as a likely target.

Compounding the situation is Ethiopia’s ongoing tension with Tigray, where Eritrea has played a key role. With border militarization intensifying, questions arise is Ethiopia preparing to assert its claim on a port militarily, or is another regional conflict brewing?

📝🤨 Various online commentators question whether the messages were leaked intentionally:

🔺 Josiah Lippincott: Normally IDF-veteran Jeffrey Goldberg would have to wait at least 2 or 3 hours for Mossad to give him the hacked communications.

By adding him straight to the gc, the admin simply cut out the middleman.

🔺 Paul Skallas: Looks like an intentional leak to me. They are even messaging to each other like there will be a large audience reading this.

🔺 Cynical Publius: The minute I read the chat my very first thought was that Goldberg was specifically and deliberately included so that he would leak what he saw to the public. The idea was to let Europe know just how unhappy American leadership is with Europe's unwillingness to pull its weight militarily. The backchannel, seemingly accidental nature of that reveal was powerful and I believe intentional.

Also, as someone who has read his fair share of Top Secret/SCI war plans, this ain't it.

🔺 FischerKing: It was Jeffrey Goldberg who tried to link Sadaam Hussein to Al Qaeda (and by implication to 9/11) in a 2002 New Yorker article - part of the overall effort to get us into the Iraq war. Not a guy you want with access to anything confidential.

🔺 ZMT: Goldberg isn’t your average editor-in-chief. He’s ex-IDF and notorious for pushing the Iraq war.

🇮🇱🇵🇸 Israel readies plans for occupation of Gaza

Israel’s military has drawn up plans to reconquer Gaza in a bid to finally defeat Hamas, paving the way for a long-running occupation of the besieged enclave.

The proposal — yet to be approved by Israel’s security cabinet — was formulated by the new Israel Defense Forces chief of staff with the unofficial backing of far-right ministers who have long demanded drastically harsher tactics to fight the militant group, said several people briefed on the plans.

Two officials said the plans were made possible by US President Donald Trump’s return to the White House, which freed up Israel from the Biden administration’s insistence that it not reoccupy Gaza or annex territory.

“The prior administration wanted us to end the war. Trump wants us to win the war,” a third Israeli official said. “There is a supreme American interest in defeating Hamas as well.”

🇮🇱🇵🇸 Israeli military to increase activity in additional areas in Gaza

📝 Emanuel Fabian: Defense Minister Israel Katz warns Palestinians in Gaza that the military will soon operate in additional areas of the Strip, telling them to learn from civilians in Beit Lahiya who have been protesting against Hamas.

"Gaza residents, the IDF will soon operate with intensity in additional areas in Gaza and you will be required to evacuate for your protection from the combat zones," he says in a video statement.

"The plans are ready and approved. Hamas is risking your life and will make you lose your homes and more and more land that will be added to the Israeli defense array," Katz says, referring to an expanding buffer zone along the Gaza border.

"Learn from the residents of Beit Lahiiya, as they did, you should also demand the removal of Hamas from Gaza and the immediate release of all Israeli hostages. This is the only way to stop the war," he adds.

The log proves that National Security Advisor Mike Waltz was the one to add Goldberg to the group, as well as claims by Goldberg that information about strike timing, weapons systems, and targets were posted in the chat by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth hours before the start of the strike operation in Yemen.

Bottled water, energy bars, a flashlight and more: the EU is pushing for every household in the 27-country bloc to have a three-day survival kit ready in case crisis strikes — be it a conflict or natural disaster.

EU crisis management commissioner Hadja Lahbib told AFP the idea would be formally presented Wednesday as part of a broader “preparedness strategy” for the bloc.

In practice, Brussels would like every citizen to be equipped for 72 hours of self-sufficiency, said Lahbib, in line with a key report last year on strengthening Europe’s civilian and military preparedness.

🇺🇸🚢 Trump Appoints Top Naval Strategist Brent Sadler To MARAD

In a significant and long-awaited move that could reshape the trajectory of American maritime policy, retired U.S. Navy Captain Brent Sadler, a former submariner, has been officially nominated by President Trump to serve as the next Administrator of the Maritime Administration (MARAD) and, by extension, Commandant of the U.S. Merchant Marine.

This is not just a personnel change, it’s a potential turning point.

For decades, MARAD has suffered from institutional neglect, manpower shortages, policy drift, rape scandals, and a chronic inability to keep pace with the geopolitical stakes of a maritime century. Now, the nomination of Sadler signals a potential course correction.

Sadler, a veteran naval officer and senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation (the think tank behind Project 2025 but also several maritime initiatives), has been one of the few voices in Washington consistently beating the drum on maritime readiness, sealift capacity, and the critical role of the U.S. Merchant Marine in strategic competition. He’s not just another bureaucrat with a résumé. He’s a serious policy strategist who understands that America bleeds influence without hulls in the water, flags on sterns, and skilled mariners at the helm.

🇨🇳🛰🇺🇸 China now has a 'kill mesh' in orbit, Space Force vice chief says

The United States is approaching a turning point in space security, and needs to step up its game before Russia and China close the gap in capabilities, a U.S. Space Force general said.

Vice Chief of Space Operations Gen. Michael Guetlein spoke at the 16th annual McAleese "Defense Programs" Conference in Arlington, Virginia on Tuesday (March 18), warning the Space Force needs to rethink how it defends the country's satellites.

The shift comes as China and Russia have ramped up displays of orbital warfare capabilities over the past few years. Some of these incidents have more publicly-facing than others, such as Russia's anti-satellite (ASAT) test in 2022, which created a cloud of supersonic debris in low-Earth orbit. That same year, a Chinese satellite "grappled" one of the nation's defunct satellites and towed it into a "graveyard orbit."

China, in particular, is advancing its intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) technologies. "The Chinese ISR capabilities are becoming very capable. They have gone from what we used to call a 'Kill Chain' to a 'Kill Mesh'," he said, describing an integrated network that intertwines ISR satellites with weapon systems.

🇺🇸❌🇾🇪📱 — The editor-in-chief of Neoconservative outlet The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, was accidentally added to a Signal group chat used by senior members of the Trump administration’s national security team, including Vice President JD Vance, National Security Adviser Michael Waltz, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

The group was set up to coordinate U.S. military operations targeting Iran-backed Houthi forces in Yemen.

On March 15, before the strikes were publicly announced, the editor received detailed messages outlining the planned operation—covering weapons, targets, and timing. Though initially unsure if the messages were real, he later confirmed their accuracy as events unfolded exactly as described.

Goldberg says that, despite initially doubting about the veracity of the group, then noticed that the plans were actually real and legitimate when reports of bombings against Houthi terrorists emerged, which aligned with the messages he had received confirming the operation.

At the The Atlantic article, Goldberg quoted that he didn't include some texts from the group, because leaking the information could have obstructed or caused problems for American operations and active-duty personnel, specially on US CENTCOM area
