ratner. dr. ratner: ok, great. good afternoon, everyone. i would like to take this opportunity today to speak about the newly declassified pictures and videos shared by the department today that depicts the p.l.a. sharp increase in risky and operational behavior in the east and south china seas. and in particular i would like to discuss why it represents such a significant concern. as many of you know, every year for over 20 years it appear more -- the department of defense has released the china military power report. it is an important document because it is the department's authoritative public assessment of the p.l.a. and role it plays in helping to realize beijing's broader ambitions. this year's report will be out soon, and taken together with today's announcements, it represents the most comprehensive depiction to date of this highly concerning behavior by the p.l.a. last year's c.m.p.r. noted that p.l.a. fighter jets were increasingly engaging in risky and coercive behavior, this year's provides a much-clearer estimate of that distu

ratner explained them. those accidents could lead to miscalculation. we must prevent these from happening in the theater. so let me be clear. intercepts happen every day around the world. the vast majority are conducting safely and without incident. and there's no reasons for the intercepts with the p.r.c. in the indo-pacific region to be any different. i'm here today because it's operational commanders number one responsibility to ensure the safety of our service members. and it's a responsibility i take very seriously. so highlighting these behaviors, and ensuring that we can prevent them, is a top priority. i want to thank you again for allowing me to be here today and i look forward to your questions. >> a quick note at the top, keep your questions to the topic. reporter: how concerned are you that you will not have the assets you need given that there's two carriers. how will we can't to deter china. and for dr. ratner, given that there's a second conflict have you been able to speak to any of your partners or allies about increasing production to

not seem to be a bygone theorem that bears his name, or so says the american mathematician bruce ratnertablet stored in yelskoye university, she comes from babylon, as ratner proves, it depicts an example of the use of the theorem... a mountain 100 years before his birth. according to the mathematician , the famous greek simply popularized a formula already known to him, which, as the american emphasizes, does not detract from his merits to science, and the authorship was then simply attributed to pythagoras by his students who adored him. do you have a modern car? this means that only the best motor oil must be used in its engine. but how to choose it? the answer is simple: study chemistry composition: used oil, which will demonstrate both the efficiency of its operation and the technical condition of the car engine. the analysis shows the condition of the engine, as well as the result of the oil and the need for its replacement. for example, a low iron content indicates the absence of significant wear on the engine cylinder block, and a high base number indicates a large reserve of de

the late michael ratner of self costs rights off his boil gave you receive the noise in the other legal scholars have laid up the case that you can invoke the genocide convention here. and i think that this is something that governments who claim to be in solidarity with the palestinians around the world can and should do regardless of what the polo office as the united nations says. because they're not representing the policy and the people who are very effectively at all. so i think that's, that's a major thing that is totally under utilized in terms of how to actually create a framework for a solution here. as so much to unpack. but unfortunately, we have to leave it right there. sam, who is saying, thank you so much. be sure to subscribe to sam's work at jose need dot sub stack dot com. thank you. right? that is going to do it for this episode of modus operandi the show that digs deep in the foreign policy and current affairs. i'm your host manila, cham thank you so much for tuning, and we'll see you again next time. figure out the m o, the look forward to talking to you all that te
