🇨🇳🇾🇪🇸🇦 China is now operating with a strategy built decades in advance. Following the Houthi blockade of the Bab el Mandeb, while the region faces growing disruption, China appears to be calmly maintaining access to its energy supplies through the Strait of Hormuz, while its commercial vessels continue transiting the Red Sea without facing significant interference.Why?China identified the world’s key strategic chokepoints years ago and began establishing military and logistical footholds near them long before today’s crises emerged.At present, two Chinese commercial vessels are reportedly loading oil at Yanbu and continuing their journey through the Red Sea toward the Arabian Sea. The Houthis have issued warnings and imposed a blockade, yet Chinese shipping continues to move.The reason is simple. China has a military presence in Djibouti, positioned near the Bab el Mandeb. Any serious attack on Chinese shipping could trigger a much stronger response.This is the advantage of long term strategic planning. China is not reacting to the crisis today. It positioned itself for it years ago. Video

🇺🇦 Ukraine’s drone revolution has started a war inside its own military.The latest leadership crisis in Kyiv has exposed a much bigger debate than a cabinet reshuffle.At its core is a fight between 2 visions of warfare: the Soviet-era model built around artillery, hierarchy and attrition, and a younger generation that believes drones, rapid innovation and lower troop losses will decide the future of war.That divide is embodied by former Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov.At 35, he became the face of Ukraine’s drone revolution, redirecting funding toward domestic drone production, reforming military procurement and pushing technology over traditional firepower.Supporters argue those reforms threatened entrenched interests inside the defense establishment, while critics of the old system say it has been too slow to adapt to a battlefield that has fundamentally changed.The protests that followed his removal weren’t just about 1 politician.They reflected a broader belief, especially among younger Ukrainians, that the country can’t fight a 21st century war with 20th century institutions.Syrskyi’s removal and the promotion of the more drone-friendly Mykhailo Drapatyi show that change is happening, but only partially.Fedorov remains outside the Defense Ministry, highlighting how institutions can embrace new ideas without giving up real power.A bigger question is whether Ukraine becomes the first country to fully hand military leadership to a drone-native generation, or whether the old command structure simply absorbs the technology while preserving the same hierarchy.The answer could shape not only Ukraine’s future, but how modern wars are fought for decades to come.Source: WarFronts YT / Writer: Lucas

According to the report, the threat was not specific to the aircraft itself, but the incident has renewed scrutiny over its defensive capabilities, as it lacks some of the advanced defensive systems carried by the current VC-25A and future VC-25B fleets.President Trump appeared to acknowledge those limitations earlier this week when, after being asked about the aircraft’s lack of antimissile defenses, he told reporters the jet would soon be taken out of service to be “maxed out” with additional upgrades, a process that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed would take approximately one month.Source: nytimes.com/2026/07/24/us/po…

Шоу продолжается: Как Дональд Трамп превратил перенесённый ужин корреспондентов в свой личный стендап


Возобновлённый ежегодный ужин Ассоциации корреспондентов Белого дома (WHCA) в Вашингтоне ждали с некоторой долей нервозности. Три месяца назад традиционный вечер в отеле Washington Hilton был сорван из-за вооружённого нападения у входа в банкетный зал. Тогда вечер экстренно отменили, а президента эвакуировали.

Когда же событие решили перенести на конец июля — перенеся его в более защищённый и камерный отель Waldorf Astoria — мало кто знал, чего ожидать. Однако Дональд Трамп быстро задал тон: трагедию он отверг, страх высмеял, а весь вечер превратил в часовой полит-стендап, где досталось и присутствующим в зале журналистам, и его постоянным оппонентам.

1. «Get Down!» и рэперша Ники Минаж

Трамп начал своё выступление без раскачки. Он сразу затронул тему апрельского покушения — «слона в комнате», о котором все думали, но боялись заговорить.

«Как я сказал ещё три месяца назад: шоу должно продолжаться. Но попытка массового убийства, которая могла произойти в апреле, была прямой атакой на нашу демократию», — заявил президент, прежде чем моментально сменить пафос на фирменную иронию.

Он вспомнил, как в суматохе апрельской эвакуации кто-то из агентов закричал в толпу: «Get down! Get down!» (что на английском означает как «Лягте на пол!», так и сленговое «Зажигай!»).

«Единственной, кто действительно понял, что это значит, была Ники Минаж, — невозмутимо пошутил Трамп. — Она просто начала исполнять тверк прямо посреди хаоса». Зал встретил эту шутку взрывом хохота.

2. 93% негатива и «Trump Derangement Syndrome»

Отшутившись по поводу безопасности, Трамп переключился на свою любимую мишень — прессу, сидевшую прямо перед ним в смокингах и вечерних платьях.

Президент заявил, что по отчётам его команды, 93% всех материалов о нём в СМИ носят негативный характер.

  • «93 процента! — с удивлением воскликнул Трамп. — Как, черт возьми, я вообще выиграл эти выборы с таким большим отрывом? В 80% я ещё могу поверить, но 93?!»

Он назвал банкетный зал «самым большим скоплением людей с синдромом помешательства на Трампе (Trump Derangement Syndrome), какое только собиралось в одном месте». Впрочем, досталось не только журналистам — Трамп прошёлся по ведущим вечерних шоу, чиновникам собственного кабинета и даже по собственным спичрайтерам, прямо со сцены критикуя шутки, написанные для него на телесуфлёре.

3. Залп по Демократам: Губернаторы, конгрессмены и «World War 11»

Политический блок речи Трампа превратился в настоящий роастинг ключевых фигур Демократической партии:

  • Гэвин Ньюсом: Трамп высмеял калифорнийские лесные пожары и недавние интервью губернатора, заявив: «Гэвин сказал, что мы должны бороться с огнём огнём. Единственное, что мы точно знаем про Ньюсома — он абсолютно не хочет бороться с огнём водой».
  • Ильхан Омар: Трамп припомнил конгрессвумен её конфуз в эфире, где она оговорилась и назвала Вторую мировую войну «World War 11» (11-й мировой войной), а также проехался по скандалам вокруг изменений в её финансовых декларациях.

4. Главный кульминационный момент: Кепка «Trump 2028»

Финал выступления получился в лучших традициях шоумена Трампа. Пообещав журналистам «помочь с рейтингами» и преподнести настоящий эксклюзив, президент прямо со сцены объявил:

«Я рад официально объявить о своём намерении баллотироваться на четвёртый срок!»

Трамп надел яркую красную кепку с надписью «Trump 2028», вызвав шок и замешательство в зале. Напомнив аудитории свои постоянные заявления о том, что он «побеждал трижды» (в 2016, 2020 и 2024 годах), он добавил, что у него это уже отлично получается.

И хотя секундой позже президент с улыбкой пояснил, что это шутка, и перешёл к серьезным словам благодарности, кадры Трампа в кепке «2028» мгновенно разлетелись по всем мировым соцсетям и новостным лентам.

Итог вечера

Возвращение Дональда Трампа на ужин корреспондентов показало: несмотря на все попытки сорвать мероприятие или устроить политический бойкот, президент США умеет держать удар. Он превратил потенциально напряжённый вечер после попытки нападения в развлекательное зрелище, доказав, что в жанре политической сатиры ему до сих пор мало равных.

Официальные заявления и хроника

  • White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) — официальное заявление Ассоциации корреспондентов Белого дома о переносе мероприятия на июль и усилении мер безопасности после апрельского инцидента.
  • Fox News Live Updates — прямая текстовая трансляция, хроника выступления Дональда Трампа в отеле Waldorf Astoria, детальный разбор его шуток, включая кепку «Trump 2028» и чествование офицера Секретной службы Виктора Гонсалеса.
  • The Guardian Report — аналитический материал о контексте возобновлённого ужина, мерах безопасности и реакции журналистского сообщества.
  • Wikipedia: 2026 WHCA Dinner Shooting — подробная статья-справка о происшествии 25 апреля 2026 года в отели Washington Hilton, задержании подозреваемого Коула Томаса Аллена и последующих событиях.

Куда пойти в Нью-Йорке 25 июля 2026 года: 9 культурных и бизнес-мероприятий


Суббота, 25 июля 2026 года, предлагает Нью-Йорку насыщенную летнюю программу: бесплатный джаз в парках Гарлема, китайская музыка и современный танец в Lincoln Center, электронный фестиваль в Центральном парке, классический концерт и деловой нетворкинг для предпринимателей.

Мы отобрали девять интересных событий, начиная с Манхеттена. В подборке есть как полностью бесплатные мероприятия, так и программы, требующие покупки билета или предварительной регистрации.

1. Китайская музыка и танцы в Lincoln Center

Chinatown Records & Dance with Red Silk Dancers

В полдень David Rubenstein Atrium превратится в пространство китайской музыки и танца. Проект Chinatown Records и коллектив Red Silk Dancers подготовили семейную программу, рассчитанную на посетителей всех возрастов.

Это хороший вариант для тех, кто хочет провести часть дня в помещении, познакомиться с культурой китайского Нью-Йорка и одновременно укрыться от возможной июльской жары.

Время: 12:00
Место: David Rubenstein Atrium, Lincoln Center, Манхеттен
Стоимость: бесплатно
Формат: музыка, танцы, семейная программа

Мероприятие входит в программу Chinese Arts Week фестиваля Summer for the City.

2. Современный танец на площади Lincoln Center

Shen Wei Dance Arts и Guangdong Modern Dance Company — MindScape

Вечером на Hearst Plaza выступят Shen Wei Dance Arts и Guangdong Modern Dance Company. Постановка MindScape соединяет современную хореографию, поэзию, абстрактную каллиграфию и живописные образы.

Время: 18:00
Место: Hearst Plaza, Lincoln Center
Стоимость: бесплатный вход
Формат: современный танец, визуальное искусство

Представление проходит на открытом воздухе и подходит для зрителей всех возрастов.

3. Фолк-рок и горловое пение группы Hanggai

Один из самых необычных концертов дня состоится на The Dance Floor в Lincoln Center. Группа Hanggai сочетает музыкальные традиции Внутренней Монголии, горловое пение, фолк, панк и современный рок.

Это не академический этнографический концерт, а энергичное сценическое шоу, в котором традиционные инструменты и вокальные техники соединяются с современной рок-музыкой.

Время: 19:00
Место: The Dance Floor, Lincoln Center
Стоимость: бесплатно
Формат: мировой фолк-рок, традиционная музыка

Концерт является частью Chinese Arts Week.

4. Классический концерт Elegant Impressions

Festival Orchestra of Lincoln Center — Eun Sun Kim Conducts Poulenc

Для поклонников классической музыки Lincoln Center предлагает вечернюю программу в David Geffen Hall. Дирижёр Eun Sun Kim представит произведения Дебюсси, де Фальи и Пуленка. В программе также участвует меццо-сопрано Taylor Raven.

Организаторы обещают сочетание французского импрессионизма, выразительной вокальной музыки и ярких оркестровых красок.

Место: Wu Tsai Theater, David Geffen Hall
Стоимость: платно

5. West Harlem Jazz Fest в St. Nicholas Park

В St. Nicholas Park пройдёт бесплатный концерт фестиваля West Harlem Jazz Fest. Летняя серия организована в исторических парках Гарлема и знакомит публику с местными джазовыми музыкантами.

Это один из лучших вариантов для спокойного летнего вечера: парк, живая музыка и атмосфера Гарлема без необходимости покупать билет.

Время: 18:00
Место: St. Nicholas Park, район 135th Street и St. Nicholas Avenue
Стоимость: бесплатно
Формат: джаз на открытом воздухе

Концерт 25 июля включён в официальное расписание фестиваля.

6. Stan Michels Jazz Festival в Fort Tryon Park

Ещё один бесплатный джазовый концерт состоится в северной части Манхеттена. Stan Michels Jazz Festival проходит на живописной набережной-променаде Fort Tryon Park.

В программе заявлены Marjorie Eliot, Rudel Drears и ансамбль, а открывать концерт должен Joseph Miller Trio.

Время: уточняется организаторами
Место: Stan Michels Promenade, Fort Tryon Park
Вход: со стороны северной части Fort Washington Avenue
Стоимость: бесплатно
Формат: джазовый фестиваль

На случай дождя организаторы предусматривают перенос в помещение OSA Church по адресу 178 Bennett Avenue. Перед поездкой следует повторно проверить часы проведения: страница мероприятия содержит неоднозначное отображение времени в календаре.

7. City of Water Day с Hila the Earth

Семьям с маленькими детьми подойдёт интерактивная экологическая программа City of Water Day with Hila the Earth.

Во время музыкально-театрального выступления детям расскажут о природе, воде и необходимости бережно относиться к окружающей среде. Формат рассчитан на активное участие зрителей, а не только на пассивный просмотр.

Время: 16:00–17:30

Программа предназначена прежде всего для маленьких детей и сопровождающих их взрослых.

8. Электронный фестиваль Maccabi House в Центральном парке

Adam Ten, Mita Gami, Darco, Malive и Monobase

На сцене SummerStage в Центральном парке состоится продолжительный электронный концерт, организованный проектом Maccabi House.

Adam Ten и Mita Gami известны смешением хауса, техно и ближневосточных музыкальных мотивов. Вместе с ними выступят Darco, Malive и Monobase.

Время: 15:00–22:00
Место: Capital One City Parks Foundation SummerStage, Central Park
Стоимость: платно
Формат: электронная музыка, танцевальный фестиваль

Это благотворительный, или benefit-концерт, а не бесплатная программа SummerStage. Цены на первичном и вторичном рынках могут существенно различаться, поэтому покупать билеты безопаснее через официального билетного партнёра площадки.

9. Вечерний нетворкинг для предпринимателей

Entrepreneur Networking Event @ Manhattan

Для владельцев малого бизнеса, стартаперов, инвесторов и специалистов пройдёт вечернее деловое мероприятие в VERSA.

Организаторы обещают неформальное общение, поиск потенциальных партнёров и обмен деловыми контактами. Это не конференция с длинными лекциями, а networking mixer, поэтому участникам стоит заранее подготовить короткое представление своего проекта и взять цифровую или обычную визитную карточку.

Время: 19:00–21:30
Место: VERSA, Манхеттен
Стоимость: платно, требуется регистрация
Формат: предпринимательство, профессиональные знакомства

Мероприятие организует EastWest Collective. Цена может меняться по мере продажи различных категорий билетов.

Как составить маршрут

Тем, кто хочет провести почти весь день на мероприятиях, можно начать в полдень с китайской программы в David Rubenstein Atrium, затем остаться в Lincoln Center на современный танец и концерт Hanggai.

Другой вариант — отправиться после обеда на электронный фестиваль SummerStage в Центральном парке. Для более спокойного вечера подойдут бесплатные джазовые концерты в St. Nicholas Park или Fort Tryon Park.

Предприниматели могут завершить день деловым нетворкингом в VERSA.

Что необходимо проверить перед выходом

Расписание летних мероприятий в Нью-Йорке может меняться из-за погоды, технических обстоятельств или ограничений вместимости. Даже бесплатные программы иногда требуют предварительной регистрации, участия в лотерее или получения бесплатного билета.

Перед поездкой рекомендуется проверить официальную страницу выбранного события, наличие билетов, правила входа и возможный перенос в помещение.

Официальные источники и страницы мероприятий

Важно: перед поездкой проверяйте время начала, наличие регистрации,
стоимость билетов и возможные изменения из-за погоды непосредственно на сайте организатора.
