Little ships recreate historic rescue of Allied troops from Dunkirk, 85 years on
Saturday, 31 May 2025 () Eighty-five years on from the historic rescue of hundreds of thousands of Allied troops from France, a flotilla of little ships have recreated the biggest evacuation in military history.
Taiwan has begun live-fire HIMARS drills at Jiupeng base, testing U.S.-supplied systems amid rising tensions in the South China Sea. The military exercise—part of a broader training campaign through June 2025—includes high-precision ATACMS missile launches and underscores Taiwan’s defense readiness. The U.S. has accelerated weapon shipments, with Taiwan set to receive 29 HIMARS launchers and hundreds of missiles by 2027. As Chinese aggression intensifies, regional allies including the U.S. are reinforcing their presence. Taiwan’s show of strength sends a clear message: it’s prepared and watching closely.
