Hegseth RIPS Microsoft for Betrayal |Chinese Working on U.S Defense Systems, Microsoft Admits Breach
Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth confirmed that the Defense Department’s cloud services were previously supported by China-based engineers, raising national security concerns.
Microsoft admitted to using teams in China for technical assistance but assured that no China-based staff will be involved moving forward.
ProPublica revealed that limited U.S. oversight left critical Pentagon systems vulnerable, with personnel lacking the expertise to manage them effectively.
Amid growing tensions with Beijing, Microsoft has pledged stricter controls to secure DoD cloud services against potential foreign risks.

The Pentagon has confirmed the long-anticipated test date for Trump's billion-dollar "Golden Dome" missile defense system—just weeks before the 2028 election. Announced in May, Trump’s campaign-era promise aims to create a space-based shield against missile threats. The timing raises eyebrows, with defense experts questioning if this is military strategy or political theater. Led by Gen. Michael Guetlein and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the program faces tight deadlines, scaling challenges, and skyrocketing costs. With $25B already allocated, the pressure to deliver—both technically and politically—is mounting.

Tensions in the South China Sea are escalating as the United States reaffirms its military alliance with the Philippines. During a high-profile visit to the Pentagon, US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth welcomed President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. with full honours, signalling a deepening of defence ties.
The US vowed to defend Philippine forces and assets in the Pacific, directly warning China against continued aggression in disputed waters. Marcos’ upcoming meeting with U.S President Donald Trump is expected to further solidify the alliance, with defense cooperation and tariffs on the agenda.

The Pentagon is facing yet another high-profile departure as Justin Fulcher, a senior advisor to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, is set to step down after only six months on the job. Fulcher is now the sixth senior official to leave the department since Hegseth's controversial appointment, raising serious questions about the stability and leadership within one of the world's most powerful military institutions. The news, first reported by CBS News as a firing, was quickly disputed by the Pentagon, with spokesman Sean Parnell calling the claim "false" and unfair to Fulcher.
This wave of resignations comes amid a turbulent tenure for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. He has been at the center of multiple scandals, most notably a major security breach involving a Signal chat group discussing sensitive military operations, such as strikes in Yemen. In an unprecedented move, Hegseth reportedly added an editor from The Atlantic to this top-secret chat, a scandal that sent shockwaves through the defense community.
Justin Fulcher himself was no stranger to conflict within the Pentagon's walls. He reportedly stormed out of a heated meeting with the Pentagon's DOGE team in April and later claimed the Pentagon Force Protection Agency was actively searching for him. This incident allegedly infuriated Hegseth, who then personally confronted DOGE team lead Yinon Weiss for targeting his advisor. Despite the drama, Fulcher's departure statement was diplomatic, calling his time working with the Pentagon's personnel "incredibly inspiring." This video breaks down the full story behind the chaos at the Pentagon.

Donald Trump has launched a blistering attack on former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, accusing her and her husband, Paul Pelosi, of insider stock trading worth hundreds of millions. In a fiery online post, Trump mocked the couple’s uncanny market success, alleging they used confidential policy information for profit. He cited controversial trades in Visa, Tesla, and Microsoft tied to major legislative and government contract decisions. With Pelosi’s portfolio valued between $264M and $413M, Trump is calling for accountability—and hinting that jail could be on the horizon.

In a shocking cyber breach, Chinese state-sponsored hackers reportedly infiltrated the U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) by exploiting critical vulnerabilities in Microsoft’s SharePoint software. The attack—linked to groups like Linen Typhoon, Violet Typhoon, and Storm-2603—marks one of the most serious intrusions into America’s nuclear weapons design systems to date. Although no classified data appears to have been stolen, the breach has triggered alarm at the Pentagon and within U.S. cybersecurity circles.

Iran has launched a missile strike on Be’er Sheva, directly targeting what it claims is a Microsoft office embedded in Israel’s top cyber-military infrastructure. The attack follows a prior strike on Soroka Hospital, as Tehran escalates pressure on what it calls “aggression-supporting” entities. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards claim the targeted site is part of an IDF-linked intelligence and AI network. Israeli officials report no fatalities, but the impact on tech and defense collaborations could be massive. Who really works inside this cyber zone? What are the implications of Iran striking private tech targets?

In a major shift, U.S. President Donald Trump has approved a fresh $300 million military aid package to Ukraine, reportedly including rare Patriot surface-to-air missiles and medium-range rockets. The decision follows a brief and controversial Pentagon pause ordered by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, a known skeptic of increased aid to Kiev.
Trump’s move marks the first use of his Presidential Drawdown Authority, allowing emergency arms transfers directly from U.S. stockpiles. While the Pentagon claimed the pause was a limited stockpile review, it had caused concern among European allies and Ukrainian officials. Secretary of State Marco Rubio later clarified that most weapons shipments were never stopped. Trump, who has reopened ceasefire talks with Russia, acknowledged the high cost of Patriot systems but said Ukraine still needs them. The Kremlin has warned the continued weapons flow contradicts peace efforts and further complicates diplomacy.

In a dramatic turnaround, the Trump administration has resumed shipping weapons to Ukraine after a brief but controversial pause ordered by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The move had caught even White House officials off guard and temporarily halted deliveries of key systems including Patriot missiles, GMLRS rockets, and 155 mm Howitzer rounds. Trump claimed no knowledge of the pause, stating he hadn’t given the order. Pentagon officials say the review was part of a broader stockpile assessment.
But amid growing pressure from both allies and U.S. lawmakers, shipments resumed quietly—now including precision-guided rockets and artillery shells. Trump cited Russia’s rising brutality and President Putin’s conduct as reasons for restoring deliveries. The weapons—especially the 155 mm rounds—are critical in Ukraine’s defense. With the largest drone attack yet launched by Russia, Trump’s decision underscores the escalating urgency of the war. Over $67 billion in U.S. military aid has been sent since 2022.

The India US Tariffs issue is grabbing global attention. With Trump imposing an additional 25% tariff on Indian goods, raising the total to 50%, serious questions are being raised. Why is India being targeted for Russian oil imports while China escapes sanctions? The India US Tariffs move could be linked to Operation Sindoor, energy geopolitics, and Trump's global ambitions. Is this trade pressure a diplomatic tool? The India US Tariffs episode could define the future of Indo-US ties.

In a bold diplomatic and military move, India hosted Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. with full state honours—while simultaneously dispatching warships for joint patrols in the South China Sea. INS Delhi, INS Shakti and INS Kiltan sailed alongside Philippine vessels inside Manila’s exclusive economic zone, triggering a subtle yet unmistakable warning to China. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs reaffirmed support for freedom of navigation, calling the waters part of the “global commons.”
The joint drill coincided with Marcos’ five-day India visit, where the two nations signed a landmark Strategic Partnership agreement to boost defence, maritime cooperation, disaster relief and cyber security. While India didn’t name China, Beijing’s rebuke of “third-party interference” left little ambiguity. The coordinated political hospitality and military manoeuvres signal India’s rising Indo-Pacific assertiveness and a strategic alignment with one of China’s fiercest regional rivals—firmly placing New Delhi in the emerging anti-China security web across the Indo-Pacific.
