China conducts first public ICBM test launch in decades - UPI.com

China's military test-fired an intercontinental ballistic missile Wednesday morning, according to defense officials, marking its first public test of the weapon in decades.

According to a U.S. Defense Department report from October of last year, China had about 500 ICBM launchers and about 350 missiles.

It said Beijing has been constructing hundreds of new ICBM silos meant to increase the peacetime readiness of its nuclear force.

The U.S. military said last year it expects China to have more than 1,000 nuclear warheads by 2030.

China, which practices a "no first use" nuclear weapons policy, has about 500 nuclear warheads, up from 410 last year, according to the report.

The launch comes amid rising tensions in the Indo-Pacific where China has been attempting to expand its influence, predominantly through might, and North Korea continues to unveil military hardware and test new weapons.

Biden's logic for Billions to Ukraine & Gaza is such a shit show.

April 2024

Among expenditures in the security supplemental package is more than $60 billion for support to Ukraine.

"This is directly in the United States' national security interest," Biden said. "If Putin triumphs in Ukraine, the next move of Russian forces could very well be a direct attack on a NATO ally."

"That's why we're supporting and surging support now to Ukraine, to stop Putin from drawing the United States into a war in Europe."

The supplemental funding also provides $9.5 billion for humanitarian assistance for civilians in Gaza, Sudan, Ukraine and other populations caught in conflict zones across the globe.

"This bill includes $1 billion for additional humanitarian aid in Gaza," he said. "We're going to immediately secure that aid and surge it ... including food, medical supplies [and] clean water."

Supplemental Bill Becomes Law, Provides Billions in Aid for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan

President Joe Biden said that the security supplemental — worth about $95 billion — is not just an investment in the security of U.S. partners around the world, but also in U.S. security at home and
