The U.S. military is preparing to expand its blockade in coming days by boarding Iran-linked oil tankers and seizing commercial ships in international waters, according to U.S. officials quoted by the WSJ

@HoustonHizzoner @thehill It's gossip if it's about a random like you or me. When its about the FBI director is become a national security issue that could be leveraged against the country. Not a thing to take lightly as you do with a simple ad hominem

@thehill It’s not reporting, it’s gossip. The same reporter is responsible for the false Kavanaugh stories.

"Short on the back, please. Didn't you hear a strange noise?" Beirut - 4/18/26 By AFP Hassan Ammar

“Somebody shorted the oil markets today by hundreds of millions of dollars exactly 20 minutes before Trump made his announcement that everything was going to be great. And if you see that once, it could be a coincidence. But that’s happened at least three times, if not more, since the war began. That’s a pattern.” “And what that suggests is that there’s rampant corruption and insider self-dealing going on with the president’s up and down predictions of what’s going to happen tomorrow in the negotiations and in the markets. And I’m sure that that’s being investigated. We can’t prove it, but it seems like the corruption that we’re seeing in our government, maybe not the President, but people who are in the know and the markets, is having a priority over the actual negotiations to end the war. And that’s a crazy thing that our system has never seen before.”

People don’t really understand how obscenely large the oil and gas industry actually is. Worldwide oil revenue is $4 trillion per year. Every year the oil industry collects more money than the US government. Not the US military, the entire US government. Every year the oil industry allocates $850 billion of capex to new projects, and those new projects increase the oil supply by about 1.8%. It costs half a trillion dollar a year, for every 1% of growth. Meanwhile, people think the $500 billion datacenter buildout is “unprecedented”. A year with $500 billion capex means a downturn and mass layoffs in the oil industry. It’s just a different scale. The same industry sells $2 trillion a year of gas. So $6 Trillion of revenue in 2025, and projected $8 trillion of revenue for 2026. There is a reason that the world has multiple “petrostates” with huge sovereign wealth funds, but no other type of mono-economy country with giant trillion dollar liquid funds. Many countries, such as Saudi Arabia produce oil and gas at 70% profit margins. So huge volumes and huge margins. That’s how you build multiple multitrillion dollar sovereign wealth funds that own a meaningful chunk of all global equities. These countries make huge equity returns in times of stability and huge oil returns in times of volatility. My point here, is that the datacenter capex can go much higher. It’s currently $6-700 billion, but for a major boom it could be double this. And the “oh noe! We need lots more datacenter plumbers!” is just a complete joke, when there’s an industry 10X bigger that literally does nothing but lay pipes everywhere. Embarrassing ignorance. Hyperscalers are still only using cashflow, and still each sitting on $100 billion cash reserves. They need to get off the pot and go and build some stuff, because it’s difficult to take them seriously watching them flap about in “hardware” aka heavy industry, for their fourth year.

lol who did this.

Your smart TV is taking screenshots of your screen every 15 seconds. Not a guess. Not a theory. A peer-reviewed study by researchers at UC Davis, UCL, and UC3M tested it. Samsung TVs: every minute. LG TVs: every 15 seconds. Even when you're just using it as a monitor. Here's how to turn it off for every brand:

@TimZitter @IAPonomarenko You have no fking clue what you're talking about and thats why you need a computer to think for you. That thing is flying/scoring since almost 2 years with previous footage and even a russian drone recording them. Go back to linkedin where you belong

@IAPonomarenko Till second 0:14 real images, after that unfortunately CGI

Who would have thought that the old Yak-52 training planes would get a new lease on life in the war in Ukraine and would be shooting down Russian drones. So cool!

@IAPonomarenko Was already flying 2 years ago. I bet they dont have much space left now for painting. Героям слава !

@JirkaFait @IAPonomarenko Its a old traning plane, guns were removed long time ago. Also better to engage them sideway, as you saw on video they explode fairly quickly. Better not to be right behind them

@IAPonomarenko Probably stupid question, but why don't they reload plane machine guns? Would it be like shooting boar with RPG kind of stuff (too expensive)? Or is there simply no ammo left for these type of guns?

@NateSilver538 Mean they know something we dont. Like a open bar on all data from them for the actual admin. Would make sense to not build your futur strat with those tools if its the case

Does it also require them to drive a horse-and-buggy to work wtf

@ChristopherJM Axios rn

This is not new intel or information. Ukriane and the Trump administration said this last year. For example, this October 2025 report which says up to 5,000 Cubans have participated in Russia’s war on Ukraine: reuters.com/world/americas…

@Archer83Able @AnkouZ @Jaktare No official words on this but 24 Rafales are in Jordan & UAE "They shot down "dozens" of Iranian drones over the skies of the Emirates. A source claims that "the Rafales take off and return after three-quarters of an hour, their ammunition exhausted…" lexpress.fr/secret-defense…

@AnkouZ @Jaktare could be indeed

French Dassault Rafale fighter jet intercepting an Iranian Shahed/Geran-type long-range strike drone with an air-to-air missile (presumably MICA-EM/IR) over Erbil Governorate in northern Iraq this afternoon.

@GarenBakalian @Osinttechnical you missing a variable, how much valuable was the target? Always happend when they have the brain sized like a pocket calculator.

@Osinttechnical Again same story who killed who - the 600k mica missile or the 40k shahed ? not even counting for the Rafale fuel cost, or depreciation, the pilote salary, his formation cost ...

Footage of a (likely French) Dassault Rafale shooting down an Iranian attack drone over northern Iraq today.

@siwrcw03 @Osinttechnical Protecting french soldiers on north Irak, they are there since 10 years and had some casulties fews week ago with 1 kia

@Osinttechnical What are the French doing??? Have they decided to pitch in at the party, even though most of the work is done??
