Qatar's CEO just gave the most devastating energy interview of 2026. And the White House called it "temporary disruptions." Let that contrast land. 👇 What Saad al-Kaabi told Reuters: -He warned the US Energy Secretary "almost daily" about consequences of striking Iran's facilities -ExxonMobil and ConocoPhillips were repeatedly warned -He received "zero prior warning" before Ras Laffan was hit -"The cold boxes are gone… completely destroyed" -10,000 people evacuated in 24 hours , zero casualties -"This has taken the whole region back 10-20 years" -"How I feel is difficult to describe" The actual damage scorecard: 2 of 14 LNG trains , offline 3-5 years ❌ 1 of 2 GTL facilities , 1 year repair ❌ 17% of Qatar's total LNG capacity ,gone ❌ $26 billion in damaged facilities ❌ $20 billion annual revenue loss ❌ North Field expansion (77→126mtpa by 2027) ,halted ❌ Force majeure declared on long-term contracts to: 🇮🇹 Italy 🇧🇪 Belgium 🇰🇷 South Korea 🇨🇳 China For up to 5 years. Additional collateral damage: -Condensates: -24% -LPG: -13% -Helium: -14% -Naphtha: -6% The White House response? "Highly anticipated, temporary disruptions." The only supplier with capacity to absorb this at scale? 🇺🇸 United States. Qatar's CEO spent 40 years building one of the world's greatest energy companies.

“Go complain wherever you want…” A railway employee at Chennai Park Town railway station neglected his duty and was found sleeping without opening the ticket counter. A passenger raised his voice as the train arrival time approached.

Lufthansa CEO yesterday: “non-EU airlines (successful Asian, Gulf carriers, etc) are the problem, they’re the reason we barely fly to Asia, they’re why we struggle to fly East, it’s unbalanced, it’s unfair” and “we have lost towards South East Asia” Lufthansa today: 👇🏽

On 19th March, in Model Town, Delhi, a neighbour stabbed a man to death over a staircase littering dispute. The attacker also choked the victim's mother & tore his sister's clothes. The victim's family's distressing video is viral. But no RW outrage, no VHP-BD calls, no "Hindu khatre mein" trends. 🤷‍♂️ Because Suraj (18) allegedly stabbed Sumit (24) to death. Both names are Hindu. That's why.

According to @mathurapolice, 'Gou Rakshak' Chandrashekhar alias 'Farsa Baba' stopped a vehicle on suspicion. During this incident, he lost his life after being struck by a truck approaching from behind amidst dense fog. The container vehicle stopped by the Baba was found to be carrying groceries, while the truck that struck him from behind was loaded with wire coils. This was a road accident, There's no connection whatsoever to the smuggling of cattle.

It sounds like Israel is planning to blow up Al Aqsa and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The uptick in this kind of rhetoric is nothing more than laying groundwork to blame Iran. Israel has banned Muslim and Christian access to these holy sites. For the first time in the history of Islam and the history of Christianity, Al Aqsa is empty during Ramdan and Eid, and the Holy Sepulcher is locked to worshipers. They're not doing this to spare non-Jewish life. Rather, they want to ensure there are no phone cameras capturing evidence. It will be another scene of their crime, and they want to have total control over the narrative and "evidence." These parasites are diabolical.

CNN discovered multiple unredacted videos inside the Epstein files, including footage of a girl stating she is just 15 years old. These videos sat in government custody for years.

In an odd twist of events, Iran has freed Iraq.

Let’s be perfectly clear, the pregnant girls being held in the Texas ICE camp are children. They’re not “young women”. They’re kids. If they’ve been impregnated after being locked up, every single ICE guard must be investigated for child rape. The girls must be freed.

In 2002, the US conducted Millennium Challenge, the largest war games in its history. They split soldiers into two teams: 🔵Blue, which was America, and 🔴Red, an unnamed generic Middle Eastern country. The 🔴Red team was led by retired Marine Corps Lieutenant General Paul K. Van Riper. The idea behind the games was to see how, not if, the 🔵Blue team would win. In other words, the 🔴Red team was supposed to lose, but General Van Riper didn’t want to lose. So he played to win. He used asymmetric tactics by doing things like using civilian boats instead of military ones, motorcycle couriers and coded messages in mosque towers because their cell phone networks had been hacked. He launched a massive preemptive strike using a swarm of small boats and cruise missiles, which overwhelmed the 🔵Blue Team’s Aegis defense system. In the simulation, this resulted in the “sinking” of 16 American warships, including an aircraft carrier. The exercise was supposed to take 14 days. Vin Riper and his team won after day one. Understandably, the US military was embarrassed because this was supposed to show off all its superior tactics and cutting edge technologies. So, they restarted the exercise and changed the rules to force everyone to follow a script so that the 🔴red team could not win. The exercise controllers brought the sunken ships back to life, and forced Van Riper to follow a scripted path that ensured a 🔵Blue Team victory. 🔴Red was ordered to turn off certain air defense systems and use regular cellular communications to allow 🔵Blue to destroy them. 🔴Red was also told exactly where to move certain units so 🔵Blue could pretend to find them and neutralise them according to a pre-planned timeline. Most crucially, Van Riper was forbidden from using the swarming tactics that had been so effective in the opening hours. The controllers argued that the reset was necessary because the goal of Millennium Challenge 2002 wasn’t just to see who would win, but to test new Network-Centric Warfare concepts. They felt that if the game ended on Day 2, they wouldn’t get to test the rest of their expensive toys. Van Riper, however, argued that testing those toys in a rigged environment provided a false sense of security. General Van Riper was so angry, he quit the exercise midway and wrote a 21-page recommendation on changes the military had to make to, get around his asymmetric tactics. They ignored the report and said the exercises were a huge success that proved the military doctrine was good. “It was no longer a free-play exercise... it was a scripted exercise. They had a desired outcome, and they were going to get it.” — Lt. Gen. Paul Van Riper 24 years later, maybe Von Riper was onto something.

Who reviewed this paper? A few days ago @gcabanac tweeted about a paper that had published a remark that it had been forced to cite irrelevant papers. You can see the tweet here: buff.ly/3UMIguf. We remarked that if it was not so serious, it would be funny. Since reading that tweet, we have not been able to get it out of our head, so we thught that we would document it in a little more detail. We are doing this for three reasons. 1️⃣ In our view, it descerves more detail to be made available. 2️⃣ We'd like these details to be be kept as a matter of public record, so we are posting similar posts on our X account and our LinkedIn account. 3️⃣ It should be of interest to this community, so we hope that this raises even further the ethical issues around this topic. The first image shows the paper that we are looking at. What is interesting is the text that appears on at the end of the introduction (highlighted in red). This appears to show that the reviewer insisted that a set of 13 papers be cited, else they would not accept the paper. It would be interesting to see the review repport, so that we could be certain what had been said. If you want to see the paper, it is available here: buff.ly/4fndXm0 In the rest of this 🧵, we show the papers that have been asked to be cited (i.e. [35]-[47]). These have been taken from the paper mentioned above. You'll notice (as we have highlighted it) that every paper is "et al." meaning, of course, that there are quite a few authors on each paper. Gicven that we cannot see all the authors, the other images on this 🧵 shows the full set of authors on each of these 13 papers. We leave it an an exercise for the reader to hazard a guess as to the reviewr is?

I'm so mad. Once again, got a paper accepted, but Ref2 wants me to add 4 references all having a single author in common, whereas Ref1 suggests 6 with another common author! This unethical behavior should be stopped by the editors. Should I say who those authors are? Thoughts?

When Eisenhower was asked why the United States did not allow the 1956 Vietnamese reunification elections agreed upon at Geneva, he answered with unusual honesty. He said that if elections were held, Hồ Chí Minh would win with approximately 80 percent of the vote. So they cancelled the elections. Think about that every time an American politician talks about "spreading democracy." They cancelled the democratic election because the "wrong" person would win. They then spent the next two decades killing people to prevent the government that would have been democratically elected from taking power. And they called the other side anti-democratic. This is not ancient history. This is the logic that still governs every "democracy promotion" operation today. Democracy is acceptable when it produces the "right" results. When it does not, you cancel the election, back a coup, fund the opposition, impose sanctions, and call the government that the people actually chose a "dictatorship." Vietnam exposed this logic completely. Not with arguments. With history. With the receipts.
