Brent is up. Time for Axios to publish some fake news again 🤭

Cumulative oil production shut-ins in the Middle East are already growing exponentially. Unlike simple flow disruptions, this is effectively a permanent loss of global supply. Even if the SoH were to reopen today, we must remember production can only resume after ballast tankers move from the high seas into the Persian Gulf to empty the onshore storage tanks. Yes, this means the confirmed cumulative loss has already surpassed one billion barrels. Good luck. #oott #iran

Iranian oil exports: Still reliant on Kharg and the trend is downward. A sharper decline is expected in May. #oott #iran

Shut up you ppl talking nonsense about a chicken game. The UAE’s required production for May under the OPEC+ DoC is 3,447kb/d, yet their March production was only 1,892kb/d. It’s not that they wanted to increase production and couldn't; it’s physically impossible to ramp up output right now bc the SoH is closed. So if the goal were simply to increase production, there’s no need to leave OPEC. They are under-producing by more than 1.5mb/d compared to their quota. As long as they are physically able to produce it, they can increase output enough while staying within OPEC+. I think they either want to join the war or are just fed up with the helplessness of the cartels, especially Saudis. Saudi did nothing for the UAE while they were getting hit. Even when the UAE mentioned the possibility of entering the war, Saudis remained completely silent. If I were them, I’d be furious too. #oott #iran

🚨🚨🚨🚨FULL STATEMENT: UAE says it's leaving the OPEC oil cartel from May 1. "... Following its exit, the UAE will continue to act responsibly, bringing additional production to market in a gradual and measured manner, aligned with demand and market conditions..."

North Korea dramatically increased executions during the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly for consuming South Korean dramas, K-pop, and other foreign culture.

Egyptian author Ibrahim Eissa: "The mullah regime is nihilistic and suicidal. It never admits defeat. Iran is more dangerous than Israel. The Arabs' focus on Israel distracts them from Iran's expansionism."

@In4ThePips @Osint613 No.

@Osint613 Isn't Ukraine using stolen Russian assets? 🤔

Zelensky to Israel: "Buying stolen goods is a crime, this includes grain stolen by Russia. This is not and cannot be legitimate business. Israel cannot claim it doesn't know what enters its ports. We took all diplomatic steps, yet the ship was not stopped. We will sanction those transporting and profiting from this. We expect respect, and no actions that undermine our relations."

The Tuapse refinery, at the Black Sea coast of Krasnodar Krai, Russia is burning out of control.

Rebels have captured a Malian Armed Forces Mi-24 helicopter, originally supplied by Russia in 2022. At the time, Russia delivered two Mi-24P attack helicopters, along with P-18 and 59N6-TE “Protivnik-GE” radar systems.

While @Twitch has been actively banning accounts involved in Russia's recruiting efforts for their drone factories in Alabuga, quite the opposite is true of @YouTubeCreators, with YouTube allowing dozens of popular russian creators to proliferate this content at massive scale.
