@hazelteab kummaline lugu. nagu UK-s oleks liiklus turvalisem kui Eestis. kindlasti mitte. seal on väga palju inimesi ja liikumist võrreldes Eestiga. ja mis on lastehoiuarve? lastesõimed, lasteaiad ja koolid on meil tasuta. tean, et välismaalased kiidavad just Eestit kui turvalist riiki

@YevKopiika they have run out of UA soldiers to exchange

> says it doesn’t kidnap children > proposes to exchange them for POWs

@AtomicAsphalt @DunderMifflinAS also, extras stay fully in character - no smiling or otherwise surprised.

@DunderMifflinAS Very improvised....As the camera pulls back in perfect sync with the tray push.

This move was actually improvised by Michael. It wasn’t in the script, which is why Toby’s stunned reaction looks so genuine.

@FinnishGear The picture looks to be around 1990, so first years of independence. I would suggest the clothing and couch are brought from Finland. He was a president of Bank of Estonia and obviously had some money by then.

I love how vatniks are amazed by the Kallas familys wealth by them having umm…. Two paintings…. Electricity and a couch?

@NA__Press @jurgen_nauditt No surprise - up to 1990, he had regular contacts with a Soviet diplomat. He ended this relationship after being informed by the Norwegian Police Security Service that his contact was a KGB agent, warning him against further contact. The code name by the KGB was "Steklov"

@jurgen_nauditt He’s an interesting figure, but all of western leadership post soviet collapse acted with shocking naïveté toward Russia. In the case of he and Obama it simply became less forgivable as they let Putin march straight into Crimea, having learned nothing from Bush’s mistakes.

@nexta_tv Just "cross the bridge". They have no idea. There's only one old bridge which is closed for traffic and blocked with tank obstacles. Only foot traffic currently allowed. If there is any military action, the bridge will be blown and any attackers are cut off.

⚠️ “Attack on Narva” — Russian state TV is now saying it out loud Propaganda in Russia is openly discussing a strike on Narva — a town on the border with Estonia. The goal is stated clearly: “to destroy NATO and break Europe’s will.” At the same time, viewers are being told that the West supposedly won’t respond. This is exactly how the invasion of Ukraine was justified in 2022 — and back then, many didn’t believe it would actually happen. We all know how that turned out.

@nexta_tv the faster you burn through stocks of missiles, the sooner you get home. enormous waste of resources is always part of military life

⚠️Ukrainian instructors sent to assist in the Middle East are shocked by how the US intercepts targets, according to The Times According to Ukrainian officers and instructors from the Ukrainian Armed Forces, who were involved in the defense of the Gulf countries, "the US launched as many as 8 Patriot missiles at a single enemy target, each costing over 3 million dollars," and also: "I don't understand what they were doing, what they were watching for four years while we’ve been at war."

@nafoviking It's not possible to have fair elections in corrupt state. Of course there will be miscounting of votes and other methods to keep him in power.

I have a sneaky feeling orban will win the election. Lost trust in Hungary.

@viljararakas elu näitab, et kui tehakse kiire lammutus ja alles siis hakatakse uut asja planeerima, siis kordub EKA lugu. halvim kui sinna tekkib mingi Porto Franco 2.

Tallinna Linnahall tuleb lammutada. 30-aastat räägiti, et Tallinn peab avama end merele. Lõpuks on see juhtumas. Tallinna Linnahalli kinnistu omab potentsiaali saada Sydney ooperimaja või Hamburgi Elbphilharmonie laadi maamärk. Linnahalli aeg on möödas. err.ee/1609972324/mui…

@JayinKyiv considering he only follows russia's interests I foresee that he delays opening the strait as long as possible

Since Trump refuses to destroy Iran's oil industry, he must now make a decision to focus on either opening the Strait, which will help Iran's war against America but keep US gas prices a bit lower OR continue allowing the Strait to remain closed, harming Iran's ability to kill Americans but assuring Republicans get OBLITERATED in mid terms as gas prices hit $10/gallon. My guess is that he'll try to get everything and lose everything by getting the Fed to blitz into an easing cycle that ramps the markets but suicides the dollar irrevocably. There's a reason why Russia spent billions for a decade installing Trump. He's an absolute moron.

@JayinKyiv @JavierBlas @glcarlstrom @UK_MTO considering the lack of proper air defenses in gulf states its obvious that all oil facilities and tankers will be lost once we start on this path. this will only help putin

@JavierBlas @glcarlstrom @UK_MTO It seems Trump's fear of driving up oil prices by destroying Iran's oil industry is going to result in the destruction of the west's oil industry. Like Russia, only destroying Iran's oil industry stops this war.

This is a significant escalation: @UK_MTO reports an oil tanker that was on anchor offshore Kuwait (and near Iraq too) has been hit by an explosion; oil is spilling and the tanker is tanking on water. "... There is oil in the water coming from a cargo tank..."

@martinmolder USA ja Venemaa

Meil võiks juurduda selline kontseptsioon nagu väärtuspõhine puhkamine. Ehk siis et sa ei lähe puhkusereisile sellisesse riiki, mille valitsev kultuur on sulle vastumeelne või vaba ühiskonna põhimõtetega vastunäidustatud.

@GoUncensored imagine coming from a parade in India, under a warm evening sun, with all your friends laughing around. and then an old f just kills you all to show off

We sank that Iranian ship off of Sri Lanka, for one reason and one reason only. Optics. Trump and Hegseth needed a win in the media. and that is fucking dangerous.

@secretsqrl123 Their main enemy is Turkey, so there will be no heavy lifting by kurds.

if the kurds get involved in iran that could end up in a larger war where they demand a kurdish homeland. be carful. the iranian army and much of the population would stand up against them.

@FRHoffmann1 I would assume that with each ballistic missile launch you disclose approximate location of your launcher.

Add to this that Iran has so far only launched roughly 600-700 ballistic missiles in total, including short-range ballistic missiles of which it possessed substantial stockpiles prior to the war. By comparison, during the 12-Day War Iran launched around 500 to 600 medium-range ballistic missiles alone. It was also regularly able to fire salvos of 40-50 ballistic missiles at once, at times more than one volley per day. Given that the present conflict is far more existential from a regime perspective and that short-range ballistic missiles are viable, one would expect significantly greater ballistic missile use unless Iran’s missile and launcher capabilities have been heavily degraded - which evidently they are. Interceptor stockpile shortages were, and arguably remain, a valid concern, but only if Iran had been able to sustain the intensity observed during the first two nights, which it clearly has not. At present, with the possible exception of Bahrain, no Gulf state appears to be in a particularly alarming position.

@nexta_tv There was never a doubt Iran will lose their ships. Ukraine lost their ships, but despite having no ships they were able to sink most of russian black sea fleet

Only small vessels remain after the US sank 11 Iranian warships Tehran’s attempts to close the Strait of Hormuz have become significantly more difficult.

@intelFromBrian @WarMonitor3 according to marinetraffic app there has been no movement for three days

@WarMonitor3 No ships gone through in 6 hours. 😂😂. It’s closed.

Strait of Hormuz not closed despite IRGC pronouncement. Iran is not patrolling the strait and no sign yet of it mining the strait-FOX

@runnel huvi pärast jälgin marinetraffic äpist seda väina ja seal pole juba kolmandat päeva mingit liikumist. ei kujuta ette kuidas seda jõuga lahti tegema hakatakse kui vastaskallas on rakette ja droone täis

Kuidas see oligi... Juhuenergia? Energiakandjad, mis pole erinevalt tuulest ja päikesest ennustatava kättesaadavusega ega meie kontrolli all.

@witte_sergei the opening of the strait is not an easy task with drones and rockets flying around. it looks US prefers to keep its fleet as far away as possible

IMO, its unlikely that Iran can keep the strait closed for an extended period of time, and the larger threat right now is that they start attacking the oil production facilities in the gulf.

It's a very weird war. Iran prepared for decapitation strikes by pre-authorizing field commanders to retaliate at will. You have the Iranian Foreign minister admitting that military units are mostly out of command at the moment. So in a sense, Iran turned itself into a giant bomb, primed to detonate when it got hit. The Iranian military is essentially weapons free, which makes it hard for them to coordinate or mass strikes. It also makes them unpredictable and difficult to control. On the other hand, you have the United States pursuing contradictory war aims. The White House seems to want to negotiate, but decapitation leaves you with nobody who is clearly empowered to negotiate. Since Iran's military is basically emptying the clip without central direction, it's not even clear that a ceasefire could be implemented by Iran if they want it. Trump explicitly said that the people they expected to take charge in Tehran are now dead. It's all a recipe for maximum chaos with few brakes. The US has to commit to a throw weight game either until Iran's strike capability is completely degraded, or until Tehran reasserts central control and can submit to some sort of negotiated ceasefire. The latter doesn't seem likely because the US is systematically degrading Iranian command and control.

@missfellacatz Straight of Hormuz is closed for a third day already. Of course they want it open asap.

I see reports that several European countries are saying they are ready to defend the Gulf States from Iran. Then why can't they defend Ukraine? Makes me😡 😡
