@TrueGradient @ChrisO_wiki I don't think Iran care about the long term. They really are into quick measures both to hurt their adversaries and get some cash at the same time.

@ChrisO_wiki Iran is making the same mistake as the US: overextension. Charging $2M per ship looks like a flex and easy money today, but it only incentivizes future backlash and search for alternatives.

1/ Iran is seeking to establish a pay-to-sail regime in the Strait of Hormuz, under which it could earn over a quarter of a billion dollars a day. A senior member of the Iranian parliament says that vessels seeking to transit the strait will be charged $2 million each time. ⬇️

@TheOnlyJimBove @eurofounder What if I told you that a German might have set his clock format to 24hr and then traveled to the US?

@eurofounder Tip: The USA doesn't use a 24 hour clock. Use the 12 hour for greater believability.

Tipping culture in America is out of control

@FredericaR16295 @front_ukrainian This might be news to you, but Switzerland is not a member state of EU.

@front_ukrainian In an Iran escalation, uncoordinated EU statements can be as destabilizing as bad policy.

❗️The 🇺🇸United States has bypassed the 🇨🇭Swiss "freeze" on payments for the Patriot system by simply redirecting funds from the F-35 budget through a joint military sales fund. More than 100 million CHF has already been transferred, which now forces Switzerland to close new gaps in F-35 payments. Swiss officials described the situation as "very unsatisfactory" and stated that it "undermines trust" in American defense agreements

@Badger419256 @JayinKyiv I know, right? Yet they beg.

@braliuks @JayinKyiv The US doesn’t have to beg.

Trump's friends have all arrived in Washington DC. America is gone.

@Badger419256 @JayinKyiv And yet you beg for trade agreement with... checking my notes... on yeah, the biggest and wealthiest market. Go sell your crappy buicks and chevrolets in middle east then.

@JayinKyiv Lmao 🤣 as Zelensky is now begging in Saudi Arabia. The US and the Middle East have a pact, South America and the US are booting the globalists out. Trump is making deals in Asia and Africa. Europe and Ukraine have become irrelevant.

@Twee_Papillon There has been a lot of scare-crowing recently from what looks or are Ukrainian accounts. At the same time we started to hear a lot about Narva in Estonia. It really seems like an orchestrated attempt to create panic in Baltic states.

And it turns out everything is simple: find a few details and say it was a Ukrainian drone 🤦🏼‍♀️No one asks why it deviated, why it flew so low over Lithuania, or why it was there at all 🧐 Still, I’m glad the Lithuanian 🇱🇹 institutions are continuing the investigation.

@Twee_Papillon No one is blaming Ukraine FFS. The message is clear: it was likely an Ukrainian drove diverted from its route by electronic warfare. Plus, any damage caused is 100% on russians as they have started this war.

First, a drone falls in Lithuania. Then,the irresponsible claim it was Ukrainian. Today in Latvia and Estonia. And I already hear voices saying, “Ukrainian drones.” Damn, I don’t understand how this works in your heads if you still don’t see what evil is. Pic just for thought👇

@qumranqu @E_Vargas_MP @patriotismbrit @ProudSocialist But why did they do it in the first place? Maybe because of the decades running ethnic cleansing of Palestinians?

@braliuks @E_Vargas_MP @patriotismbrit @ProudSocialist They haven't. What the Arabs did to the Jews on October 7th is a Holocaust.

Israel just released footage of last night's attack on South Lebanon where they demolished an entire town. After getting away with genocide, Israel is emboldened and openly bragging about their war crimes. They are stealing South Lebanon right now and no one is stopping them.

@qumranqu @E_Vargas_MP @patriotismbrit @ProudSocialist Times were supposed to change since then, weren't they?

@E_Vargas_MP @patriotismbrit @ProudSocialist "When did we start levelling housing blocks and killing tens of thousands of random civilians" - during WW2

@Szabadsag1956 🇱🇹 Lithuania - Nemuno Aušra. The most hilarious thing about them is their leader Remijus Žemaitaitis who is both a convicted anti-semit but also tries to be BFFs with Orban. And for Orban Jewish population is apparently very important electorate.

@nexta_tv This means that Ukraine is doing a really good job now and russia needs some distraction. There were these threatenings to cut off the Suvalky gap basically tomorrow a couple of years ago. All bark no bite.

⚠️ “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.

@Maks_NAFO_FELLA I am more than OK to have EUR 2.50-3.00 fuel prices for a while if russian oil exports are completely decimated.

❌ Russian oil exports through Baltic Sea ports have been completely halted, - Reuters. The drone strike on the Leningrad Region, the largest since the start of the war and involving at least 60 drones, has halted both Baltic ports—Primorsk and Ust-Luga.

@Billbrowder However that would be hard to sell as Starlink or intelligence is not a limited supply as hardware is. END.

@Billbrowder Also no one forgot the whole "you have no cards" humiliation. It is a good time to demonstrate that Ukraine has some cards. Weapon supplies are drying up anyways with focus on the Iran. The only thing that would hurt now is stopping of intel sharing and Starlink shut down. -->

It feels to me like the gloves are off. Although we will not know what was going on behind the scenes, I suspect Ukraine had moderated their attacks on Russia in response to pressure from Trump. With him being totally consumed by the war with Iran, Ukraine now seems to be uninhibited in using their firepower on Russian economic targets

@GatesNicolas @NOELreports The real problem is that there is no capacity in missile production to compensate for such a wasteful use of interceptors. Simply throwing money at a factory does not yield new missiles.

@NOELreports i wouldn't be shocked. Ukraine would have done the same thing with the richness of the US. Just a different level of thinking between the two nations when one has 90x the GDP of the other.

❗️Ukrainian experts in the Middle East were shocked by US air defense tactics, citing the use of up to 8 Patriot missiles per drone and $6M interceptors against $70K UAVs, while poorly concealed radars were destroyed by cheap drones, The Times reports. #Iran

@Ldnbox On a well designed system, sysadmins should not be able to see the data content at all. Even though they should be able to manage databases, i.e. move stuff around, read metadata, actual records are meant to be seen just by the owners of said data.

SaaS founder realizes they may have accidentally built the backbone for a drug trafficking operation. 😜

@WilJay_1 Show me then any mass production car that went to production straight as it was designed in a prototype form.

@braliuks Some ideas and styling elements from the YCC influenced later Volvos, including the C30..The Volvo YCC did not directly go into production.

In 2001, a car company gave 9 women a budget and a simple mission... "Design a car from scratch" No male designers, No legacy ideas Just build the car you think people actually need. What they created shocked the entire auto industry.

@WilJay_1 The car DID go into production as Volvo C30.

Their philosophy was simple, If you meet the expectations of women, you will exceed the expectations of men. The crazy part? The car never went into production. But many of the ideas they developed later shows across the industry self parking smarter interiors better ergonomics
