Ukraine can join NATO while engaged in an ongoing conflict. There's misinformation being propagated all the time by Russian trolls & I'd like to clarify what NATO's conditions of acceptance are, as indicated in the NATO Charter. Turkey/Greece are an example of this.

@UKikaski When the invader uses "SMO" to avoid the use of the word "WAR", it's good to use "kinetic sanctions" instead of "economic sanctions".

Social media imagery from the region indicates that Ukraine carried out a fourth strike today on the Line Production and Dispatch Station (LPDS - Petroleum Pumping Station) in Perm (image 1). Image 2 appears to show damage from a separate strike at the refinery there. #OSINT #Ukraine

@sskyrius @alaynatreene Who needs to say there was even any working nuclear reactors on board if the ship sink mysteriously, right?

A Russian ship sank in mysterious circumstances. It may have been carrying submarine nuclear reactors to North Korea cnn.com/2026/05/12/wor…

@ecroccauns @WayneCapablanca @visionergeo A million times more plausible than Biden ever lifting his finger to act on real Russian aggression!

❗❗❗ If this is confirmed, it will be a very big deal: According to CNN, one NATO member country may have sunk a Russian ship to stop the transfer of nuclear technology to North Korea. The cargo ship Ursa Major, which was carrying components of two nuclear reactors, sank under unclear circumstances near the coast of Spain in December 2024. According to the investigation, a 50 × 50 cm hole found in the ship's hull may have been caused by a "Barracuda" type torpedo. Only the United States, several NATO allies, Russia, and Iran have this type of torpedo. American nuclear detection aircraft flew over the incident site twice in the past year. Additionally, one week after the incident, a Russian intelligence ship arrived at the sinking site, resulting in four more powerful explosions.

@ABC I'm not seeing any straps, ropes or any sort of attachments dangling after the fact. It's almost like they slapped the boat on the back and thought, we don't need to secure this thing to the truck.

A Canadian woman says she's feeling lucky to be alive after a boat went flying off the back of a truck and smashed into her car. abcnews.link/mTMy18D

@WalkerJade28332 @gif2gab99 @RachelKryshak I'm not arguing with you Walker old boy, we are staunchly in agreement that the massive salaries and money getting tossed about the Leagues, is well deserving of an ol'Good For You to the end of the legal lettering

@WalkerJade28332 @gif2gab99 @RachelKryshak "It’s a common thing in European footy" FTFY Let's just acknowledge European footy is the pinnacle of Classless AF moves between teams and players.

This shouldn’t be allowed. It’s one thing if the person is still employed by the organization. You fired him, deemed him not good enough — you don’t get to decide who employs him next. Cassidy should be able to walk away from VGK contract so they have no say.

@gif2gab99 @RachelKryshak Semantics. They aren't going to "remind him of his duties". The classly thing to do here is let him move on so that they can clear that money off their books. The classless thing here is to force him to quit. That's a big red flag to the next coach they try to hire.

@RachelKryshak Actually he wasn't fired, He was "relieved of his duties. "Fired" is a term fans, and sports writers often to refer to, but legally, its not correct. A small but important differential... Relieved of his duties but still under contract means he's still an employee of Vegas.

@nik0p0l5 "If Putin says zig, expect zag" This part is accurate. I would give zero consideration to Putin's recent comments about Russia ending the war, other than how it would serve Putin to lie about wanting to end the war.

Year 4 of war Russiaboo still believing in hidden army in Urals is frankly just this

@deAdder Hahaha! Took me a second to focus on the background there to realize what was going on and it's the sort of funny that @JohnCleese would like, the kind that run out from behind a bush to surprise you!

@Nat_B72 @anotheranarch @MurphysLaw74 I'm not a fan of Xhekaj, but it irritates me that the refs grab onto him at the end of every play. My gut tells me that if those linesmen let Xhekaj go free when there's a scrum, there wouldn't be so many scrums.

@anotheranarch @dilborg @MurphysLaw74 That's because Arber Xhekaj has excessive hands.

What Josh Norris did and what Arber Xhekaj did last night are apples and oranges. Stop with the silly, asinine comparisons and trying to justify Norris with Xhekaj's actions!

@anotheranarch @MurphysLaw74 Yeah. I think we agree the punch seems excessive if you only look at the small clip. This started when Carrick ran a Hab from behind into the boards. I still wouldn't classify Xhekaj's punch as "dirty" or unexpected. sportsnet.ca/nhl/video/cana…

@dilborg @MurphysLaw74 I looked at a reply today, and Carrick's shots were milder than I remembered them. More jostling than real hits. Might've been the angle, but his punch seemed excessive in the replay I saw.

LA! LA! (Le Nelson du Munz, HA! HA!)

@anotheranarch @MurphysLaw74 I don't know if the Xhekaj punch was "dirty", or maybe you have a different meaning for "dirty"? Xhekaj would have received a minor penalty for roughing. Carrick woulda got two as well for starting it. Starting to scrum and getting scrummed back, doesn't seem "dirty" to me.

@MurphysLaw74 No, we're trying for balance. Norris punched him, gloves on, while he was being held Xhekaj punched Carrick while he was standing toe-to-toe, and giving little shots at him. If Xhekaj was dirty (and I grant you, it was a bit) then Norris is worse. Our guy hits harder.

@HabsGifs Not a fan of Xhekaj but the refs grab him like this after every whistle and if they wanted to not have these scrums, they would let Xhekaj go. They would only need to let Xhekaj free once, for these silly scrums to stop for the rest of the series.

Poor Carrick? Carrick FACES Xhekaj Gives Xhekaj 1,2,3 elbows Arber punches him with his glove ON Carrick crumbles Xhekaj separated from the herd Carrick jumps back up to double team Newhook Carrick Swings and misses @ Anderson Gimmie. A. Break. youtube.com/watch?v=ive79S…

@PWHL_Ottawa I've seen the video of that interview. I think the OHL fined them 25,000$ for staying mad at Ottawa.

anyone know how Nick’s doing?

@MyLordBebo The reason I suspect the video is AI generated is that if a motorcyclist slides after a crash, they would've ended up much farther down the road (even going the speed limit).

@MyLordBebo Based on the comments in response to your post, we would have to assume a semi-truck could just do left turns and run over any cars, motorcycles, bikes or pedestrians if they were speeding, littering, jaywalking or just dressed funny... x.com/olavgm2/status…

🇨🇦 Crazy motorcycle crash left the cycle hanging on the traffic light… both survived.

@bostonpizza Somehow I'm the only one to like your post! It's the Blue Team . . . they deserve all of our sympathy, empathy and support as they go through some rough times with that whole Marner then last place thing.
