@DNIGabbard Go home with your Russian paid propaganda. You are drunk.

[OSINTtechnical @Osinttechnical]

Flying under the radar due to other news, but two of the UK's highest-ranking defence officials, the Armed Forces Minister and Defence Secretary, quit today over the chronic underfunding of the British military.

[Dominique Lazanski @dml]

@Osinttechnical My question, always, is why do Russian people get this close to the fires??

[Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project @OCCRP]

OCCRP has obtained corporate documents for 31 companies registered in Azerbaijan, which have managed the safety aspects of “shadow fleet” tankers that avoid sanctions in order to trade in Russian oil and other petroleum products.

Spicey....but also Siberia is owned by China according to this guy. (likely correct)

[Anton Gerashchenko @Gerashchenko_en]

Russian Z-blogger Golman gives feedback on the Forum in St Petersburg:

"What kind of economy are you even gathered there to talk about? We need reforms! We can only sell oil, gas, and timber! That's it! What do the Chinese even give us? Fiber optic cable - and even that's garbage! They've already taken over everything in Siberia."

To illustrate the humiliation Putin and Russia received this morning, I have added a map of Saint Petersburg, Russia. The strikes on the oil terminal and the Saint Petersburg International Economic Forum 2026 (SPIEF 2026) are just 17 km (10.6 miles) apart.

The burning of the oil refinery in the background is a nice touch.

🧵Mike Flynn @genflynn is officially a foreign agent of the Republic of Srpska, headed by Milorad Dodik, who is Putin's most vocal ally in the Balkans.

I first reported on this about a month ago.

Here is the registration doc from https://t.co/9lEWOQ8evx. According to the document, Flynn is being paid $100K per month.

One year on from Operation Spiderweb. Amazing.

[Saint Javelin @saintjavelin]

Imagine spending 18 months preparing one operation.

Then imagine watching dozens of Russian strategic aircraft burn because it worked.

One year of absolutely meticulous planning, intelligence work, logistics, and operational security led to this moment.

Operation Spiderweb will be studied for years.

[WarrenVsCCP | 🇺🇸🇹🇼🇺🇸 @WarrenVsCCP]

ONLY IN CHINA 🇨🇳.

The CCP rolled out armored vehicles in Macau to showcase the power of the People's Liberation Army.

Then reality showed up.

Two armored vehicles reportedly broke down and had to be pushed by hand in front of the crowd.

Nothing says "military might" quite like soldiers pushing their own armor down the road.

[Doves Of Freedom @DovesOfFreedom]

Ukrainian drone pilot who worked with NATO drone pilots says its very hard to work with them because they have so many regulations they basically can never fly 😂

“Can’t fly here, can’t fly there, wind is too strong, its raining, we need 8hours of sleep”

Just imagine being on position in Ukraine and say to your commander “ Sorry Sir, I cannot fly, I did not have my 8hrs of sleep” 😂

@pronounced_kyle Not wild. It tracks from what I’ve heard.

[Deborah Haynes @haynesdeborah]

Russia is "relentlessly targeting" critical infrastructure and democracy in the UK and across Europe, the head of the intelligence agency @GCHQ will warn.

Anne Keast-Butler will also use the first of what is set to be an annual threat assessment to reveal that her officers are helping to counter "reckless sabotage and assassination attempts" by the Kremlin.

She will warn that the risk of miscalculation, which could trigger wider conflict, "is as high as I have ever seen it".

At the same time, Ms Keast-Butler will say in a lecture on Wednesday that Vladimir Putin is "going backwards on the battlefield" in Ukraine.

[Jay in Kyiv @JayinKyiv]

Panic in Russia's Duma as the worst budget deficit since the 1990's has Duma Chairman Valery Gartung screaming at other Duma members, warning that hyper inflation may be the only solution "like 1992".

"What are we going to do??!!"

[Jay in Kyiv @JayinKyiv]

Russia's land bridge to Crimea is no more.

Videos like this are now coming in every 20 minutes.
