🇪🇸 A bloodied man burst out of a Spanish villa screaming "THEY'RE GOING TO KILL ME" and led police straight to a torture chamber...
A girlfriend called police at 1 a.m. because her partner went inside on shady business and told her to call if he didn't check in within ten minutes.
Cops arrived just as a naked, bloody man burst out the kitchen door screaming "they're going to kill me," while armed men in black scrambled over the garden wall.
Inside, a second victim sat tied to a chair, bleeding from the mouth, surrounded by duct tape, pliers, a hammer, and a silenced pistol.
Eight suspects are now in custody, allegedly part of a Serbian trafficking gang punishing the men for botching a job.
If that girlfriend doesn't set a ten minute timer, we're reading about two dead men in a Spanish crime scene report instead of a rescue.
Costa Del Sol sells itself as sangria and beaches, and somehow there's a literal kill room a few miles from the beach chairs. Insane.

🇱🇻🇺🇦 Latvia’s President Edgars Rinkēvičs says the drone war in Ukraine is evolving so quickly that countermeasures being planned today could already be outdated by next summer.
The uglier part: he says several Russian missiles would already be difficult for many European countries to handle.
Russian military pressure around NATO territory keeps increasing, while the Iran war has burned through the same Patriot interceptors Europe relies on for high-end air defense.
So Europe has two clocks running against it...
Factories need years to expand, and the battlefield needs only months to change.
Ukraine is effectively updating the syllabus while Europe is still building the classroom. Latvia’s President is being polite.

🇺🇦🇷🇺 Ukraine has knocked out 42% of Russia's refining capacity, and nobody else this year comes close
A map of every major refinery struck worldwide since January shows how lopsided this is.
Ukraine has hit 16 Russian refineries, several of them repeatedly, with Syzran alone struck five separate times.
The US and Israel have hit two in Iran, Iran has hit six across Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait and Israel, and the Houthis keep returning to Jazan.
Russia is rationing fuel now and importing refined products while discounting its own crude, with the Moscow refinery possibly offline until 2027.
The reason Kyiv can keep swinging this freely is that all six of its own major refineries were destroyed before the year even started, leaving Moscow everything to lose in an exchange where Ukraine has nothing.

🚨🇺🇸🇺🇦🇮🇷 U.S. officials warned allies that weapons shipments to Ukraine, especially critical Patriot air defense missiles, could face major delays in the coming months.
State Dept. flagged it to Europeans; some weapons meant for Kyiv via NATO programs might even get diverted to restock US forces.

Footage appears to show China mass-producing Iran's kamikaze drones
And Zelensky confirmed yesterday that 200 Ukrainian drone operatives are in the region assisting against Iranian attacks
This is already a proxy war between China and the U.S.
The only question is whether it becomes another Ukraine.
Interesting weekly price structure on Gold.
The monthly and quarterly are even overextended to the upside.
I do believe that we've seen a ton of upside on the markets and that the upside is skewed. Would rather protect and hedge at these prices, as a correction to $3,600-3,700 is still completely fine for this asset.
Additionally, consolidation = great for risk-on assets, probably we'll see a strong move in the crypto markets.
@NewsLiberdade Que loucura gente. O presente Trump faz uma declaração demonstrando boa vontade em negociar e o nosso presidente responde com provocações????
