IN DENMARK 🇩🇰 we don’t celebrate Independence Day, because 🇩🇰 were never ruled by any other nation.

🇩🇰 went to war more than 200 times & we lost some, but we never fully lost our sovereignty.

Foreign National flags are BANNED in our kingdom. Except the flag of #ukraine 🇺🇦

Since 2022, an exemption in our flag-law allows flying the Ukrainian flag, because we acknowledge that Ukraine is protecting OUR SOVEREIGNTY‼️

SLAVA UKRAINI 🇩🇰🫡🇺🇦

Another example of orc tactics in the war: barrier troops forcing Russian soldiers to clear minefields at the cost of their own lives.

A 12-year-old boy was swimming in a few feet of water off Alaska when an orca shot straight at him at full speed. It bumped his shoulder, then folded its body in half, turned, and swam back out to sea. The boy was unharmed. The researcher who described it said the orca realized at the last second that he was not food.

Wild orcas have killed zero humans in all the years people have kept records. Not one person, in any ocean, ever. The same animal, kept in a marine park tank, has killed four people.

They could if they wanted to. An orca can kill a blue whale, the biggest animal that has ever lived. Off South Africa, pods flip great white sharks upside down, hold them still until they stop moving, and eat the liver. The sharks leave those waters and stay away for up to a year.

What an orca will eat comes down to one thing: what its family taught it to hunt as a baby. Scientists have found at least ten different kinds of orca around the world, and each kind eats only a short list of foods. Some hunt only salmon. Some hunt only seals. One group near Antarctica eats just one kind of fish. A salmon-eating pod will swim right past a seal, because no one ever taught them to catch seals.

Baby orcas learn the family diet from their mothers and grandmothers, the same way you learned which things in your kitchen are food. This gets passed down for generations and almost never changes. Different kinds share the same water, ignore each other, and don't even breed with each other. Humans were never on a single one of those lists. We are just not something an orca's mother ever taught it to eat.

There is one exception on record. In 1972, a surfer off California was bitten hard enough to need more than 100 stitches. He was in a black wetsuit with sea lions swimming nearby. The orca let go the moment it realized its mistake and left.

And wild orcas do more than leave us alone. In a 2025 study, scientists recorded 34 separate times, over 20 years and in oceans all over the world, when wild orcas swam up to people and offered them food. Fish, birds, pieces of seal, a whole stingray, once a sea turtle. Each time, the orca dropped its catch next to the person and waited to see what they would do.

A Chinese man decided to prove that women are perfectly safe in India and Bangladesh

He disguised himself as an unattractive pregnant woman and spent three days in public.

According to him, he was repeatedly groped, harassed, and nearly sexually assaulted.

Now he says he has a very different understanding of how “safe” things really are.

The Russian publication "Mediazona" created a map of Russian soldiers killed in the war against Ukraine, from which regions by surname, but these are only those who are known.

I asked a local councillor if the russian refinery here in Ireland should be sanctioned.

He said yes, if it was supplying Israel.
But Russia? No.

This is Ireland’s sanctions hypocrisy in 90 seconds.

A woman from New Zealand was briefly detained in Kazakhstan after officials questioned whether her country actually existed. They then asked her to point it out on a map that, ironically, didn’t even include New Zealand.

Chloe Phillips-Harris, a 28 year old from New Zealand, arrived at an airport in Kazakhstan after being told by the Kazakh embassy that she could receive a visa on arrival using her New Zealand passport. Instead, officials refused her entry, claimed New Zealand was simply a state of Australia, and demanded that she provide an Australian passport.

When she argued that New Zealand was an independent country, officials reportedly escorted her to an interrogation room and asked her to identify it on a world map. Ironically, the map did not include New Zealand at all.

She was then held in a guard room for roughly a day and a half without food or water, although some guards quietly brought her drinks during the night. Eventually, contacts within Kazakhstan helped her secure the proper documents and gain release.

After the ordeal, she later said: “It is corrupt and there are problems, but there are a lot of good people there. It’s just really unfortunate there was a world map that didn’t have New Zealand on it.”

Russians are installing anti-aircraft missile complexes directly from helicopters on the roofs of high-rise buildings in Moscow

It's great that this was filmed, because now high-rises are legitimate military targets. Let the Russians not cry about it later

I recommend that the residents of these buildings dismantle these air defense systems themselves, as the authorities are putting them in danger by installing them on civilian structures

The "Narva People's Republic" now has a flag, a coat of arms, and a Telegram network. Ukraine saw this playbook in 2014 – now it's appearing in a NATO member state.

The same "People's Republic" branding that preceded Russia's Donbas occupation is targeting Estonia's border region.

[Global Statistics @Globalstats11]

Crude Oil Quality & Refining 🛢

1. 🇺🇸 United States (WTI) – 39–41° API
• Light, sweet crude
• Very easy to refine, high gasoline & jet fuel yield.

2. 🇮🇷 Iran (Iran Light) – 33–36° API
• Medium-light crude
• Iran Light sits near the medium-light range that many refineries are designed for

3. 🇷🇺 Russia (Urals) – 30–32° API
• Medium sour crude
• Requires more processing.

4. 🇻🇪 Venezuela (Merey / Orinoco) – 15–16° API
• Heavy crude
• Thick, tar-like, complex refining needed.

📌 Key Insights 🌍

• Higher API Gravity = Lighter Oil = Easier Refining = Bigger Profits

• Iranian crude sits between ultra-light US shale and heavy Venezuelan oil, making it highly compatible with many global refineries.

• Strait of Hormuz carries a large share of the medium-grade crude many refineries are designed to process.

• If Hormuz supply is disrupted, refineries must switch to heavier or ultra-light substitutes, reducing efficiency and profits.

• Quality of oil often drives global oil politics more than most people realize.

🚨Europe has never answered whether it is ready for war — and Russia knows the answer

Zelensky gave a brilliant interview to Český rozhlas that can quite literally be taken apart quote by quote.

🇦🇿 But you just apologized
🇷🇺 That we did
🇦🇿 For what?
🇷🇺 For what happened to your plane
🇦🇿 which you shot down

We are already at war with Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea; Ukraine is holding the line. Not so you can hide from it but so we can all prepare for it. Give Ukraine everything it needs to end this war before it expands further. Peace can only come after victory now.

[Jay in Kyiv @JayinKyiv]

Before Russians murdered him, the President of Chechnya, Dudaev explained that Russia uses treaties as a military tool, signing when they're in trouble, giving time to re-arm, then returning to kill everyone and erase the cities.
