First closer videos of the burning refinery in Slavyansk-on-Kuban, Krasnodar region, in Russia, and as expected it is total carnage. There are several independent fires raging, especially in the silo farm, but also other parts of the refinery are completely on fire.
Russia lies about absolutely everything, turning deception into a core state policy.
With a regime built entirely on constant fabrications, how could we ever trust a single word they say again?
Russia lied about the "separatists" in Eastern Ukraine back in 2014. They claimed they were just local rebels when it was actually the Russian army leading the charge. Back then, many in the West seriously argued they weren't Russian troops, but everyone knows the truth now.
They shamelessly lied about downing the Malaysian Airlines plane. Today, the world knows with absolute certainty that it was a Russian Buk anti-air system that downed it.
They spent an entire year moving mass amounts of troops to the border while explicitly promising they had no plans of attacking Ukraine. They maintained that exact lie until the very last day before launching a full-scale invasion, followed by immediate lies about why they were attacking.
When they got decisively defeated around Kyiv, they lied again, calling their chaotic retreat a "gesture of goodwill." A year later, they even changed that lie into a brand new one, claiming they withdrew because Ukraine was about to sign a peace deal in Istanbul.
Everyone knows Russia would never withdraw pre-emptively before any papers are signed. They didn't leave out of kindness or diplomacy. They simply got defeated.
Since then, they have just been repeating the same old fabrications, proving there is zero reason to trust anything as long as this regime is in power
@maurici05721071@ElHiloRojoTV Lo del papel higiénico es otra cosa, no tiene nada que ver con la inteligencia o brutalidad. Más bien con el saqueo a un país por una estructura mafiosa mundial conformada por países con gobiernos tiranicos. Por lo demás es verdad lo que dices
@ElHiloRojoTV Puedo imaginar a un hombre ultra poderoso dándole indicaciones al ilustrador de The Economist:
- wey, no olvides poner una copa de vino derramándose porque voy a mandar dos terremotos a Venezuela.
¡¡NO DIGAS MAMADAS!!
@ElHiloRojoTV Después de leer está estupidez, creo que cualquier detalle que uno escoja, se puede acomodar a la conspiranoia. Veo que hay un gran movimiento conspiranoico contra The
Economist que tiene más de 300 años de historia y que maneja información muy interesante y real.
@anthonybochagol Recuerdo que en la montaña de los sueños en Mérida tienen una especie de simulador de terremotos y cuando lo visite nos dieron una charla breve sobre las fallas tectónicas en Venezuela
Stock market leverage in Asia is beginning to crack:
Stock trade defaults reported by securities firms in Taiwan rose to $62 million so far in June, the highest monthly total since data began in 2019.
A stock trade default occurs when investors who bought shares on margin fail to pay for those purchases, or when sellers fail to deliver the shares required to settle the trade.
Trade defaults have soared +300% over the last 2 months and now exceed the 2021 record by ~20%.
This comes as margin purchases have surged +160% over the last 12 months, to $19 billion, close to the all-time high set just before the 2000 Dot-Com crash.
By comparison, margin debt has risen +94% in South Korea over the same period compared to +50% in the final 12 months of the Dot-Com bubble.
Market leverage is out of control.
@jimstewartson Sure reeks of Hitler to institutionalize disabled ppl. I NEVER thought I’d see anything like this happen in America or be attempted. Anyone ok with that doesn’t love America, Land of the Free.
Not very Christlike to cut medical services & food assistance for those in need too…
Maybe I’m just strange, but I don’t think I like the idea of the Trump administration deciding, customer by customer, who receives access to specific AI models.
Yet, that’s what’s going on.
¿Quién está de acuerdo que esta mujer es una TRAIDORA a la patria?
❌ Avaló los acordeones para elegir a los ministros BVRR0S
❌ Le dio sobrerrepresentación a Morena.
❌ Y dijo que Pío López Obrador es una blanca palomita.
Es Mónica Soto magistrada del TEPJF

¿por qué no destinarlas a las regiones afectadas x los sismos para apoyar las labores d rescate, remoción de escombros?
Latin America still the land of caudillos. Too much focus on the pendular shift (from left to right) and I simply marvel at the continuity of neocaudillismo. See thread.
¿Ya eliminaron la criminalización de uso de drones de videos? Son sumamente útiles en una emergencia y el chavismo los prohibió. Incluso hay varios presos políticos que vivieron desapariciones y torturas solo por usarlos.
Es clave dar garantías para la comunicación libre.
BREAKING: The US has issued Iran a general oil-related license allowing the production, delivery, and sale of Iranian-origin oil, petrochemical, and petroleum products through August 21st.
Iranian oil is officially returning to global markets for the first time since 2018.
More Ukrainian civilians killed and many injured after Russian terrorist attacks on civilian targets. The greatest criminal of the 21st century, Putin, must be convicted and punished for these terrible crimes.
