Iran hit Israel’s Haifa oil refinery harder than authorities initially admitted. The strike completely destroyed the main gasoline reservoir, disabled the internal power plant supplying steam and electricity, and damaged gas turbines, boilers, and control rooms with shrapnel. The attack eliminated around 60% of Israel’s domestic oil product production, leading to a sharp gasoline shortage that was offset by ramping up imports and maximizing output at the Ashdod refinery.
To speed up repairs, the government allowed work to bypass normal environmental and construction regulations, with full restoration now expected only in 2028. The true scale of the damage surfaced after Haifa’s municipality and environmental groups sued over the regulatory shortcuts, raising the possibility that Israel may be downplaying the impact of other Iranian strikes on critical infrastructure.
@agitpapa I have a better explanation you kaffir dog. Virgin Mary appeared in his dream and told him that's the path to righteousness. Then he went and confessed, and the priest showing a great resemblance to batka, gave him his blessings and absolved him of his sins. Done
@Mikipedia1@agitpapa@StuffTrading Nobody would believe him anyway. Thanks papa, our prayers were answered doubly. Not only you gave us a reasoning for batka but a whole kremlin drama :)

“They Changed My Daughter’s Last Name and Now She’s Gone”
“They are stealing the children… they are taking the children who are found alone.”
A desperate mother says her daughter was rescued after the earthquake, but when she went to claim her, she was allegedly told the child’s last name had been changed. The little girl has since disappeared.
She claims that many children found alone are being taken, with their identities altered.
3 days after Traoré is all over the news for breaking off diplomatic relations with France, which gets a good reception, some obscure christian zionist Twitter handle puts out a bullshit tweet portraying a routine change of an accredited Israeli ambassador (based in Cote d'Ivoire) as "Traoré developing closer ties with Israel" and you bunch supposedly "anti-imperialist" dumbasses fall for the headfake instantly without making any attempt to even understand what you are looking at.
And this is precisely why I have zero interest in any kind of western leftism. Your racist, 1-dimensional, brainless, uncritical imperial reflexes are stronger than your supposed ideology. Your own governments are all actively helping Israel murder Gazans and massacre Iranian schoolgirls, and you can't do anything about that.
But you can always pass your dumb, reactive judgements on an African who is actually leading a successful anti-imperialist project, without giving him the 30 seconds of grace it would have taken you to Google Burkina Faso's relationship with Israel and realise that there is no Israeli ambassador to Burkina Faso, there has always been an Israeli ambassador to Cote d'Ivoire who is accredited to Burkina Faso and Togo, and it is ordinary diplomatic process for every new ambassador to officially present himself to all 3 heads of state.
You utter bunch of utter idiots who come from countries led by Epstein Islanders with rape convictions cannot Google things before eagerly pouncing on Ibrahim Traoré to wank your outrage rocks off as if he's your problem!
US Marines deployed their first Iron Dome clone that they’re calling the MRIC, in the Pacific. Instead of Tamirs, the proximity fuze interceptors are called “SkyHunters”, but they’re still made by Rafael in israel.
I would prefer them talking about how their Alien tractor beam would send the Chinese fleet to outer space, because we could classify it as sci-fi. This is just a really embarrassing show of a failed educational system. Eisenhower tinkerers becoming paper pushing morons
@Aviation_Intel Still think every Starlink bird should have something like a de-orbitable LRASM … make it inert to technically satisfy no weapons in space treaty (if the admin even cares about that sort of thing)
Do you remember the 21st american century that was advertised as the trophy of the war on terror? It seems there are still some who strongly believe in it. Can delusion save you ?
Luke, zoom out and see the chessboard from Bessent’s grandmaster view.
China had the US in check after 20 years of weak, distracted leadership. Not checkmate.
The reserve currency doesn’t need to change. Deficits are the engine. What needs to change is the suicidal concentration of those deficits in a strategic adversary now trapped in an exponential demographic collapse. You can’t afford to let a dying China carry the load.
Bessent is simply redistributing supply chains (and the deficits) to players the dominant power (USA) can actually control. All military actions so far under this administration has been directed at this exact enforcement. That’s how strong, relentless leadership has preserved American dominance for 80 years.
And how it will for the next 80. ♟️
Há 33 anos, em 27 de junho de 1993, a artista iraquiana Layla Al-Attar era assassinada em Bagdá. Sua casa foi explodida por dois mísseis disparados pelos Estados Unidos. O ataque teria sido uma retaliação após Layla produzir um famoso mosaico chamando Bush de "criminoso".

Russian banks have restricted access to deposits held by citizens of “unfriendly” countries, according to clients of the country’s largest lenders. The measures affect non-residents from the EU, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
@agitpapa How come batka has such a central role in Russian internal affairs? Or is he a life coach for Putin so they other factions bring him in as a third reliable partner?
@imetatronink@PLottaz@johnshreffler0 The Putin dooming is true but of course not because russia is losing. The Iran war made Russians bielive Putin is too appeasing towards the west and they should be more confrontational.
@agitpapa It was already too late. By the time they bought all their Euro competitors and turned their brands into a quasi monopoly it was over. Their EV move was half-assed. They didn't have the talent to pull it and bureaucracy didn't have the balls like Toyota to say think different
You have to sweat now for beings Brussels bitch. I'm sure the 5-7k tax free every month will sweaten the deal but it's nice for these paper pushers to see themselves as precarious and not part of the elite
The EU Commission in Brussels has shut off airco, but only for the lower floors, where the lower ranks work:
“It’s like feudalism,” a Commission official working on a lower level of the Berlaymont, granted anonymity to speak freely, told POLITICO on Friday, referring to the fact that upper floors housing commissioners got to keep their AC on. A second official agreed it was a “disgrace.” https://t.co/DWUnu3Wz3C
@agitpapa That's mostly flirting with the unions (who have a big say). Maybe the signing of the NDAs and agreeing to be spied (for russian assets), doesn't go well and they want to prop the numbers. Though pulling the armored Jeep overhaul is a highly optimistic assumption.
@agitpapa 2/2 even worse they are already nepotistic "employees" of the bureaucracy, not "owners" in the old Robert Owen way that marx admired. So their scheming is closer to Von Der Leyen level, not strategic. Schrödder was maybe the last one who could represent them but he is sidelined
@agitpapa 1/2 I was running with this assumption for 5-6yrs and was disappointed every time. Then I met a bit this business elite (CEOs who jump from Lufthansa to Dpost and then back to VW). They don't have the higher classical education that lasch was talking about nor the street smarts
