“My dear friend Trump,
My late father, who grew up in Graz, Austria, served in the Nazi army as a German soldier. As a child, I saw him so happy while Adolf Hitler was still alive — because he shared his dream that one day Germany would rule the world.
But things did not go as planned. Hitler made more enemies than friends, and it led to his lonely, cold death.
What was the result? My father became a sad and broken man, fell into alcoholism, and directed all his aggression toward my brother and me. He never understood that love cannot be defeated by hatred, because it is love that unites the world.
Please, my friend Trump, do not end up like my late father.”

Bob Mueller was one of the finest directors in the history of the FBI, transforming the bureau after 9/11 and saving countless lives. But it was his relentless commitment to the rule of law and his unwavering belief in our bedrock values that made him one of the most respected public servants of our time. Michelle and I send our condolences to Bob’s family, and everyone who knew and admired him.
@GalinaSaton Это великий народ, который вынужден страдать из-за кучки "религиозных фанатов" (на самом деле они такие же религиозные как и Хокинг 😁)... Великий не из-за истории Персидской империи, а именно как народ. Умный, талантливый, трудолюбивый и тд.
With all respect to Reza Pahlevi, his existence doesn't mean he will automatically rule the country if Islamic regime falls. Just because he's a son of shah. True leaders are in the crowd in Tehran,Tabriz and other cities and towns of #Iran and they will decide.
I don't think Iranians want king, shah or whatever similar. They are fighting for freedom, not another emperor. For those who forgot, in 1979 there was a revolution in Iran and people supported it then, because they were fed up with corruption of Pahlavi regime. #iran
New Years fireworks in Baku, Azerbaijan. I was practicing some night time photographs from one of the windows on the @Space_Station at the end of the work day on New Years Eve. I had just finished passing over my targets when I noticed something funny – the city below me was twinkling! I quickly took a video, and realized that as we were orbiting further east, we had orbited into 2026, and I was actually seeing the New Years fireworks over Baku, Azerbaijan! Nikon Z9/400mm lens.
Доходы российских нефтяных компаний за одну неделю упали до рекордно низкой отметки — менее ОДНОГО миллиарда долларов! Такого не было со времен "локдауна" в пандемию 2020г. По итогам недели, завершившейся 4 января, средний 4-недельный объем экспортных доходов России от нефти упал до $959 млн в неделю, подсчитал Bloomberg на основе данных агентства Argus.
По сравнению с началом октября нефтяная выручка РФ сократилась еще на 35%, или примерно $500 млн в неделю, а если сравнивать с началом декабря — на 15%, или почти $200 млн еженедельно.
Средняя цена Urals — главного экспортного сорта российских нефтяников — с момента, когда США объявили о санкциях против «Роснефти» и «Лукойла» — обвалилась почти на 40%. В первые дни января Urals продавали по $36,69 за баррель в портах Балтийского моря и по $34,82 — при отгрузке в Черном море. При текущих ценах на нефть ее добыча и экспорт на ряде российских месторождений уже стали убыточными, рассказывали Reuters источники в отрасли.
