It's also funnily the people most likely to be in favour of a "multipolar world" that are most likely to refuse to believe that Morocco could have unilaterally decided to weaponise its own desperate population in a political stunt like this.

59th Assault Bde report
'He joined us under a 18 to 24 contract. A normal guy, he quickly integrated into the team. He senses danger with some kind of sixth sense, and he works with fiber optics as if he's been weaving webs his whole life. He's a bit strange, but a good fighter.'

my toxic autistic trait is that I can’t lie about probabilities no matter what so I always introduce doubt for no reason into extremely basic directions or statements
Russia's Ministry of Justice published a Nazi World War II propaganda film - "Hitler the Liberator" on its website. The video was posted as part of an exhibition on "protecting sovereignty." No other explanation. In the film, Hitler justifies his actions, and Nazi aggression against the USSR is presented as "liberation" and a fight against Bolshevism and "world Jewry."
Congratulations to Major General Mykhailo Drapatyi on his appointment as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
This is a breath of fresh air and a new source of hope in the fight of free people for freedom and justice. It is the voice of change that could no longer be ignored.
Now, the high expectations of the Ukrainian people must be met with a clear vision for bringing the War of Independence to a successful conclusion, a strong team and decisive action focused on saving the lives of our service members, accelerating the robotization of the battlefield, delivering asymmetric strikes and exhausting Russia’s economy.
I also called General Oleksandr Syrskyi to thank him for the defense of the Kyiv region, the Kharkiv counteroffensive and other historic battles.
These achievements are already an important part of Ukraine’s history.
But now we must move even faster, write the next chapters of that history and correct the mistakes of the past.
Thank you to everyone who made this possible.
“A wave of Ukrainian attacks has pushed Russian refining runs to the lowest in more than 21 years, deepening a domestic fuel crunch and further squeezing the global market.
Crude-processing rates have averaged 3.91 million barrels a day so far this month, the lowest level since March 2005, according to figures compiled by EA Analytics. That’s more than 1.4 million barrels a day below the year-ago average, the data show.
The drop in production has prompted a ban on most diesel exports to the end of July, in addition to restrictions on gasoline and jet fuel shipments introduced earlier. The loss of diesel from a key global supplier has driven prices to multiyear highs, with the market already tightened by disruptions to Middle East flows.”

💥 116 Vessels in 9 Days: USF Operators Struck 11 More Enemy Vessels Overnight
Here are more details on the results of the operation:
⚓ 5 tankers in the Sea of Azov were struck by operators of the @1usc_army , @Raid_413 and the @k_2army
⚓ 5 cargo ships in the Sea of Azov were struck by operators of the @1usc_army , @Raid_413 and the @k_2army
⚓ 1 tugboat in the Sea of Azov was struck by operators of the @Raid_413
Despite international sanctions, russia continues to export oil through its shadow fleet, using the revenues to finance its war against Ukraine.
The goal of the operation is to systematically disrupt the enemy’s logistics chain. Disabling tankers, cargo ships, and auxiliary vessels complicates the export of oil and petroleum products, limits maritime transport capabilities, and reduces the enemy’s ability to supply fuel to its forces and occupation grouping in temporarily occupied Crimea. In this way, operators of the Unmanned Systems Forces weaken one of the key elements of russia’s military logistics and sources of funding for its aggression.
USF: One step ahead!
Sam Neill was one of the real ones. Not just as Alan Grant, the paleontologist who loved dinosaurs and saved children. But also as just Sam Neill the actor who spoke up whenever he saw injustice anywhere in the world.
Rest in peace Sam 🦕🦖
Comparing just merchant shipping and extrapolating Ukraine's 6-7 days to monthly:
Ukraine's 6–7 days (Azov shadow fleet): ~35–76 mostly small merchant vessels hit (~7,000 DWT tankers), equating to roughly 245,000–530,000+ DWT affected; monthly extrapolation at this pace would be ~150–380 ships and 1–2.5+ million DWT.
WWII U-boat monthly peaks: Often 50–140+ merchant ships sunk (e.g., 500,000–1M+ GRT in top months like May/June 1942), with larger ocean vessels; Ukraine's short burst approaches or exceeds peak monthly ship counts but on far smaller tonnage scale.
Iran-Iraq Tanker War monthly average: Roughly 4–8 tankers attacked (larger vessels, tens of thousands DWT), over ~7 years for ~239 total; Ukraine's pace is dramatically higher in daily/weekly ship numbers and would vastly outpace monthly averages if sustained.
