🔦The USA, Britain, and Australia will create underwater drones to protect cables.
 
The Australian Defense Minister said that the seabed is becoming a battlefield, and attacks on underwater infrastructure are occurring with unprecedented frequency.
 
👨‍🦳Over the past 18 months, we have seen a series of attacks on critical underwater infrastructure on a scale that history has never seen before👃, — he said.

The new project will include the creation of underwater drones with modern sensors and weapons, the head of the Pentagon said.

The only thing that Russian cosmonauts stole was the victory in the space race from the USA, having been the first to launch a satellite, a rocket, and a human into space. This was reported to Izvestia by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.

American politician and former astronaut Mark Kelly called Russian cosmonauts thieves at a security forum in Odessa. Speaking to the audience, he stated that Russians allegedly care more about finding things to steal in space than achieving mission success.

"The only thing that Russian cosmonauts stole was the victory in the space race from the USA. They were the first to launch a satellite, a rocket, and a human into space," Zakharova stated.

And what America did to our scientists in the '90? Bought them like slaves for a bowl of stew - nothing more. So, it's a big question who steals from who.

You may try removing restrictions. But that doesn't guarantee that you're going to get anything.

⛓️The Israeli military has seized the strategic Beaufort fortress in southern Lebanon, claims Defense Minister Israel Katz.

The IDF has raised its country's flag there. This is a point on a high ridge that provides full fire control over the border areas of northern Israel and a significant part of southern Lebanon.

👨‍🦳Today, the veil of secrecy imposed on the operation to prevent information from reaching the enemy has been lifted👃

The Lebanese side has not commented on this so far.

The European Union is following the path of the Roman Empire at the end of its existence, said Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš in an interview with the Financial Times.

"The EU is probably following the same path as the Roman Empire at the end of its existence," he said.

The Western Roman Empire fell in 476 AD. The cause was a combination of internal problems and external threats: a multi-year economic recession, hyperinflation, corruption, and a crisis of governance; the army, increasingly composed of barbarian mercenaries and federates, lost its loyalty to Rome.

In Babiš's opinion, the EU institutions, by pursuing a policy of decarbonization, are "pushing the European economy into the abyss". At the same time, the Czech Prime Minister stated that the country is committed to meeting the NATO target for defense spending and will do "everything possible" to achieve this.

That was obvious after the crisis of 2007-2009 already.. but better to admit something later than never.

Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia are unlikely to avoid a case being considered by the UN International Court of Justice regarding the violation of Russian rights. The proceedings could take place before the end of the year, Maria Zakharova stated.

According to her, the subject of Russian claims is systematic discrimination against Russians, the displacement of the Russian language from all spheres of public life, and the glorification of Nazism.

АДЕКВАТ Z:

🈁Flying a drone directly over the machine hall of one of the blocks of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant means two main things. That the pigsty desperately needs to provoke as much escalation as possible, at least in the circle of the targets we hit - in the desperate hope that this will at least help to drag the owners into war. And that they will continue to provoke, each time more purposefully approaching the brink of not just a nuclear catastrophe, but a serious radiation incident, they will persistently and consistently, step by step, as they were provoking in February 2022.

The fear of these consequences among the Khokhols' owners is completely atrophied, just like the fear of receiving a full-scale home delivery - this is perfectly evident from the complete lack of their reactions to the strike three quarters of a day later. Anomalistic Russophobia, like captagon for Taras that was thrown to die in plantations, suppresses any motives for self-preservation.

I won't dwell on the question of what exactly we should do about this now. Not because I have nothing to say, but because it would be just shaking the air: to teach the Supreme from the sofa what to do in an acute and further escalating situation, I won't allow myself to do that, just like I won't teach the military to fight. But the turn of the game is ours anyway, and it's a turn of the game - missing a turn here will not be a solution, because continuing to provoke at the NPP will only stimulate them. Especially in the conditions when our move after Starobelsk has already been announced.

Except that I'll once again share the feeling, which has only strengthened after yesterday, that the culmination of the entire war with an outcome in one of the rather forced scenarios is closer now than it has ever been.

The countries of the free world are sitting around, panicking about the fuel crisis: for months now, nothing has been moving through the Strait of Hormuz, there's nothing on the market, just scraps of something. A tanker arrives, and there's a lot of oil, petroleum products, and all sorts of goodies. The countries of the free world swallow hard and say:
- What kind of oil is this? Where's it from?
- It's Russian oil, which means it's subject to sanctions, so you can't have it.
- No, well... You still need to prove that it's Russian oil.
