🇷🇺The Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs wants to tighten control over Russians' communications—AI filters will be implemented in messaging apps, following China's example

According to law enforcement officials, the technology will track “extremist” and “destructive” content, delete it, and transmit user data to law enforcement

The police cite the threat of the spread of “anti-Russian content” as the reason for increased surveillance

🇱🇹Lithuania's army— a suspected drone had entered the country's airspace and crashed into ‌an ice-covered lake some 20 km (12 miles) from the border of Belarus.

Debris found around a hole in the ice was believed to be from a drone, an ⁠army spokesperson said.

That’s definitely not a reconnaissance UAV

As far as I remember, this is the first drone with an explosive element launched on a NATO country.

The previous drones launched on Poland were hollow, including the ones flying over Baltics last year.

Isn't it funny that the mf who buried his ex-wife on his golf course always has so much to say about other people's dead wives

Would be so fucking funny

North Korea taking notes rn

The current Estonian government is polling at a COMBINED 14%

Yet they control 52 out of 101 seats which means they have a majority, the fact that both parties are basically the same thing with one being slightly more gay doesn't exactly help

Elections are about a year away

Valero refines the sour crude (like from Venezuela)

plot thickens

Reminds me of Russians, I swear

What Americans need to learn is to stop filming this shit and providing real time intel to the enemy on what are the consequences of the sabotage, which can be used by them for future improvement.

(if it’s an actual staged job)

Nevertheless they shouldn’t be filming it even if it was an accident because of the times we are in, as it enables propaganda opportunities for the enemy in the middle of a global energy crisis.

Rookies

Happens to be so that Valero Energy is the primary supplier of military-grade jet fuel (JP-8) and diesel to Israel from the United States.

The supply chain is highly specialized because not all refineries are configured to produce JP-8, which contains specific additives (corrosion inhibitors and anti-icing agents) required for military aircraft like the F-16 and F-35.

Probably a coincidence.

The blast reportedly involved a heater unit. In the times of war, these units are often pushed to their absolute thermal limits to maximize output. It was probably running above it’s optimum due to the abnormal demand, so an accident fits here well.

Whether it was sabotage or just “stress”, it seems like the result is the same.

I suspect that the US just lost a massive chunk of its ability to refine its and Israel’s jet fuel.

This will also likely affect commercial airlines– higher prices/cancellations.

Though I don’t want to jump into conclusions yet, while the videos
show significant fires and damage, we don’t know how much actual output is affected.
