AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money laundering… So if you’re asking me if I’d support impeachment, I do

Reportedly, this is the Arctic Metagaz tanker after the strike.

It is (was?) a Russian shadow fleet tanker, transporting LNG.

Russia’s Starlink replacement is giving away its positions β€” Ukrainian brigade tracks drone pilots by their Wi-Fi antennas Ukraine's 59th Brigade soldier says Russia's Wi-Fi alternatives require clear line-of-sight placement, making every antenna a marker for a drone operator position or EW station.

Russia lost Starlink and switched to Wi-Fi antennas. Ukraine's 59th brigade started hunting them.

Find the antenna, find the drone pilots. And intercepted radio chatter shows Russian operators can't even get stable internet for command coordination.

Zelensky said neither Orban nor Fico have ever expressed condolences to Ukrainians killed or injured in Russian strikes, only demanding Ukraine owes them. He said restoring the Druzhba pipeline would cost Ukrainian lives as Russia repeatedly strikes energy infrastructure. #Ukraine

2/Modern air defense systems, in particular Patriot, are effective against aviation bombs. If there are more such systems, Russian aviation will not be able to use guided aerial bombs against Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Mykolaiv, or Kherson with impunity, the President stated.

❗️The Ukrainian military must do everything possible to ensure that the buffer zone between Russia and Ukraine in the Kharkiv direction is on the Russian side, β€” Zelenskyy

In that case, artillery will not be able to reach Ukrainian cities.

Credible reports that ginormous Russian LNG (liquid natural gas) tanker Arctic Metagaz is on fire in Mediterranean. Reports suggest it was hit be a USV (uncrewed surface vessel)

We have Gulf allies who are being attacked. We have American planes that are literally being shot down by American allies.

We have to reconcile why our bombs β€” or Israeli bombs β€” were used to kill children, young girls at a school.

Exactly. Blindly hooting for the Buffoon-in-Chief as he unlawfully orders airstrikes without a coherent plan isn't a foreign policy, and isn't patriotic; it's just stupid, and dangerous.
