  1. HONG KONG (AP) — The death toll in Hong Kong’s apartment complex blaze rose to 146 on Sunday as investigators discovered more bodies in the burned-out buildings. A steady stream of people placed bouquets of flowers at an ever-growing makeshift memorial at the scene of the disaster, among the worst in the city’s history. https://apnews.com/article/hong-kong-apartment-complex-fire-9b466e2965d71cc21fe3bce5ad863f74
  2. Notice the double tap.
  3. See. Maduro will come to the US to meet trump. The president will “detain” him. Then he can collect the $50m award. Trump appoints a transition government. Usmc takes Maracaibo. All Americans promised a check.
  4. Which was/is a major overland and water transit route.
  5. And not even the right country.
  6. It was for 1-2 P3 type planes. And yeah, but Harriers can operate from rough forward bases. So ya take one.
  7. They would need a forward base. Like Trinidad where marines are “fixing” an airport radar.
  8. Tied up.
  9. Needs piggy.
  10. We should sue them all for Trademark violation AND defacing our mascot. Or fuck it, let them keep do it, take royalties, and kick it into the NIL.
  11. And if we try and control the country, even if just Caracas and Maracaibo, a lot of other Latin Americans. This will bring in people from the entire hemisphere.
  12. Agree. what I find interesting is the scope changing and the Architect being pushed away so the President can run the show. Um, yeah, that is what he should be worrying about. Not the economy, pending conflicts, he has not ended, or the current approval ratings. Nope, I am an architect so get out of my way.
  13. OK, I track this shit. So sorry for the response. Yes, IF they know they are at sea. Now who owns them? Who is selling and buying are the tricky parts. Once a ship turns off its transponder, and they are not supposed to do that, they go dark. So only way to track is visual or if they communicate and NATO is listening. The shadow fleet is large and not only used/operated Russians. Finances can be tracked, but that is like finding a needle in the haystack. Have to know where to start looking. So buyers/sellers just create new entities they use for a few specific deals. A lot of these groups cut their deals in Dubai. One thing that happens, and there is a lot of evidence, is at sea transfer. So Ship A (under sanctions) runs out of Russia/Iran/Venezuela. The oil is already paid for. Once at sea they meet up with Ship B (not sanctioned), they transfer, and Ship B takes it to port. The hardest part of all this for the sanction busters are the Ships. It is a pain to reregister every few trips, so they press their luck. It would be interesting to know the last port of call for these two ships. maybe not blow them up? Find the trends and follow the leads. Hope this is better than a NOPE.
  14. I am just responding. it is a good question, but really don't think there is much consideration on either side for saving species or the environment. 1- Russia never has. 2- Ukraine has to survive. Long term impacts are going to massive.
  15. Yeah. Putin could fucking end it. You think this is bad for the environment? Two ships in the black sea? hell I bet Russian offshore rigs leak more than that. And maybe Ukraine by hitting them heading in was in consideration for the environment. Plus, these two won't sail again, so win win? Now consider all the spent explosives across farmlands and cities. Add the unexploded shit and landmines. That was caused by Putin. Wiki article on it. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has led to ongoing widespread and possibly serious and long-term environmental damage. The Ukrainian government, journalists and international observers describe the damage as ecocide. Explosions inflict toxic damage along with physical destruction. Every explosion releases particles of toxic substances such as lead, mercury and depleted uranium into the environment. When ingested, explosives like TNT, DNT, and RDX, cause illness.[not verified in body] Fights in heavily industrialised areas may lead to technological disasters, such as spills of tailings and fuel, that poison vast territories not only in Ukraine, but also in Europe and Russia. Destroyed buildings may release carcinogenic dust that remains hazardous for decades.[not verified in body] Heavy metals and chemicals may penetrate underground waters and poison water sources, killing life in rivers and water bodies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of_the_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine
