  1. @Brisketexan get a plane ticket EU to fund tribunal for Putin — Kyiv to receive first millions for war crimes investigation Kaja Kallas has announced the allocation of €10 million to establish an international tribunal to investigate Russia’s crimes against Ukraine. Another €6 million will go toward helping Ukrainian children deported by Russia and victims of sexual violence. In addition, the EU is preparing an extra €100 million package to support Ukraine through the winter.
  2. G7 countries are preparing an oil strike against the Kremlin — Russia could lose half of its oil revenues (around $80 billion a year). According to Reuters, G7 finance ministers are drafting new measures aimed at draining Moscow’s war budget — including additional tariffs on countries that continue to buy Russian oil. If the plan works, Russia’s oil revenues could drop nearly by half — from 7.3 to 5 million barrels per day — leading to losses of about $76 billion annually. The G7 is also urging Saudi Arabia and the UAE to boost production while pushing India and Turkey to reduce imports of Russian oil. Experts believe that coordinated pressure could severely weaken Russia’s economy — and might even force Putin to halt the war. But the question remains: can they actually make it happen?
  3. Rainbow spotted over the still burning Feodosia fuel terminal in Russian-occupied Crimea this afternoon. The facility, one of the largest fuel dumps in Crimea, a region already facing a critical gas shortage, suffered a catastrophic fire after an overnight Ukrainian drone strike
  4. NASA satellite over the Black Sea
  5. Hitting production, hitting pipelines, hitting stored fuel. Keeping it up day after day. Gonna be some long lines in Crimea and a lot of black market profits. Also doesn’t bode well for Russians in Crimea if air defenses aren’t shutting this stuff down.
  6. Would help if it stopped them from procreating.
  7. One of Trump’s “spiritual advisors”, one of the major ones. This stuff is good (not the destruction but the talk of it being evil, Biblical, etc.). It pushes back against the narrative some push about Russia being the good guys. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Burns_(pastor) This morning, we were once again reminded of the unrelenting cruelty being unleashed on the innocent people of Ukraine. At 10:39 a.m. on October 11, a Russian warplane dropped a guided KAB-250 bomb directly onto the town of Kostiantynivka in eastern Ukraine’s Donetsk region. The explosion struck Svobody Avenue. Two lives were lost, and four others wounded. Among the severely wounded was a devoted priest of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. He was inside the St. Job of Pochaiv Church, offering shelter to a 4-year-old child whose mother had just died and was buried near the church days prior. The sanctuary itself, a place meant to protect life and offer peace, was damaged in the blast. This is not just an act of war. It is an act of evil. It is a strike against innocence, faith, and the very idea of sanctuary. A priest, a grieving child, a house of God, violently attacked in one brutal moment. As a Spiritual Diplomat, I cannot stay silent. This is not just a military crisis. It is a moral one. Russia’s war machine is not only destroying homes, it is desecrating sacred spaces and tearing at the very soul of humanity. To all people of faith and conscience: I urge you to speak out. Share this story. Let the world know what is happening. Let policymakers, interfaith leaders, and every spiritual diplomat across the globe rise up and demand justice. We must not grow numb. We must not let darkness have the final word.

  9. We maybe decades removed from the Soviet Union, but damned if the apparatchiks aren't still around, toadying up to whoever is in power.
  10. Paul Blart and Reacher crossover?
  11. Already took care of the first one.
  12. don't care if already posted, from the Longhorn socials, for those looking for new wallpapers.
  13. I would assume nowhere near the front lines - Ukrainian drones are starting to range pretty deep. And they are probably manufacturing trucks.
  14. "Sir, your hearing loss is not game-related"
  15. Is that boat zigging and zagging and putting out a smoke screen?
  16. Russia is desperate for tanks. Is it desperate enough to use T-64s? Edit: I'm iffy about whether they are really moving back to using more tanks - the drones just keep getting better and better.
  17. Yup, he needs to stick around for a long time.
  18. Estonia closes border crossing with Russia over unusual military activity Saatse "boot" area - chunk of Russia that juts into Estonia, Estonians were allowed to cross it as long they don't stop.
