Russian seaborne oil exports have fell by about 1.75 million barrels per day (bpd) last week as repeated Ukrainian drone strikes knocked key Baltic terminals out of order, Bloomberg reported Tuesday, citing shipping data and sources.

Oh yeah, any NATO member who does not limit the outflow of critical military information to China should be treated as a pariah by other member states, it is a grave security risk.

 

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said teams had been sent to the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, and Jordan, states that have come under fire during the Iran war.

but only among internet incel culture

first time I ever hear about this.
haven't really see it being used anywhere, personally, let alone among incels

being meant as an insult.

A lil guilty of that, ngl. It does have a slight derogatory tinge that I'm not particularly opposed to

Christ on a bike, so many are desperate to dunk on the Usaian Epsteiners that they gobble up horseshit coming from the Islamist occupiers under which 20% of marriages are child marriages (not to mention all the other disgusting shit, like the """"""""""""""""""""""""thighing""""""""""""""""""""""""""""")

Also LOL, the guy saying this, Ali Larijani, is already dead https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2026/3/3/who-is-ali-larijani-the-iranian-official-promising-a-lesson-to-the-us

we haven’t really told China to fuck off when they are bashing our Philippine allies and basically threatening Taiwan which again we haven’t done really shit to support and tell them to fuck off

"we" have done things in that regard though.
but it actually depends on what you mean by telling China to "fuck off". From the diplomatic point of view, the west & co has constantly voiced their opinion and put pressure on China in regards to its actions in the Philippines waters.

Besides diplomacy, another way of telling China to "fuck off" is via military presence, which has also been increased. Philippines is becoming more central strategically. Two months ago you have allies like Australia making commitments of military investment in the Philippines. Japan is also getting more involved.

People often get frustrated that these kind of measures seem "soft" because there's no dramatic back and forth between the parties involved, but what else is there to be done? Attacking China's ships and risking all of this to devolve in a massive war between the biggest powers of the planet resulting in a world-wide crisis? Nobody wants that.

The ​person, who was not named, was ⁠arrested in Iran in June ​of last year

Last year in June there were farmers who went out to protest the water shortages, I wonder if that was it.

I wonder to what degree this strategy is working out for the islamists and to what extent are the attacked parties going behind closed doors, asking and putting pressure on USA to stop the war.

He's such an obviously stupid guy.
He could've easily manufactured propaganda to sell this this war to his own base (some dumb shit about freedom and stuff like that) and they would've lapped it all up like all the shit before, but he's just too dumb to even do that.
He might've even be able to get some democrats on his side with the right messaging, but he's just dumb as fuck.

Hell the USA is getting more fucked than china is right now.

I very much disagree. Whatever economical pain USA is going through is only temporary. Meanwhile the threat to China is having its regional partner clowned on so much so that when shit hit the fan and Iran needed help, what did China do? Nothing. Nada.
USA basically went to the middle east and told China "oh, these are your M.E. partners that you plan on relying upon to challenge my hegemony? look what I can do to them, lol"
And China was Iran's best bet for strategic protection, but when shit hits the fan they were shown that neither China nor Russia will come to their aid.

Considering how quickly you jumped into the whataboutism when china is called out?

You're talking nonsense and assuming some wild things. Just because I'm explaining what I think USA's foreign policy is in the middle east that doesn't mean I agree or disagree with it, let alone me agreeing or disagreeing with what China is doing.
I can very well talk shit on both of them, just as well as I can agree with only some particular actions and not the others.
It is possible to ride a bike and chew gum at the same time.

Usaian is considered a nonce term

I'm sorry, what? Wdym "nonce term"? As in pedophiles use it? What?
Is that a thing? Do pedophiles have preferred terminology for people of the USA? How do you even come to know about this being a "nonce term" in the first place??? Maybe "nonce" means something else?

but YSK that many people will ignore everything that you say if you use the term Usaian anywhere in your text

Yeah, that's completely fine though. I don't really mind if they ignore me because of terminology.
I always thought that maybe if I start using the term and others start using it as well, maybe it'll become normalized at some point in the future. Who knows.
If not, then that's fine, not a biggie.

They don’t get the majority of their oil from Iran

Nowhere did I claim that. My claim was and it is factually correct that out of all of Iran's oil exports 80-90% go to China, not that 80-90% of China oil imports come from Iran.

you tankies

LOL
Never been called a tankie.
Guess there's a first for everything.

“usa bad, china good”

What are you even on, mate. Just because I'm explaining what I think its USA's foreign policy that doesn't mean I agree with the authoritarian pigs controlling China, let alone with the islamist terrorists occupying and oppressing Iran.

Get a fucking grip, buddy.

In a few weeks Trump will do something at whim that will disprove that there is a consistent strategy, as has been happening over and over during his term so far.

Yeah, totally. In a few weeks Trump will flip sides and suddenly lift the embargo on Cuba and become a supporter of their regime.
Let's not kid ourselves. Republicans or Democrats, the Usaians have generally kept a steady trajectory when it came to their global hegemony status.
That is not changing any time soon.

A rhyton is an ancient drinking vessel used mainly in ceremonies, feasts or rituals. It usually has a cone or horn shape and often ends with the head of an animal or mythical creature. Instead of drinking from the top like a normal cup, liquid (such as wine) is poured in from the top and flows out through a small hole at the bottom, often through the animal’s mouth.

The Poroina Mare rhyton was discovered by chance and entered the collection of the former Museum of Antiquities in 1893. It is shaped like a silver horn, partially gilded, ending in a bovine protome, with a cult scene depicting four women represented on the neck of the vessel: two seated on a throne, each holding a rhyton in one hand and a phial in the other, and the other two standing, with one hand raised and a gilded geometric decoration on the rim of the vessel, with a hole under the spout for draining the liquid, the rhyton from Poroina Mare is a local product, made in an indigenous manner, of Thraco-Getic art at the intersection of Greek and Scythian influences, dating from the 4th-3rd centuries BC.

 

Azerbaijan's foreign ministry lodged an official protest with ​the Iranian embassy on Thursday after a pair ‌of Iranian drones flew across the border into Azerbaijan and injured two people at an airport in the Nakhchivan exclave.
"This attack ​on the territory of Azerbaijan contradicts the norms ​and principles of international law and contributes to increased ⁠tensions in the region," the foreign ministry said ​in a statement.

"We demand that the Islamic Republic of Iran ​clarify the matter in the shortest possible time, provide an explanation and take the necessary urgent measures to prevent such incidents from ​recurring in the future."

 

Women players at a top-division Czech club have spoken out about being victims of non-contact sexual abuse after their former coach was convicted of secretly filming them in the changing room and showers over a four-year period.

Petr Vlachovsky, who in the past led the U-19 women’s national team and was once voted best women’s coach in Czechia, was arrested in September 2023 after police discovered the covert footage online. Players of 1. FC Slovacko only learned they had been secretly filmed after the arrest. Fourteen players were filmed on Vlachovsky’s miniature camera hidden in a backpack; the youngest was 17 years old. Vlachovsky was also caught in possession of child sexual abuse material.

 

The bombing of an Iranian elementary school that killed some 165 people, many of them schoolgirls, included more targets near the school than has been initially reported, a review of commercial satellite imagery by NPR has found.

The images suggest that the school was hit on Saturday as part of a precision airstrike on a neighboring Iranian military complex — and that it may have been struck as a result of outdated targeting information.

Iranian state media said 165 people died in the bombing, which struck a girls' school. The school was located within less than 100 yards of the perimeter of an Iranian Revolutionary Guard naval base, according to satellite images and publicly available information. The clinic was also located within the base perimeter, although both facilities had been walled off from the base.

Given Minab's location in the southeastern part of Iran, Lewis believes it's more likely the U.S. would have conducted the strike than Israel. As one gets farther south and east in Iran, "a strike is much more likely to be a U.S. strike than an Israeli strike because of the type of munitions and the geographic location," he said.
