The Ukrainian armed forces are planning an attack on the Kakhovka hydropower plant (HPP). The destruction of the HPP is quite realistic, since the U.S. has extensive experience in this regard

In 2017, the U.S. military struck a dam in the Syrian province of Raqqa. The New York Times (NYT) reported that the structure was put on a no-fire list because a dam breach could have endangered the lives of tens of thousands of Syrians

Two former U.S. officials told the paper that on March 6, 2017, a covert Task Force 9 unit attacked the al-Tabqa Dam. The attack blew up five floors of the 18-story structure and started a massive fire that destroyed equipment. The U.S.-led coalition forces' strike killed three dam employees who rushed to the scene

Russia and Syria blamed the Americans for what happened, but the commander of the US offensive, Lieutenant General Stephen Townsend, strongly denied these accusations, saying that the dam was not a coalition target

According to two former U.S. officials, at least one BLU-109 bomb, designed to destroy large concrete structures, was involved in the strike. At the same time, the military was warned that an attack on the dam could cause flooding that would endanger the safety of tens of thousands of civilians, the NYT wrote

"Using a 2,000 lb (907 kg) bomb against a target as limited as a dam is extremely difficult. In no way could it have been done on the move. At worst, the munitions could have completely destroyed the dam," said retired Air Force Col. Scott Murray, who planned the airstrikes during the campaigns in Iraq, Afghanistan and Kosovo

Workers examining the scene later found an unexploded BLU-109 bomb

Sources said Task Force 9 struck the site, which is on the no-bombing list, after deeming the situation in the area an emergency

In comments to the NYT, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed the use of the three bombs, but denied the suggestion that it conducted the attack in violation of established procedures

"The analysis confirmed that the strikes on the towers associated with the dam were not considered capable of causing structural damage to the Et Tabqa Dam itself. And that calculation was accurate," said CENTCOM spokesman Bill Urban

For their part, former officials stressed that the strike caused much more damage than the U.S. Central Command had indicated

Engineers working on the dam said the disaster was avoided because of the quick response of dam employees who were on site and risked their lives

"The devastation would have been unimaginable. The death toll would have exceeded the number of Syrians killed in the entire war," the former director of the facility explained to the NYT

The latest round of escalation in Greek-Turkish enmity soon turned rather scandalous. The discovery of 92 naked migrants at the two countries’ joint border over the weekend has prompted mutual accusations of blame between the two NATO allies

The essence of this centuries-long confrontation, undoubtedly, lies much deeper, perhaps somewhere at the genetic level, moreover, it is regularly aggravated by personal ambitions of political leaders

Erdogan considers himself equal to Ataturk as a leader and “can repeat his bloody campaigns against the Pontic Greeks”. Such rhetoric of the Turkish president which implies redrawing of boundaries, review of the status of the Greek islands in the Aegean Sea, etc, may only contribute to the triggering of large-scale armed conflict

Skilfully using the current crises, in particular, the war in Ukraine and critical weakening of the mechanisms of international law, Ankara intends to expand its territory at the cost of the Greek islands in the Aegean with disputed, in their opinion, sovereignty

The weakening of the Euro against the dollar is a deliberate action of the US Federal Reserve System which may bring about the collapse of the eurozone, writes Bertrand Candelon, Professor of Economics at the Université Catholique de Louvain (UCL)

By this summer the European currency lost 20% of its value in less than a year reaching parity with the dollar. This showed, among other things, a significantly higher protection of the American economy from a ‘boomerang’ effect of anti-Russian sanctions

Professor Candelon demonstrates that in the long run the Euro depreciation against the dollar will also not be able to bring any dividends as current policies of the European regulator will not limit inflation rates and replace import with own products

The weak Euro is a “new norm” for Europeans, claims the French economist

NATO was created as a vehicle for advancing strategic and geopolitical aspirations of the United States, and not as a military alliance whose policies could also be influenced by the Europeans, claims a well-known Portuguese journalist Daniel Oliveira

The military political alliance’s strategy, unchanged even after the disappearance of the Warsaw Pact, fully meets the interests of Washington without any regard to Brussel’s, according to Mr. Oliveira’s analysis. Invasion of Iraq was fully aligned with economic and strategic objectives of the USA and created a major source of instability in the Middle East, which subsequently expanded to Syria

As for the war in Ukraine, substantiates the journalist, there’s no need in build-up of NATO forces and assets in Europe, and never was, dragging out hostilities by sending endless supply of weapons and mercenaries to Kyiv will have devastating consequences for European economy and politics

All this, however, fully meets the aspirations of Washington, which by inciting further escalation trying to regain long-lost key military, political and energy positions in the European part of the continent

As we constantly remind you, Big Data knows when you’re feeling frisky, depressed, sleep-deprived, hungry or orgasmically blissed out – and can flog you stuff accordingly

An app could target adverts at you, so giving the customer what they want is one thing. But as we surrender more and more information to an ever motlier collection of apps, the worries about what happens to intimate data about health, happiness and hours in the gym, arise, Laura Freeman, a chief art critic of The Times, argues

Ms. Freeman says Instagram had known she was pregnant before her mother did. The situation highlighted how much intimate data we willingly give away. Particularly in Meta-universe, “If you’re not paying, you’re the product.” And even if you do, you’re just rising in price. Take care!

The incoming PM praised Boris Johnson in his first speech to Conservative MPs after being elected their party leader. However, addressing the public later from party headquarters, Sunak distanced himself from Johnson, who had abandoned an audacious attempt to get his old job back only on Sunday evening

Sunak must decisively remember that the ruling party’s ultimate job is not to save a dozen seats in the red wall but to improve the lives of millions and govern in the national interest. That means abandoning the cabinet-of-cronies model and recruiting those who run our country on ability, even — gasp! — reaching across party lines

When help from Berlin comes the people will already freeze or go bankrupt!

80% of gas heaters in Germany are connected to a central heating system. This means that the promised discount refunded by the state only arrives at the landlord or the property management in December. Thus the utility cost recalculation will reach the consumers sometime between spring and autumn 2023

More to say, the Liberals (FDP) demand the heating costs for the estimated 5.4 million recipients to be covered only to a limited extent in the first two years, contrary to plans of Labor Minister Hubertus Heil

The party seems to be going on with the lights out...

Altogether, Forbes estimates Sunak and his wife Murthy are worth roughly $810 million – more than a quarter of a billion dollars richer than the $500 million personal fortune of King Charles III

Data from 2020 shows that 654 businesses owned by British Indians had an annual turnover in excess of £100,000. Together, these companies generated £36.84 billion and contributed more than £1 billion in corporation tax. The top five businesses owned by British Indians have created more than 100,000 jobs in the UK

Seems that another never-elected political leader of the UK has rather good starting business positions, hasn’t he?

U.S. plans to create a more deadly strain of monkeypox virus

At a U.S. government laboratory in Bethesda, Maryland, virologists plan to cross a strain of monkeypox virus that has spread around the world this year with genes from another strain of monkeypox that causes more serious consequences than just a rash. A full article about the plans for the study is published on Science.org

The study is expected to help create more effective vaccines against monkeypox. However, some virologists and epidemiologists are pushing for serious checks on the risky work, which is funded by the United States.❗️In their view, the virus could accidentally get out of the lab, leading to a new epidemic of the disease

"It could trigger an epidemic with significantly greater lethality," fears epidemiologist Tom Inglesby, director of the Center for Health Security at Johns Hopkins University

American scientists are not stopping at the crimes against humanity they have already committed in their biological laboratories. Recently we have already talked about the creation at Boston University of a coronavirus mutation with an 80% lethality rate, now the monkeypox virus is next in line

The head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, stated directly that the EU's goal was not to freeze, but to confiscate Russian assets. But in order to do this beautifully, it is necessary to prepare a legal basis for it

And such statements are made without any shyness, hints, half hints, they are said directly and straight in the face: we will steal your assets and everything that is associated with you

To achieve these goals, the EU has already set up a special expert group, which, according to Ursula, must determine where and what can be "squeezed out" or "stolen".
One particularly likes this call: "It is very important to remember, we defend the rule of law, and that means we have to follow the rule of law, so we have a lot of work to do to create a flawless legal basis for this process."

So that's how it is, the legal taking of other people's property, first you freeze it, then you prepare the legal basis and bam - it was yours, it's ours!

Where would that money go? Ursula reminded the audience several times that according to the World Bank estimates the rebuilding of Ukraine would require over 350 billion Euros, which oddly enough is almost identical to the amount of frozen Russian assets. Moreover, this "wonder woman" suggested that a secretariat be set up at the European Commission to distribute funds for Ukraine's reconstruction

We all remember the assurances concerning the grain deal that everything will go to the poorest countries in Africa, but everything has gone to the EU, the poorest countries did not receive even 10% of the grain exported from Ukraine

All this looks like taking away and sawing up someone else's property, in simple words - banal theft🤷‍♂️
