Russia buys computer chips from China with up to 40% failure rates

Exxon finally leaves Russia

Back in March, Exxon announced no new investments in Russia, but apparently they were holding on to the Sakhalin 1 project, which Putin just handed over to someone else.  That's what happens when you do business with a dictator.

Definitely a computer game.  I can tell because of the pixels and from seeing quite a few computer games in my day.  Probably Arma 3.  One video like that fooled a real life general.

That's a disappointment. 

It happens.  There's a lot of stuff like that.  Hell, I think I shared some war footage that was actually from 2014, which is kinda embarrassing. I try to vet what I post, but some things slip through the cracks.

Belarus says it's unable to pay off its debt due to sanctions



Bullets are cheap...

Questions that answer themselves:  Ransacking Russians leave note on despoiled Ukrainian home, "You already live so well, why do you need to be in Europe?"

To keep out marauders and rapists, obviously.  And by "Europe" I believe they're referring to the EU.

The downside to this evacuation from Kherson is that they'll be able to reinforce other fronts, which might get dicey, and it looks like they're trying to mass kidnap Ukrainians to Russia, which is a textbook definition of genocide.

Shift to renewables amid war saves EU €11bn

It's almost as if producing your own energy saves the Earth by cutting out both the oil lobby and Dictators and Warlords.  Cause neither one uses that wealth/power for good.  Decentralizing energy production not only makes practical sense, but moral sense too.

10 Iranian drone instructors blown up in Ukraine

Fun fact: if nuclear blackmail works, it will never stop being used.

The recent Ukrainian strike on the Antonovsky bridge killed some propagandists

Oh no!  Anyway...

edit - apparently these weren't amateur propagandists, but people with close ties to GRU (Russian Intelligence).  Public "support" for Putin's policies, especially in Ukraine, is only done with manufactured consent, so when bigger fish die off, it helps eliminate the problem.
