I've been writing all week about Ukraine's drone strikes on Russia's shadow fleet tankers in the Sea of Azov. Those strikes increased again last night bringing the total number of strikes on Russian vessels in the area to 76. Here's video from last night's attacks....Here's a useful map showing where these strikes are happening. The body of water in the center is the Sea of Azov. It's connected to the Black Sea by the Strait of Kerch where the arrows are pointing. That's where Putin built the Kerch bridge seen in the photo at the top of this post....Russia uses of fleet of shadow tankers to move oil and grain out of occupied Ukraine and Russia, through the Strait of Kerch and into the Black Sea. There the cargo is often moved onto larger ships which transport it around the world to buyers willing to look the other way on sanctions. This image below shows "Where Russian crude oil in the Black Sea was transported from during the EU and G7 Embargo / 2024." But as of this week, the Strait is closed.
A Biddeford, Maine, resident is reportedly dead after he weaponized his car against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent(s), causing at least one to shoot in self-defense. Maine House Speaker Ryan Fecteau (D-132nd District) released a statement on Monday, confirming the bare facts of the incident, but he and the press are jumping to the conclusion that the dead activist is the victim. The reality is that when a person attempts to run over an officer with his car, he is using the car as a deadly weapon, meriting a potentially deadly response. Furthermore, if that is what happened, the activist died a felon because it is explicitly against federal law to attempt to injure or interfere with ICE agents....The Post Millennial reported that an eyewitness described seeing a person "trying to hit the ICE officer" with a car, causing the officer to shoot. Since a car being used to run over someone is very certainly a deadly weapon, the facts in the case would seem to be fairly straightforward. There is no information as of yet on any details about the identity of the dead ICE-hater.
