This is a historical recording where one hears one of the senior tanker staff (presumably) pleading: “Drone attack, drone attack, please help!”. I think it should go viral just like the initial recording of “Moskva, go f… yourself!”, because it too now reflects exactly where this war is at.
👀 A video message from the burning tanker Virat from the Russian "shadow" fleet was shown on a Turkish TV channel
The crew asks for help and reports an alleged attack by drones - probably naval ones.

Does the US still belong to NATO?
If so, why does it support Russia against Ukraine & NATO?

Seems like a weird thing to tweet on the day when your boss said he’d pardon someone convicted of sending 400 tons of cocaine into the US.

What’s the simplest “Occam’s Razor” explanation? (1) one highly partisan politician who claims he’s above the law has pushed the bounds of the law beyond any other, or (2) many different, independent judges, incl. GOP appointed, are all suddenly ignoring the law to stage a coup?

Trump entered the Mar-a-Lago ballroom for his Thanksgiving feast to the song “We Are the World,” a song used to raise money to help starving children.
