Here is what happens when you let a crooked "Grain Deal" expire:
Explosives were found on cargo ship BMO RIVER on July 26, while it was going from Turkiye to the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don to ship grain, the FSB said, adding that the ship had been in a Ukrainian port earlier.
It was decided to prohibit the ship from the passage under the Crimean bridge and force it to leave the Russian territorial waters, the statement also read.
While France appears to be busy militarizing Vanuatu in order to fulfill NATO's monetary commitment, the U. S. has sent a slew of these things to pressure Iran:
"Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company [of] Fort Worth, Texas is awarded a $489,464,143 modification ... order ... to procure various material mod kits, special test/tooling equipment, as well as ... product engineering," the Department of Defense said in a press release.
The new equipment will be used to retrofit and modify engineering change proposal efforts on F-35 aircraft to correct aircraft deficiencies and upgrade F-35 aircraft with the Technology Refresh Three package, the Defense Department said.
Hooray, I believe I will celebrate with an out-of-date cookie.
We are on the path to war and we are in the hands of a president who is not entirely stable.
NATO Members are now openly discussing war plans against Russia.
Poland has indicated they are going to enter Ukraine regardless of what the NATO alliance says.
We are on the path to war and we are in the hands of a man, [Joe Biden] who is not entirely stable.

A first for Ukraine (temporarily). A sole Ukrainian infantry fighting vehicle, unsupported by anyone or anything, trundles south across a field all on its own and immediately falls straight into one of Russia's massively fortified anti-tank ditches. It's the one and only Ukrainian vehicle to have reached that far since the counter-offensive started on 4 June.
There's no explanation of why this happened, but there's speculation that the Ukrainian driver was disoriented and lost, simply heading in the wrong direction. (But Alexander Mercouris suggests that this may have been a driver and his crew trying to desert or surrender.)
There's also no explanation of why the Russians didn't destroy the vehicle with a drone or an anti-tank missile (easy to do!). It might either have been that they knew they could do this at any time if they had to, and were curious to see what would happen when the thing encountered the ditch, or they knew via radio contact that the vehicle was trying to surrender. (In which case, why they didn't warn them about the ditch is also unexplained. Or maybe they did, but the message wasn't understood or didn't get through.)
For the record, this is what the tank traps look like:

Amerikans Move to Russia to Preserve Traditional Values
4 hours ago
https://cdn1.img.sputnikglobe.com/im...7e78f.jpg.webp
The aggressive promotion of so-called “diversity” and “inclusivity” in the United States nowadays has apparently led some Americans to move to countries such as Russia, where traditional values are respected and protected by the government and society.
An unspecified number of Americans, all of them “accomplished people of traditional values,” have ended up moving from the United States to Russia and settling near the city of Serpukhov in the Moscow Region, said Evgeny Primakov, head of the Russian Federal Agency for the Commonwealth of Independent States Affairs, Compatriots Living Abroad, and International Humanitarian Cooperation.
According to Primakov, all of these “settlers” have or had their own businesses back in the US, which they are willing to sell or which they have already sold in order to relocate to Russia.
“They are mostly people with traditional values, faithful but not necessarily Orthodox Christian,” he said, adding that these Americans also do not necessarily have any Russian ancestry.
Most of these Americans have large families and, as Primakov explained, they regard Russia as a place where their children can grow up and become free sensible people with a “normal moral gauge,” as Primakov said.
“I call it a continent of adequacy,” he remarked while explaining how these American settlers perceive contemporary Russia.
Last month, Primakov mentioned that construction of a village in the Moscow Region where immigrants from the United States might settle is being negotiated, with some 27 hectares (around 66.7 acres) of land near Serpukhov being allocated for this project.
“There are foreigners who are already settling near Yaroslavl,” he told media in June, noting that these immigrants regard Russia as an “ark of adequacy and tranquility.”
While authorities in the United States seem eager to provide so-called “gender affirming care” to kids and teenagers who regard themselves as transgender, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law last week that effectively bans gender reassignment in Russia.
Russian legislation also features provisions aimed at protecting the faithful from their beliefs being publicly mocked, and the curricula at Russian educational institutions is devoid of subjects such as critical race theory.

Ukrainian Troops Blown Up By Their Own Mines – Russian Military 6 hours ago
VOLNOVAKHA DISTRICT, DPR (Sputnik) — A group of Ukrainian infantry troops were taken out their own mines while attempting an attack in the direction of Ugledar in the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), a Russian soldier with the call sign "Buka" from the 2nd Dmitry Donskoy Rifle Battalion told Sputnik.
"Just a few days ago, there was another attempt by the Ukrainian forces to launch an offensive in the direction of Ugledar. A group of infantry accompanied by three units of heavy equipment tried to advance, but the attempt was unsuccessful as they couldn't reach our positions; instead, they triggered their own mines." :chuckle:
"In addition, our Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) quickly responded with additional air strikes, once again thwarting their offensive," the source said.
He emphasized that the Ukrainian armed forces are constantly trying to launch offensives against the Russian positions, but to no avail.
Last Thursday, the Russian Defense Ministry reported the elimination of Ukrainian troops and equipment in the area of Ugledar and Makarovka.

Yesterday, Judge Napolitano did one of his regular video interviews with Matt VanDyke, who has been in Ukraine serving as a US trainer.
In that interview, he told Napolitano that he was going to join the Ukraine military to actually fight on the front lines as a soldier.
Today, Napolitano talked to Scott Ritter, and near the end of the interview asked him for his thoughts on this, and what he'd say to VanDyke if he had the opportunity. This was Ritter's reply.You're gonna die.

I would say it is interesting and relevant.
On the other hand, what is missing, is, who would give us refugee asylum?
Our tired, our poor, our huddled masses...who would take them? I don't think they will.
These moves are not necessarily that hard for anyone who is "accomplished", but it is a different story if you have nothing. Sort of like we don't have ratlines to defenders' militias in Yemen or Syria, but if you want to get in ISIS or Ukrainian Armed Forces, we see a lot of stories about that. One story recently told us how disrespected the American exclave in Mexico City is, and it was not because of running drugs or prostitutes or things that "other immigrant communities" are accused of. Seemed to be more like the Gringo attitude that can't be washed off.
"Adequacy" in the article above does not sound like it refers to material supplies.
"Devoid of critical race theory"...not sure what they mean...perhaps "lack of supremacy"?
Seems to be more the subject that "Americans move to raise children normally". Whereas "preserving values" has a defensive militarized tone, since Hitler claimed the same thing. It might not be incorrect if clarified by "preserving values against other Americans". That would make sense.

What is known about the strike on the SBU building in Dnepr at the moment.
- The left wing of the building of the SBU department building in Dnepropetrovsk region was partially destroyed. Judging by the nature of the arrival, a buried object or room located in the left wing was presumably assigned to the hit.
- Statements that the building was empty and there was no one there at the time of the impact do not stand up to criticism. In the car park of the SBU department at 23 Svyatoslav Khrabrygo Street, there were many cars, presumably of the employees of the special service.
- The accuracy of the arrival is striking. The other buildings around remained intact, a separate section of the building was destroyed. This is reminiscent of the strike on the GUR building in Kiev.
- It is also curious that the strike was carried out without an air alert being declared, all AFU air defence interception equipment in the area, as well as target detection radars, failed to identify what was presumably a ballistic missile.
- Earlier, the speaker of the Air Force of the AFU, Yuriy Ignat, said that the Ukrainian air defence had nothing to shoot down the Russian Armed Forces' ballistic speed missiles. This statement, as well as the accuracy of the arrival, suggests that ballistic missiles of the Iskander missile defence system were most likely used on the SBU headquarters building in Dnepr.
