What I’m wondering is if they took them out on international waters, if that’s the case and there are no loud protests raised and no reprisals over it, then it must be fair game for us to do the same with Russian ships in the Baltic Sea. “Greta Thunberg’s ship Madleen, which she traveled with towards Gaza, was boarded by Israeli forces during the night to Monday, several media outlets report.
AFP, who spoke with the activist group behind the journey, lost contact with them early Monday morning. The last thing they managed to say was that the alarm went off on board and that life jackets were sent around to prepare for boarding.” Source
“The Israeli Foreign Ministry has released images from the operation during the night when soldiers boarded the ship Madleen, on which among others Greta Thunberg was traveling towards Gaza.
In a statement, the ministry writes that all passengers on the ‘selfie boat’ are safe and unharmed. ‘They were given sandwiches and water. The show is over,’ the ministry writes.” Source
“The UN Special Rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories says that the ship Madleen, on which Greta Thunberg is traveling towards Gaza, must be ‘immediately released’.
During the night towards Monday, the ship was boarded by Israeli forces. It is currently being towed towards the Israeli coastal city of Ashdod, according to Al Jazeera.” Source
It is the country in which the ship is flagged that has complained and that must demonstrate that this has occurred. Iran and other similar states howling about piracy or Greta Thunberg sending a pre-recorded message claiming this has low credibility.
“When Israel stopped the ship Madleen, with among others Greta Thunberg on board, in international waters, the country violated international law. That’s according to Said Mahmoudi, professor of international law at Stockholm University, speaking to TT.
He says that the act violates both customary international law and the rules of the Law of the Sea Convention. However, since Israel is not a party to the Law of the Sea Convention, the case cannot be brought to court.”

How does a Hamas-hugging professor know when the ship was stopped?

When Ship to Gaza was boarded with Mattias Gardell and others on board, they were still in international waters. Wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if the same thing happened again.

The risk of things escalating significantly in LA has probably increased significantly now that Trump has called in the National Guard.
“National Guard in place in LA – fired rubber bullets
For the third day in a row, protesters and police clashed in Los Angeles. During the night, the National Guard began its operation in the city to quell the protests, reports AP.
Around 300 men from the guard were deployed at three locations in the city, and another 2,000 are ready to step in. In addition, 500 Marines are said to be ready to act against the demonstrations, reports CNN.”

“Donald Trump wants the chief of the Los Angeles Police Department to call in soldiers to handle the protests in the city. He writes this on social media, according to CNN.

– It is a protest for our people and our country. I am a native resident but with the way things are developing, we want everyone to be protected, says another protester to SR.”

This is strong tobacco. To intervene or not to intervene from the fed, that is the question. I remember what happened when the leftist activists were released during BLM and Defund the police, resulting in city centers turning into chaotic battlefields.
Newsom asked Congress for emergency aid of $40 billion a few months ago due to the fires raging there. Not sure if it’s been approved and paid out yet. Newsom is often mentioned as a future presidential candidate. This is about more than just immigrants, this is the beginning of the election campaign.
“The unrest in Los Angeles is just what Donald Trump wanted to show his tough side. CNN’s Stephen Collinson writes in an analysis.
However, his goal does not seem to be just to suppress the demonstrations, but also to send a signal to jurisdictions in the country where the Democrats are in power.
‘He is not only showing that he wants to militarize his crackdown on undocumented migrants. He also suggests that he may use the military to act against protesters and dissenters,’ writes Collinson.”

He needs chaos to strengthen his power, and will smear the governor to try to remove him.
“Australian reporter Lauren Tomasi from Nine News was shot by police while covering the demonstrations in Los Angeles on Sunday.
As she stands in front of the camera reporting on the events, a police officer is seen aiming his weapon at her and firing a rubber bullet at her leg. In the clip, Tomasi can be heard screaming as she grabs her leg, while a person next to her yells ‘you just shot a reporter, for god’s sake!’
A British photographer has also been shot with rubber bullets and taken to the hospital.”

Her employer might have provided her with a protective vest that says “press” instead of the same type of face mask that the demonstrators use for disguise. If one is to operate in a confrontational environment, it is important to be clear about who you represent.
If you insist on being in the middle of what’s happening, you have to expect that things can happen.
On the other hand, if you stand with your back to the police 20 meters away, holding a bright blue microphone and surrounded by a bunch of photographers, you might think that you shouldn’t be shot at. Not even if you were one of the protesters, as she probably didn’t come across as a threat.
I guess she wasn’t the intended target. The shooter would probably need a few hours at the shooting range and, most importantly, realize their limitations. In this case, it was a rubber bullet, but in a real situation, an innocent person might have died.
Many journalists who misunderstand the idea of being at the center of events and go to Turkey without press credentials or position themselves between police and demonstrators dressed in the same disguise as the demonstrators. Perhaps it’s time for journalists to wake up and realize that they are not the ones the reports should be about.
Sure, it may seem strange to shoot a journalist but we do not have the complete sequence of events clear to us.
I don’t think it was the journalist who was the target, but someone behind, but if as a police officer you are not sure that you are hitting the right target, you should not shoot unless possibly if you are under immediate threat of death.
You can’t seriously mean that it’s entirely the journalist’s own fault, can you?
Even if it wasn’t a journalist but a demonstrator, one should not have to be shot in the back, not even with a rubber bullet.
Or maybe he saw it as an opportunity to “get back” at the media. There are probably a few hardcore MAGA supporters within the authorities. 🤷♂️

They are probably trying to cross over to get a better scope and eventually be able to surround the city and close the pocket.
But things have been going quite slowly for them lately, they haven’t made any progress since the beginning of April.

‘No grounds for evacuation’ from Sumy, official says amid Russian offensive into region. There are currently no plans for mass civilian evacuations from the city of Sumy, regional Governor Oleh Hryhorov said on June 8, as Russian advances into Sumy Oblast have continued to gain momentum.
On May 31, Hryhorov announced mandatory evacuation orders for 11 more villages due to intensifying attacks, bringing the total number of evacuated settlements in Sumy Oblast to 213.
The open-source battlefield monitoring group DeepState reported on June 8 that Russian forces have occupied the village of Loknia in Sumy Oblast, as the advances on small settlements along the border continues.

Sounds good in a way, at the same time I hope they don’t wait too long if needed.
Ukraine denies Russian troop presence in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast amid offensive, describe situation as ‘tense.’ Despite Russia’s claims of an intrusion into Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Major Andrii Kovalev, a spokesperson for Ukraine’s General Staff denied Russian troop presence in the region.
On May 21, Ukrainian officials rejected [] claims that Russian troops had reached Dnipropetrovsk Oblast’s administrative boundary.
Serhii Lysak, head of the regional military administration, called the reports “fake,” citing doctored photos allegedly showing Russian soldiers in the area.
The Ukrainian monitoring project DeepState analyzed one such image and determined it had been taken in Troitske, a village in Donetsk Oblast.
As a precaution, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast began mandatory evacuations of children and families from four front-line villages in late April — Kolona Mezhova, Novopidhorodne, Raipole, and Sukhareva Balka — located just 5 to 15 kilometers from Russian positions.

That Ukraine is targeting military objectives while Russia is focusing on the Ukrainian civilian population says a lot about how Russians view democracy, it is a problem that weakens the nation.

Russia’s attacks on civilians – Silence, with occasional exceptions.

If the American steel tariffs remain at 50 percent, while China pushes down prices, it risks completely wiping out the European steel industry. This is warned by German giant Thyssenkrupp’s board member Ilse Henne at a conference in Brussels, writes The Guardian.
According to Henne, the industry is now going through an “existential crisis.”
It is on these occasions that it is justified to impose tariffs, in order to protect existing industry.
I agree.

Is 10 artillery pieces really a “huge amount”? 40 trucks? I am doubtful about the choice of words.
💯
We don’t really know what they base the statement on.
We only know what the person who filmed from their car encountered something and it’s edited together.
For example, if that trip took half an hour and captured all that, there could be a lot more being transported. However, if it was filmed during a day and that was the only thing encountered, then maybe not so much, but if it looks similar every day, then it adds up.
“A record build-up of forces in half a year” I interpret as meaning that it looks like that most of the time.
But it’s just speculation, but if it refers to what we see in the film, then it’s not huge amounts.

“Both Donald Trump and the president’s ‘border czar’ Tom Homan have threatened that even politicians in Los Angeles may be arrested if they interfere with the police’s work. In response, California Governor Gavin Newsom, who is in conflict with the president, now answers Homan’s threat.
‘Come and get me then, tough guy. I couldn’t care less. It won’t stop me from standing up for California,’ he writes on X.”

Trump’s “border czar,” Tom Homan, warned Saturday that immigration operations and the presence of federal personnel would continue in the city despite criticism from Democratic leaders who’ve warned it could further escalate protests. He threatened arrest for anyone who obstructs the immigration enforcement effort, including Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass — though he acknowledged that neither yet had “crossed the line.”
“I’ll say about anybody,” Homan said. “You cross that line, it’s a felony to knowingly harbor and conceal an illegal alien. It’s a felony to impede law enforcement doing their job.”
Do we believe that Newson has filled the governor’s palace with illegal immigrants and is throwing stones at the police, or is it a deliberate misinterpretation?
Feels like they are mostly puffing themselves up on both sides.
That’s how it is, a lot of foxplay behind the scenes.
Had not Newson joked a little at Trump’s expense when Trump visited California? So Trump will now show who’s in charge, and try to get Newson locked up for some made-up crime.

Have the Russians started burning more at home? Otherwise, it sounds like a risk of rebellion?
“Russia: “Vodka production in Russia has fallen by 13.2% in five months” Oh dear…”
1,500,000 fewer people drinking
There is something to it of course, but it cannot explain the entire 13% decrease.
The potatoes are finished.
Yes, it may well be due to that to some extent. It’s strange that they should have problems with agricultural products, which after oil and gas are something they have traditionally had high production of.
Idiots, ending with it being justified to deploy the National Guard.

Unfortunately. People are very counterproductive.
Yes, and it probably didn’t get any better by deploying the National Guard, ending with the fact that they will actually be needed.
The master of exaggeration, he is actually embarrassing.
“Donald Trump defends once again the decision to send the National Guard to Los Angeles to handle the large protests. In a statement on Truth Social, the president writes that he made a “good decision”. “If we hadn’t done it, Los Angeles would have been completely wiped out,” he writes.”

One boards a ship, forces it into their own port and then accuses them of illegal immigration? In that case, one should be able to accuse Israel of kidnapping.
“Greta Thunberg and the other activists on the ship boarded by Israeli forces during the night towards Monday will be shown a film with images from Hamas’ terrorist attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.
According to Expressen, they are to be taken to court for illegal immigrants, something that lawyer Nariman Shehade Zoabi opposes. – They were on their way to Gaza, not to Israel.”

I can’t help but agree, it’s idiocy to overload the Ministry for Foreign Affairs with meaningless calls.
“Minister for Foreign Affairs Maria Malmer Stenergard (M) is critical of a large number of people in a campaign in support of Greta Thunberg calling the Ministry for Foreign Affairs. She tells SVT News that it is ‘quite dangerous’. – This results in distressed Swedes abroad having to wait far too long in line.”

Russian forces advancing beyond Pokrovsk-Kostiantynivka highway – Ukrainian military
Russian troops are currently pushing from the eastern side of the Pokrovsk agglomeration and making significant advances beyond the Pokrovsk-Kostiantynivka highway, which runs east of the city of Pokrovsk.
According to him, one possibility is to attempt another flanking maneuver around Pokrovsk, this time from the eastern side of the agglomeration. Alternatively, they could move toward Kostiantynivka and attempt to encircle it from the west. This area could also serve as a springboard for further advances to the north by Russian forces.

I’m sorry to hear that, if Ukraine doesn’t manage to launch a major counteroffensive soon, they will probably lose the city within a few months.
The Khortytsia Operational and Strategic Group of Forces reported this on Telegram, according to Ukrinform.
“The enemy tried to break through our defense lines near Bahatyr, Shevchenkove, and Zaporizhzhia in the Donetsk region. All attacks were successfully repelled. Russian forces continue to concentrate troops and resources for further offensives. Ukrainian defenders are inflicting significant losses on the enemy in personnel and equipment,” the statement reads.

“Ryssland producerar mer ammunition – och gör det mycket snabbare – än alla NATO-länder tillsammans, säger NATO:s generalsekreterare Mark Rutte.
Med hjälp av Iran, Kina och Nordkorea. Bara i år förväntas Ryssland producera 1 500 stridsvagnar, 3 000 pansarfordon och 200 Iskander-missiler.”

“A major fire broke out at a factory in Kazan, Russia. Russian sources have not identified the facility, but Ukrainian Telegram channels suggest it may be a gunpowder factory.
Russian officials claim the fire started in a “paint and varnish workshop,” allegedly due to a problem with a solvent tank.”

Russia has burned about two-thirds of the fund in almost 3.5 years and if it continues at the same pace, it should be depleted in about 1.5 years, so around the end of 2026.
“Russia’s national welfare fund, built from revenues from the oil and gas industry, could be depleted by 2026 if current economic trends continue. This is shown in a report by economists at the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy, as reported by The Moscow Times.
On June 1st, the fund had 2,800 billion rubles in liquid assets, equivalent to approximately 350 billion Swedish kronor. In 2022, before Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the fund had 1,091 billion kronor. The decrease has also been accelerated by budget deficits and expensive infrastructure projects, writes Moscow Times.”
