Happy to finally publish a work that was in the making for a while. In May 2026 alone, Russia launched 7,433 Shaheds a new record. No signs of slowing down.
The factory behind this is Alabuga let’s go down together and look at its capabilities.
📰 How many Shahed engines is Russia actually building at Alabuga? @HartreeFock breaks down the factory footage for casting, forging, heat treatment, serial numbers, and estimates the production scale. The answer is sobering.

In Ukraine, they think that Russia has run out of air defense and fuel.
Share your photos and videos to prove that Russia still has air defense and oil depots to destroy Ukrainian propaganda

🇫🇷 French Army and Thales Defence have successfully completed the demonstration and evaluation campaign of the 120MC (120mm mortar carrier) system at Camp Canjuers. @ThalesDefence @thalesgroup
During the trials, the system fired 50 rounds, demonstrating its accuracy, safety, and rapid deployment.
120MC, also called Viper, is jointly developed by Thales; Dutch specialist vehicle developer, Defenture B.V.; and Spanish defense and security company, Escribano Mechanical and Engineering (EM&E) Group. The Viper 120 system features Escribano's EMOC mortar system, equipped with Thales 120mm rifled mortar barrel, integrated onto a Defenture GRF Vector 4x4 light tactical vehicle. @emegroup_
The system uses the same barrel as the French Army's MO-120 RT (rayé tracté, rifled towed) heavy mortar and offers equivalent performance, while also providing greater mobility and responsiveness through its integration onto a 4x4 light vehicle.
This intermediate solution complements Thales' 120mm towed mortar system and the 2R2M/MEPAC system based on the larger VBMR Griffon 6x6 vehicle.
This new system will strengthen the French Army's mobile and reactive fire support capabilities in high-intensity environments.

Degrowth is dumb.
We can have an abundant and equitable future by (largely) replacing digging fossil fuels out of the ground and burning them with clean energy technologies like solar, wind, geothermal, nuclear, etc.

The next war won't be won by armies, navies or air forces alone.
It'll be won by the country whose 19 year olds can code, whose factories can build drones in weeks not years, and whose grid stays on when someone tries to switch it off.
Industry. Society. Economy. That's the fight now.
We're not ready. And we're not being honest about what getting ready will cost.

Think it is an important if somewhat speculative point. The Arabification of Neoliberalism may, for the first time in history, create a unified Euro-Semitic ideology that would bring together ancient English and ancient Quranic influences. Hayek & Mohammed through Tony Blair

I spoke of it very briefly at my book promotion yesterday in Paris--I think it is an important if somewhat speculative point. The Sinification of Marxism may, for the first time in history, create a unified Euro-Asian ideology that would bring together ancient Greek and ancient Chinese influences. Plato & Confucius through Marx.

The strangest oil trade of 2026 isn't happening at sea.
It's 700 tanker trucks a day crossing the Iraq–Syria desert.
The biggest winner is a government that barely produces oil at all.
Hormuz shut → Iraq lost 90% of export revenue.
Baghdad will take ANY outlet.
So 2 land corridors opened: al-Waleed in Anbar (31 March) and Rabia/Yarubiyah (20 April) the latter sealed since 2013.
Destination: Baniyas, Syria's Mediterranean port. Then by sea to Europe.
The numbers are medieval and massive at once:
500–700 trucks/day, 30 tonnes each.
Baniyas unloading capacity up 30%, 120k bpd flowing. Baseline 150k bpd, target 350k.
Moving just 50k bpd of crude takes 1,000 trucks running nonstop, this is a pipeline made of wheels.
💰The economics
Here's the desperation premium: SOMO is paying $20–22 per barrel to move fuel oil by land.
By sea it costs cents.
Iraq signed for 650k tonnes/month anyway because the alternative isn't a cheaper route.... It's zero.
Damascus collects on every barrel: transit fees, storage, port charges, plus cheap Iraqi fuel.
At $2–3/bbl that's $8–13M/month, rising to $21–30M at full flow.
For al-Sharaa's empty treasury, possibly his most reliable hard-currency stream.
The worse Iraq's crisis gets, the more Syria earns.
The structural irony is that Iran shut Hormuz to punish its enemies.
Result, Iraqi oil money now flows to a Damascus government Tehran calls an adversary while Iraq, Iran's closest Arab partner, sits on life support.
Chokepoints don't choose their victims, Geography does.

Ok, fellas, we see all your tags and we get it.
But.
Being a shitty person doesn't make someone a legitimate military target under international law. Climbing on a tank for internet clout isn't enough to become a combatant.
Do something that actually qualifies — then we can talk. Until then, we'll keep our drones for real military targets 😉

Helt naturlig at menneskesmugleren og voldtektsmannen Andrew Tate også promoterer den russiske hæren, som er en overgrepsmaskin uten like blant moderne væpnete styrker
🤡 Andrew Tate has suddenly found himself in the Russian army
The controversial influencer is now learning how to shout “Yes, sir!”, march in formation, and do squats with a cigarette hanging from his mouth.
Of course, it’s all for show.
While he faces allegations in Europe involving rape, human trafficking, and the sexual exploitation of minors, Tate is spending his time in Russia filming content and playing soldier on military training grounds.

The Russians entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them.

Important piece on gruelling scale of the mental health challenges facing a Syrian population that endured decades of dictatorship. So much pain was necessarily hidden, or repressed, in those years. The psychological toll is staggering.

As Syria emerges from prolonged conflict, its people have substantial and complex mental health needs.

Two flying school buses being able to successfully penetrate 1000km into Russian airspace.
It will only get worse from here.

First good look at a Ukrainian FP-5 Flamingo heavyweight cruise missile on a combat mission, seen here having already penetrated almost 1000 km into Russian airspace.
At least two of the 40-foot-long missiles hit Russia's VNIIR Progress electronics plant this morning.

Interesting piece. From an EU perspective I reckon while it is crucial to rearm and push back against Russian expansionism as long as Putin is in power it might also be essential to start developing contingency plans for a time of troubles inside Russia after he is gone
Jun 8
As much as Russia's elites are at odds over the future, they increasingly appear to agree about the present is both unsustainable and undesirable. And that creates a new kind of problem for a Putin wedded to futurelessness.
