Starting a war by detaining ships on the sea is not a good idea at the moment with the electorate of most Western countries unwilling to commit to it.

@mbpaz @HistoPol
The EU has a navy, but not much of one I don't think.

The U.S. navy has been stretched thin because of our responsibilities in the Pacific and Middle East over the past few years.

I'm hoping that Europe does step forward to take more responsibility towards enforcing international rules and norms soon.

@HistoPol
I suspect that the shadow fleet is only delivering Russian oil to countries like Turkey, South Africa, China, India, etc.

The Russian fossil fuel tracking site is:

Actually, Ukraine has Russians on their territory now because they didn't separate themselves from the Kremlin back in 1991. No one is to blame for the situation that Ukrainians are in but themselves and they should have gratitude for what their allies have done instead of being petulant babies unwilling to defend themselves.

Oh, that's the first I heard that Kyiv has fallen to Putin. That's sad to hear about.

I've seen a lot of people using the hurricanes to attack EVs by asserting that they wouldn't be able to move because the electricity grids go down.

Well, Gas Buddy is reporting that half of the gas stations in the path of #Milton are out of gas.

We need to change our society such that purveyors of malinformation pay a higher price for the damage they cause.

This man has a sentencing hearing next month for, checks notes, cheating in the 2016 election.

@NeonPurpleStar @andrewdessler
I'm not, I hope. I just want to get some info out at this point in the election that I feel is important in regard to getting and protecting climate actions.

@NeonPurpleStar
More on how widely blocked my account has gotten.

I run into this more than once per day while on Mastodon.

I see replies on posts, but when I open them nothing shows up. This is because the account(s) that replied have blocked mine.

Related to you query @andrewdessler doesn't this def. work?

CIDs are physical climate system conditions (e.g., means, events, extremes) that affect an element of society or ecosystems and are thus a priority for climate information provision.

@NeonPurpleStar
I'm pretty sure that more than 500 people have blocked me, but you are probably right there may be accounts that have been rejected by more people than has mine.

@NeonPurpleStar
During the first half of the Biden administration, most climate activists on Mastodon that migrated here got angry at me for defending Joe Biden's climate actions related to the broader issue of maintaining enough political capital to govern the USA and keep Republicans from getting more power.

Then, post-October 7th things got worse as I defended Joe Biden from Iran's political technology campaign to weaken him and Democrats even worse.

@NeonPurpleStar
That's great thanks. I don't want anyone to broadcast messages that their audiences don't want to hear.

Although, that I do is why I am probably the most blocked account on Mastodon.

There are going to be a lot of people spreading misinformation about the Biden/Harris administration's record on climate.

A common lie I see spread by the horseshoed leftists is about Joe Biden and federal oil & gas leases.

I have graphed out the numbers from the BLM here.

The thing that they're hiding from you is that most oil & gas in the USA is extracted from private lands and not federal property.

You can see a distinct contrast in these numbers between red & blue for sure.

I have a favor to ask. Since I'm probably the account that has been blocked by the most people on the Fediverse I'm wondering if you could screenshot the post above and share it that way so that it might get out to more climate advocates that way.

Anyways, the fossil fuel industry would not be spending so much trying to get Democrats out of power unless they are scared of the #ClimateAction they'll accomplish.

Lying is the modern GOP platform.

We've got to get these dangerous madpeople out of power!

@anneapplebaum2000
The West has way more resources than Moscow has access to. Putin's days are numbered. He won't last long past November unless the U.S. elections go his way.

@tuckfrump @anneapplebaum2000
Both @MAKS23 and @noelreports post the Russian daily losses that the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense publishes. Hard to say how accurate, nothing is in wartime, but they align well with many other war monitors.

This week it looks like Moscow's army might have lost over 2,000 soldiers in one day. I think that they are able to recruit about 500 soldiers per day if that and every soldier is someone that cannot work in a weapons factory.

Russia is screwed.

Haven't seen much news about this:

Russians recently poisoned the river Seym as it flows into #Ukraine

Everything in it has died over a 650km stretch and this river empties into another, which then feeds into a major reservoir used for drinking water. The river can no longer be used for swimming or watering or anything as it's now a danger to terrestrial life around it.

Melania Trump is set to upend the election somewhat by voicing strong support for reproductive rights.

She wrote in her new memoir that a "woman's fundamental right of individual liberty" grants her "the authority to terminate her pregnancy if she wishes."

Australian mining tycoon Andrew Forrest, founder and executive chairman of Fortescue, says it is time for the world to walk away from the "fantasy" of net zero emissions by 2050 and to embrace "real zero" by 2040 instead.

Forrest is calling on business executives and politicians reluctant to make the changes necessary to avert the worst of what the climate crisis has in store to make way for leaders willing to take on the decarbonization challenge.
