A Guardian investigation, based on interviews with current and former Bosnian and US officials, leaked documents and corporate paperwork, has examined the obscure company that has been thrust into the global struggle for energy supremacy.

1 of AAFS’s reps is a Washington lawyer who has acted for the Trumps in political cases. The other is the brother of the president’s former national security adviser. Both were part of a campaign that is close to Trump’s heart: the effort to overturn his defeat in the 2020 presidential election.

The company has no record of even attempting anything close to this scale. What it does have is personal connections to Donald Trump.

US will need years to replenish stockpiles of advanced weapons used in Iran war, new analysis finds

The Gaza Health Ministry reports that at least 733 Palestinians have been killed & 2,034 injured in Israeli attacks during the ceasefire period alone. Those numbers sit within a larger toll. >72,000 people killed & over 171,000 injured in Gaza since Oct 2023, as per Palestinian health authorities.

The strike reportedly occurred nearly 6 months after a US-brokered ceasefire took effect last Oct. Palestinian authorities say that agreement has been violated roughly 2,000 times by the Israeli military since its implementation.

Wishah was reportedly traveling on al-Rashid Street when the strike hit, according to Al Jazeera. He had been with the network since 2018. His death, nearly six months into what was supposed to be a ceasefire period, adds to a toll that has no precedent in modern conflict —

plunge western Europe into extreme cold winters and summer droughts, and add 50-100cm to already rising sea levels around the Atlantic. The Amoc system is highly complex and subject to random natural variations, making precise predictions impossible.

Captain Zlog @spaceconveyor.bsky.social · 16/04/2026
The Amoc is a major part of the global climate system and brings sun-warmed tropical water to Europe and the Arctic, where it cools and sinks to form a deep return current. A collapse would shift the tropical rainfall belt on which many millions of people rely to grow their food,

The research combined real-world ocean observations with the models to determine the most reliable, and this hugely reduced the spread of uncertainty. They found an estimated slowdown of 42% to 58% in 2100, a level almost certain to end in collapse.

Scientists spotted warning signs of a tipping point in 2021 and know that the Amoc has collapsed in the Earth’s past. Climate scientists use dozens of different computer models to assess the future climate. However, for the complex Amoc system, these produce widely varying results,

He does not consider the wider implications of his decisions. He does not take responsibility when these decisions go wrong. Instead, he acts on whim and impulse, and when he changes his mind—when he feels new whims and new impulses—he simply lies about whatever he said or did before.
