Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner’s business partners have been convicted of 19 counts of sex trafficking. It’s odd how many sex offenders the Trump family is connected to.

🇺🇸 Trump at 9:00 –– "Regime change was not our goal. We don't want that" 🇺🇸 Trump at 9:07 –– "Regime change is what we want. It is needed" Trust me, both statements are just 7 minutes apart made in the same speech 🤣 🇮🇷 Iran has made him lose his mind

Russian KZU demolition charges used for demolition and sabotage operations. 12 kg of RDX and TNT in the semi-cylinder body forms a linear shaped-charge that punches oblong holes in steel, armor plate, and reinforced concrete.

The MVCh-62 pressure fuze for the TM-62 anti-tank mine is used extensively by both sides in Ukraine. It has a mechanical clockwork arming delay that gradually raises a firing pin assembly from a sideways position, until the primer and booster are vertically in line. 1/2

⚠️TYLENOL & AUTISM—RFK Jr and Trump are wrong—the largest & best study in the world in 2.5 MILLION KIDS—found no increased autism risk with acetaminophen (aka paracetamol, Tylenol) use by the mother during pregnancy. A crude unadjusted analysis found only a preliminary 5% risk, but once you adjust for family by matching using sibling controls (who didn’t get autism), the even tiny 5% risk vaporizes to 0% 📉. (Fun fact: I used to do drug safety epidemiology and have been whistleblower against big pharma when their drugs were dangerous—so I know a few things about drug safety data). Thread 🧵.

Because until recently, Canada was able to rely on a neighbor for arms deals. Suddenly, they aren't so reliable.

Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.

The mechanism of an AK magazine booby trap found in Bosnia 1995 is described in a nicely done animation. The video also serves as a clear explanation of the functioning of the Russian MUV-4 fuze.
Replying to @GrandpaRoy2
The MUV-4 has a viscous delay with different color coded options of 25, 45, 60, 85, and 130 minutes. Pulling the safety pin allows the striker spring to pull the piston through the fluid. Two lockballs eventually reach an escape point. Only the release pin now holds the striker.

Two points worth flagging here. 1. Given these dimensions (168 x 30 x 30 cm), it doesn’t take any expertise to surmise that you could load a bunch of them onto a regular-sized lorry in pretty short order. And if the photos that have been posted online of a fleet of trucks leaving Fordow the other day, what are the odds that the centrifuges were long gone when the MOPs hit? iranwatch.org/our-publicatio…

Let's say Iran decides to rush a bomb. Iran can install ~1.5 cascades a week. In six weeks, it could have 9 cascades of IR-6 machines. It would take those machines about 60 days to enrich all 400 kg to WGU. Altogether that's about five months although IMMV. 12/17

Five things to remember about war: 1. Many things reported with confidence in the first hours and days will turn out not to be true 2. Whatever they say, the people who start wars are often thinking chiefly about domestic politics 3. The rationale given for a war will change over time, such that actual success or failure in achieving a named objective is less relevant than one might think 4. Wars are unpredictable 5. Wars are easy to start and hard to stop
