@kravietz 🦇 Russian orthodox across the world, Sweden recently shut some down and it has been like this for years, influence operations, keeps them in with ex-pat communities, cover for officers and agents. Their local agent will run 'charity events' at a fancy estate, all beluga and bibs ekkel, we send some 2nd secretary 😏 and get to look the enemy in the eye. But actually running them directly as spotters, is dumb. Maybe it is the difficulty of grooming bored teenagers to do it. #KirilRolex

Beware Z-Nuns. The ROC and its Belarusian cutouts have long provided mobility, access to community networks, and an excuse to be near sensitive sites without raising flags. They travel in pairs, are seldom searched aggressively, outreach to communities without suspicion, and their 'charitable' activities justify repeated visits to build human networks.

@nprofile1q... "So we’re back to the status quo before Trump began his war."

Oh sweet summer child - no you are not. In brevis: Iran now operate the Straits as their toll gate and set conditions of passage, have quadrupled the price of their oil revenue. They lost of a lot of outdated military hardware that clearly was not much use to their more asymmetric posture sure but the regime is renewed with new leadership and are battle hardened. All in all they seem to be in good shape.

I was watching The Pitt recently with my wife and realized, its just star trek, just condensed. Its competency porn, which is my favorite type of entertainment

@nprofile1q... I was wondering recently what do they do all day on Star Trek. They seem grossly overstaffed. Sure it seems busy when there are klingons on the starboard bow but the rest of the star dates? Does Scotty have engineering problems enough to keep him busy? Bones could feasibly have a pretty busy surgery modern meds notwithstanding, but the rest of them? Navigation doesn't seem that difficult, it seems all mostly automated. There could be quite a lot of going boldly without incident.
