    Turkey’s free fall continues. No one knows where the bottom is: Turkey withdraws its signature from Istanbul Convention, a Council of Europe treaty designed to prevent violence against women. It was already dark but now it is getting darker.

    1)This vessel regularly carries aviation jet fuel to Russian Armed Forces in Syria. 2)This vessel is de facto Russian Navy auxiliary. 3)This vessel should not transit the Turkish Straits. 4)Simply preventing the transit of this vessel will cripple Russia's campaign in Syria.

    Russia distracted the world into pointless inspection of grain carriers while Russian vessels disguised as civilian merchants transit Bosphorus towards Med carrying jet fuel for Russian Air Force, technical military cargo for Russian Army and Russian defense exports to Asia.

    We wonder if we can visit all Istanbul ports in a single day ? @BenKendim1 calculated that we can use the current winter timetable and make many connections and go to all the @sehir_hatlari ports (except Ortaköy) in a single day. We will try. We start at Bostancı 04:45local GMT+3

    Official Russia can no longer distinguish between reality and fantasy: In the picture we see fires burn in and around Saddam Hussein's palace in Baghdad in 2003.

    Disappearing ships of the Black Sea: Russia's great grain plunder continues unabated. Russian flag Sormovskiy 48, carrying 3000t corn from occupied Kerch, enters the port of Karasu with no AIS. Vessel went dark from tracking 3 days ago with false destination Izmir. #OATT
