The author said nuclear-powered ships had existed for decades and wrote that companies in Russia, China, Europe and the U.S. were pursuing designs for nuclear-powered cargo ships and floating nuclear plants that could be towed or rented. https://t.co/7hCik9yGai #NuclearEnergy #ShippingIndustry #Innovation #RU #CN #EU #US

The post described the situation in the Black Sea as deeply alarming, saying a Turkish vessel had been struck by a Russian drone the previous day and three more civilian ships had come under attack that day, two within Bulgaria’s exclusive economic zone. It said Estonia condemned the attacks in the strongest terms. #BlackSea #Estonia #Peace #TR #RU #BG #EE

The author described the situation in the Black Sea as increasingly concerning, saying commercial vessels and their crews were being targeted and lives had already been lost at sea. They said two commercial vessels had been hit in Bulgaria’s economic zone in the Black Sea that day and began to refer to a Turkish ship the previous day, but did not complete the sentence. #BlackSea #ShippingSafety #MaritimeSecurity #BG #TR

The author said the attack showed that Iran could see ships with their AIS turned off just as well as other vessels. They questioned why ships would disable AIS, suggesting it could be for propaganda: creating a “shadow fleet” hidden from the public and shaping perceptions of its size to influence markets. https://t.co/jf3xByyUi1 #Iran #AIS #Shipping #IR

The author said few people were asking why the IRGC was attacking ships, given claims that the number of vessels transiting the Strait was far lower than advertised. They described the counterargument as relying on blurry images comparable to Bigfoot sightings. #StraitOfHormuz #IRGC #MaritimeSecurity #IRGC #STRAIT

OIL GLUT 2.0 has just provoked fresh missile salvos launched at ships. This nonsense does not just further wreck the economy, it costs lives. The people who purposely should be ashamed tbh. 🛢️ #OILGLUT #Economy #MissileSalvos #Nospecificcountrycodescanbeidentifiedinthetweetprovided.

“The Abolition of Slavery — and Its Unfinished History Slavery is far older than the transatlantic slave trade. It existed for thousands of years in societies across the Middle East, Europe, Africa and the Americas. It was therefore not invented by Europeans or white people. But another part of the history deserves recognition. In the late 18th and 19th centuries, predominantly European and Western abolitionist movements developed sustained political campaigns against the slave trade and slavery. Britain is a major example. British abolitionists such as William Wilberforce, Thomas Clarkson and Granville Sharp, together with Black activists and formerly enslaved people such as Olaudah Equiano, campaigned for abolition. Parliament abolished Britain’s slave trade in 1807, and slavery throughout most of the British Empire through the 1833 Slavery Abolition Act, with emancipation beginning in 1834. Britain then used its navy and diplomacy to suppress the international slave trade. Between 1808 and 1870, British naval forces seized roughly 1,400 slave ships and liberated around 160,000 enslaved people. This does not erase Britain’s earlier role in the slave trade. Nor was abolition exclusively a white achievement. Black activists, former slaves, religious groups and others were important to the movement. Nevertheless, Western societies became leading forces in creating political, legal, diplomatic and military mechanisms to suppress the Atlantic slave trade and abolish slavery. And slavery has not disappeared. The latest global estimates, based on 2021 data, put the number living in modern slavery at 49.6 million: 27.6 million in forced labour and 22 million in forced marriage. About 29.3 million were in Asia and the Pacific, 7.0 million in Africa, 6.4 million in Europe and Central Asia, 1.7 million in the Arab States and 5.1 million in the Americas. Slavery is ancient and global; Europeans became major participants in the transatlantic system and later major forces in its abolition. Yet an estimated 49.6 million people were still living in modern slavery in 2021” - ChatGPT

Russia’s persistent attacks on Ukraine’s ships, ports, trains and railway infrastructure are part of a systematic effort to isolate Ukraine from the world and leave its civilians hungry, cold and in the dark. This is not only a grave weaponisation of civilian infrastructure and #Ukraine #Russia #CivilianSafety #RU #UA

Unclear if these ships were definitely hit BUT in the video released by the IRGC you can clearly see a Qassem Basir being launched. If these missiles have terminal infrared guidance I see no reason why they couldn’t hit a moving vessel. 🚀🚢 https://t.co/XjEcNimQTY #missiles #IRGC #navalconflict #IR #QA

“Let the message to the IRGC be clear: If you shoot at two of our ships, we will impose an even higher economic cost — taking out three of yours,” Admiral Brad Cooper, who runs Central Command, said in the post. 🚨LITERAL GRUGS ARE IN CONTROL OF THE GLOBAL ECONOMY! 🚨 https://t.co/hncWYBXQ5V #IRGC #GlobalEconomy #EconomicSanctions #IRGC
