1/ Donald Trump's diesel deal with Russia has effectively collapsed, with none of the tankers carrying diesel reaching the US because of the political and legal risks involved. Russian commentators say it's a sign that deals with Trump are worthless. ⬇️ bsky.app/profile/mari...

The last diesel tanker which was still heading for US shores has turned around. So in summary, Trump's diesel deal with Putin caused no diesel to arrive in the US, didn't drop diesel prices, and caused his party to badly lose the US Midterms. The Art Of The Deal indeed. 📉💥

...It is impossible to tell which story is correct, or if two ships were hit [making both stories correct], but SBU is only claiming one ship (Naro-Fominsk) was struck

...Several hours before SBU's announcement was released, one Russian social media outlet was already reporting that an unnamed Uragan-class (Project 22800) missile patrol boat was struck in the Gulf of Finland near Gogland Island... t.me/evilsailor2/... t.me/Crimeanwind/...

Thread summary: Two RF Navy Pacific Fleet Dolgorukiy-class nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines departed port in October 2026 - one is likely on a strategic deterrence patrol - the other likely launched an SS-N-32 [Bulava] SLBM and has returned to port

Second Dolgorukiy-class sub (likely Generalissimus Suvorov) left port nine days later; entered port after 11-day underway period (21 October-1 November) bsky.app/profile/spec... - similar underway duration for Bulava SLBM launches in 2020 (Vladimir Monomakh/15 days) and 2024 (Knyaz Oleg/16 days)
