NATO countries have launched an operation in the Black Sea: they are clearing the shipping corridor of mines
A group of ships of the Bulgarian and Romanian navies has started trawling (searching for and neutralizing sea mines) along the coast of Bulgaria, Andriy Klymenko, the head of the monitoring group of the Black Sea Strategic Research Institute, said.
The decision to start trawling was made on October 12, 2023 at a meeting in the Ramstein format in Brussels, and on October 16 the ships already went to sea.
The operation to search for mines is not limited to the territorial waters (12-mile zone) of Bulgaria, but extends to the adjacent water area, through which the routes of bulk carriers of the new Ukrainian grain corridor pass
They are both cut from the same cloth. Think it's all about making a lot of noise.

1. The October pogrom came to the sinking Arab world, crumbling, divided, conflicted, poor, without hope for a better future. Here, precisely the Palestinians - whom no one in the Arab world thought were capable of anything other than rapprochement with the Gulf countries and the West, proved that they can surprise Israel and strike it with barbarism that arouses mass enthusiasm.
2. Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen, Egypt, Jordan, the territories of the Palestinian Authority - states and political entities in partial or total collapse, are the main centers of identification with Hamas and "Palestine". The October pogrom became a source of inspiration for all the spineless people in the Middle East, who hate Israel because it succeeds where they repeatedly fail. This inspiration will also disappear!

Russia has been racking up some incredible losses. Last gasp?
Ukraine is using the frozen assets of Russian banks to pay replacements for houses that were bombed
The first plea deal was 6 misdemeanors. The second, not surprising, was a felony. And he will be giving up everything and everybody.
