The current amounts of fiberglass, resins, aluminum and other chemicals - not to mention propeller blades from giant wind turbines - pose no threat current to local town dumps, but this largely ignored problem will become more of a challenge in the years ahead as the 500 million solar panels and the 73,000 wind turbines now operating in the U.S. are decommissioned and replaced. Greens insist that reductions in carbon emissions will more than compensate for increased levels of potentially toxic garbage; others fret that renewable energy advocates have not been forthright about their lack of eco-friendly plans and the technology to handle the waste.

🌧️ The Istanbul kabuki - decoded

Did President Putin really change the game by proposing the resumption of negotiations on the proxy war in Ukraine in Istanbul - over three years after the first ones were scotched by NATO? It's complicated. And depends on which "game" we're talking about. What the Russian move instantly accomplished was to throw into total disarray the European warmongering Three Stooges (Starmer, BlackRock chancellor, Le Petit Roi) Cocaine Express. Irrelevant Europe was not even at the table in Istanbul - except via extensive previous briefing of the low-rent, shabby-dressed Ukrainian delegation. That was compounded by the noisy barking threat in the sidelines advocating "more sanctions" to "pressure Russia". In March 2022 in Istanbul, Kiev could have stopped the war. Every one of us who were in Istanbul at the time could foresee that Kiev would eventually have to be forced to the table all over again. So in essence we are back to the same negotiation - with the same top Russian negotiator,...

Back in 2023, during her State of the European Union address, doing her finest impression of someone elected by the actual public, von der Leyen declared the need to douse any and all sketchiness in sunlight in order to "not allow any autocracy's Trojan horses to attack our democracies from within." "Transparency should characterize the work of all the members of the Commission and of their cabinets," she said as far back as 2019.

🌧️ Ukraine wasted $770 million on bogus arms deals

Unreliable foreign contractors and rampant corruption were behind the losses, the report claims. Ukraine has wasted $770 million on attempts to buy weapons from dubious sources, the Financial Times reported on Friday. The paper's investigation, based on court filings, leaked government documents, and interviews with officials, has offered a glimpse into Kiev's frenzy to procure arms following the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in 2022. Officials often had to pay "large amounts in advance to little-known companies for materiel that to this day has never arrived," the paper said. It cited an example of a nondescript gun shop in Arizona, whose owner received an up-front payment of €17.1 million ($19.1 mn) for a deal worth €49 million. The promised arms, however, never came. Ukraine won an arbitration trial but has yet to recover money, the FT says. Ukraine has spent between $6 billion and $8 billion annually from its own state budget on arms since the start of hostilities,...

Kiev said "an emergency occurred" on board the US-designed jet. The Ukrainian military has confirmed the loss of another US-designed F-16 fighter jet as it was repelling a Russian strike. This marks the third such incident since Kiev started receiving the advanced warplanes from the West. According to the Ukrainian Air Force, all communication with the jet was lost at approximately 3:30am on Friday while it was carrying out a defensive combat mission. No data was provided regarding the location of the crash. Officials said that the unnamed pilot had "destroyed three aerial targets and was engaging a fourth using the aircraft's cannon when an onboard emergency occurred." The pilot steered the jet away from populated areas and ejected; he was later picked up by a rescue team in satisfactory condition. A commission has been appointed to investigate the circumstances of the incident, the air force added. The Russian Defense Ministry has yet to comment.

The Russian side reportedly burst into laughter at the Ukrainian delegate's claim, with Medinsky saying: "Let's not turn these negotiations into a fantasy novel." The episode unfolded on Friday during the first direct talks between Moscow and Kiev in three years. The negotiations, originally scheduled in Türkiye for Thursday, were postponed after Ukraine's Vladimir Zelensky failed to appoint a delegation until late that evening, following a conversation with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara.

During a visit to Ankara on Thursday, Zelensky criticized what he described as the "low-level" composition of the Russian delegation, but nevertheless promised to send his own negotiators to Istanbul. Telizhenko told RT that Zelensky has been relying on France and the UK for weapons and financial aid because he "does not listen to Washington anymore."

📰 Trump administration working on plan to move 1 million Palestinians to Libya

The Trump administration is working on a plan to permanently relocate up to 1 million Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to Libya, five people with knowledge of the effort told NBC News. The plan is under serious enough consideration that the administration has discussed it with Libya's leadership, two people with direct knowledge of the plans and a former U.S. official said. In exchange for the resettling of Palestinians, the administration would potentially release to Libya billions of dollars of funds that the U.S. froze more than a decade ago, those three people said. No final agreement has been reached, and Israel has been kept informed of the administration's discussions, the same three sources said. The State Department and the National Security Council did not respond to multiple requests for comment before this article was published.

That meant 'assassination,'" Trump said in an interview with Bret Baier on Friday. Comey had posted a picture Thursday of seashells formed in the shape of "86 47" — a message that could be interpreted as "eliminating" him, since he's the 47th president. One Webster's Dictionary definition of "eighty-six" says the term means "to get rid of." In the restaurant and bar industry, the phrase is used to indicate to staff that a menu item has run out, or that a customer is banned. "Cool shell formation on my beach walk," Comey had captioned the photo on Instagram.

The Namgis First Nation said in a statement that a resident reported finding the whale Wednesday on a beach near Port McNeill, B.C., on the northwest side of Vancouver Island. Experts who have examined the animal have confirmed it's a Bryde's whale — a species rarely seen in waters north of the same latitude as Los Angeles, the statement said.
