More Nord Stream ‘Bombshells’ To Come – Seymour HershPulitzer-prize winning journalist Seymour Hersh has promised to reveal more incriminating information linking the US to the demolition of the Nord Stream gas pipelines. Last week, he released a report blaming the US for the attack and detailing how the Biden administration and the CIA planned the operation.

In a post to his Substack page on Wednesday, Hersh slammed the mainstream media – singling out the New York Times and Washington Post – for refusing to “run a word” on the pipeline story, and for ignoring Russia and China’s calls for an international investigation.

Both papers, he said, published his exposés on the US military’s war crimes in Vietnam, but are now seemingly uninterested in “national security or matters of war and peace.”

Ukraine Must Learn How To Use Ammo - UK DefMinBritish Defense Minister Ben Wallace said that the Ukrainian military needs to learn how to use ammunition economically in an interview with Times Radio.

He called the massive shelling carried out by the Ukrainian Armed Forces with the use of heavy ammunition "the Russian or Soviet way of fighting."

“We in the West and in NATO never fight like this. Ukraine uses a huge amount of ammunition to protect itself. Partly because of this, we are training them to fight in a Western way.”

India Reaps Export Boom as Europe and US Search for Fuel to Replace Russia – reportsIndia shipped out gasoline and diesel at near-record volumes in March, despite being the world’s third-largest oil consumer, as the country took advantage of high profit margins in selling the fuels abroad.

Gasoline exports reached a five-year high of 1.6mn tons, while 3.37mn tons of diesel were exported in March, the highest since April 2020, when overseas sales were a record 3.4mn tons as local demand plummeted due to Covid curbs. (Bloomberg)

Western sanctions on Russia have seen profit margins on diesel and gasoline surge, with Indian refineries reportedly capitalizing on the demand by deferring maintenance to produce more diesel and gasoline.

Chinese Ships Detected Near Disputed IslandsTwo Chinese coast guard vessels entered Japan’s territorial waters near the uninhabited Senkaku Islands Monday morning, NHK news reports.

The ships entered the long-disputed waters about 20km off the island of Minami Kojima at around 7am and approached a Japanese fishing boat, the Japanese public broadcaster reported, citing Coast Guard officials.

Monday’s incident, according to the outlet’s figures, marks the seventh time this year that Japan has spotted Chinese ships navigating off the islands - Beijing insists that its Coast Guard is simply patrolling territorial waters.
