Proud to have participated in this investigative piece. Russia's "shadow fleet" is an impt target for economic sanctions that also benefits the planet. Russia's malignant negligence in its oil and shipping industries caused this spill in the Black Sea, possible anywhere dangerous tankers sail.

Why the "Mump Regime"? For a new world we need new words. Facing the coming Musk-Trump regime, it will not be enough to rely on the standard terms ("administration," "presidency", and the like). That normalizes the abnormal.
