Fake money airdropped in Gaza with "Your money is with Yahia Sinwar", "The money Yahia Sinwar stole is enough to finance a whole country" and a picture of Yahia Sinwar edited to look like a rat (totally not antisemitic)

John Helmer on Russia's de-electrification campaign in ukraine is interesting if you're into that kind of thing. No badly photoshopped meme in the header though unfortunately. This article discusses the extent of de-electrification that has happened and extent of power imports.

Israel's Channel 12 reports a decision has been made for a 'clear and decisive' response to Iran's attack

Long analysis of the Iranian attack:
https://nitter.poast.org/ArmchairW/status/1780089205399650349

The conclusions to be drawn from the evidence are clear:

• Iran launched a few dozen missiles and drones, not hundreds
• Most of the ballistics fired penetrated air defenses
• Most of the ballistics fired were targeted at Ramon AB
• Nevatim AB was a secondary rather than primary target
• The Golan site was likely struck with cruise missiles
• It is unclear if a large number of drones were even launched
• Israeli "outer-layer" defense systems (read: Arrow) may be ineffective against modern Iranian missiles attacking on depressed trajectories
• Israeli claims about the size of the attack and the success of their defensive effort should not be taken seriously
• Iranian claims about their operational goals and targets should similarly be taken with a large grain of salt, a lot of what has come out of their camp seems to be supposition and speculation

Not sure how credible or accurate this is.

BERLIN, April 18 (Reuters) - Two German-Russian nationals have been arrested in Germany on suspicion of plotting sabotage attacks, including on U.S. military facilities, in a serious effort to undermine military support for Ukraine, officials said on Thursday. Authorities have searched the homes and workplaces of the two suspects who stand accused of working for a foreign secret service. One of them, identified as Dieter S., had since October 2023 discussed possible plots with a person linked to the Russian secret service, prosecutors said.

Dieter S. had been prepared to carry out bomb and arson attacks on military facilities, including those operated by U.S. forces, prosecutors said, adding that he took photos and videos of military transport and equipment. According to Spiegel magazine, the facilities included the Grafenwoehr army base in the southern state of Bavaria where Ukrainian soldiers receive training to use U.S. Abrams tanks. The prosecutors suspect Dieter S., whose last name has not been disclosed due to German privacy laws, was a fighter for Russian-backed forces in eastern Ukraine from Dec. 2014 to Sept. 2016 in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic.

Argentina has formally applied to NATO to become a global member of the organization. NATO said it "welcomed" the country's request for integration.
