1. Over the last couple of days I've been monitoring the impact of marine trade routes as it relates to the Suez Canal and Russia's northern route - heres one I took yesterday for the show but didn't get to it - and the same area now.
2. It looks like a few more tankers and much further East (indicated by the red icons). Putin has built several ports and military bases along the route making it easier to navigate. Like those road-side stops on a busy highway.

The FBI is going public in its search for Putin's chef Yevgeny Prigozhin and a crew of other social media manipulators and operators involved in electing Trump in 2016.
But these indictments are 2 years old so why now? Same FBI office is investigating Jan 6 2021. You may recall we exposed some Russian operatives involved in the attempted coup of Jan 6, including one Kristina Malimon.
Totally speculating but It wouldn't surprise me if the sexpot Kristina Malimon was connected to Prigozhin and his crew. The other surprise FBI search announcement is for Konstantin Kilimnik
