Was it really a recent shipment from Ukraine?
It's not coincidental that Kolomoisky has one of the largest factories for ammonia nitrogen based fertilizers.
Yes, they export to Lebanon.
Was this bomb originally meant to take out Zelensky?
But the good guys sent it to Beirut instead?
I wonder how many bags they just delivered?
My read is that some crooked Ukrainians have been arming Hezbollah with Ammonium Nitrate under the guise of 'fertilizer'.
The Mero Star just dropped off a shipment.
And we decided to take down Kolomoisky, his supply lines, and a Hezbollah stash all at once.
We might have underestimated the explosion size…
The company operating the Mero Star is Bia Shipping, which is a ghost company supposedly in Romania, that has been accused before of arms running into Syria and Crimea.
Holy shit.
Is it true? They were actually storing a mountain of that stuff?

This doesn't mean it wasn't also an Hezbollah munitions depot.
They could have been making bombs out of this stuff.
Convenient supply.
Agree it was set off originally by a missile or bomb.
But the secondary explosion was something in the warehouse blowing up.
Not sure if that part was planned.
So somebody needed to drop ~170 tons of fuel oil onto that stash to set off all that AN?
Or, the AN had already been converted to munitions?
Butanone oxime
Would that be a good additive?
That is what just blew up the factory in Wuhan
