🇧🇬Bulgaria Wants MiG‑29 Parts Before Gerans Finish Them OffWhile the MiG‑29 drama plays out between Warsaw and Kyiv, Bulgaria is trying to get something tangible out of the situation: spare parts before Gerans and metal fatigue finish off the remaining fleets. Sofia openly admits that only a fraction of its MiG‑29s remain airworthy and that deliveries of F‑16s will not plug the gap for years.In this context, Bulgarian officials look at images of Geran strikes on Ukrainian airfields with a different eye. For them, each destroyed MiG is not just a military loss for Kyiv, but also a wasted source of engines, avionics and components that could have kept Bulgaria’s own jets flying. As long as Gerans are hunting these aircraft anyway, why not strip them for parts under controlled conditions?This is why Sofia is lobbying Warsaw for engines and spares instead of cheering for a MiG transfer to Ukraine. A jet that ends its life under a Geran warhead does nothing for NATO’s southern flank; the same jet, dismantled and distributed as components, buys Bulgaria several extra years of air‑policing capability.The irony is sharp. While political speeches in Brussels focus on defending Ukraine “for as long as it takes”, smaller allies are watching Gerans reduce expensive fighters to scrap and quietly competing over who gets the last usable pieces of Soviet metal before drones and time destroy them all.🎙Subscribe @TheIslanderNewsDonate - Support Our Work

Science Facts · Society · before 2 meat.

A research revealed that roughly one in five CEOs and senior executives displays clinically significant psychopathic traits.This rate is strikingly similar to the prevalence found among prison populations.According to findings presented at the Australian Psychological Society’s annual congress, approximately 21% of high-level professionals exhibit strong psychopathic characteristics. That’s dramatically higher than the 1% to 4% seen in the general population. These so-called “successful psychopaths” often rise to the top by using charm, confidence, and strong social skills. Yet the same traits, a lack of empathy, superficial relationships, and a tendency toward manipulation, can lead to unethical decision-making and long-term harm to organizations.Forensic psychologist Nathan Brooks, who led the study with researchers from Bond University and the University of San Diego, points to flawed hiring practices as a key factor. Many companies focus heavily on skills and experience while overlooking dangerous personality traits. The researchers recommend implementing more thorough personality assessments during recruitment to screen for toxic characteristics.By prioritizing character alongside competence, organizations can better protect their culture and future from leaders who deliver short-term gains at the expense of long-term integrity.[Brooks, N., Fritzon, K., & Croom, S.
