Not shocked in the slightest. I would find it quite reasonable that the legal requests didn't go anywhere because the correct bribes were not paid. I learned firsthand that hiring a lawyer is foolish, hire a fixer instead. Saves time, money, and it's effective.
Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.
We could isolate Russia totally from the world and maybe they could apply for membership after 2000 years.
Thanks for that. This is a curiously passive statement:
...The 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate were then transferred to warehouse 12 in the port of Beirut
So who ordered that I wonder, and why?
Well, impossible to guess now which bureaucrat ordered it and why precisely that location (likely because it was available and nearby) but the ship was derelict, the owner had no money and the cargo had to go somewhere...
Around here we call it "provisorio eterno".
It's a normal procedure in a lot of places for unwanted stuff- dump it in a corner somewhere, then forget about it.
It's hard for Americans to understand just how utterly inefficient and corrupt a lot of the world is.

Like one of my two garages.

That works well for many different things.....high explosives, not so much.

Seismic data suggests string of blasts preceded Beirut explosion: Israeli analyst
... sensors picked up more than five “small bursts” at intervals of around 11 seconds before the main Beirut explosion, a sequence that continued after the incident.
Such a sequence could be consistent with “weapons systems that are activated in a chain” and which might have been stored in the port and set off accidentally or deliberately, said Israel Defense.
