@tvguidemsk This is pure BS. Starlink satellites have always been able to detect the Doppler shift of the uplink frequency due to the terminal's velocity. Spoofing the GPS position might allow operations just inside Ruzzia but the invalid upllink due to speed will be immediately detected.

@Xinbato_oz Was the husband's name Charles? Becoz he has De Gaulle to ask you to help him and his family after his wife harassed you 😉

@NOELreports It's hanmer time!

@ChungTzuW Bad CGI or AI generated animation. I like Kubrick's better and that was done >60 years ago! And the music was better youtu.be/snTaSJk0n_Y?is…

@TheEuropeansHQ I hope you are correct. Liberal European govts, at least until until far right parties gain power, is the only hope for democracy. I just wish they included Amazon's Leo in the Euro constellation to give Ukraine an alternative to Starlink until the 4 telcos cam launch their own

@Fowl71548470 @cyber_raf05 @TheEuropeansHQ When Starlink AND Starshield slowed down after Elon tweeted "Zelenzky has gone too far", the principle of Occams Razor is your best bet. Clearly only the US or Musk can do this. Who else has the power to do this? It's either Trump, Musk, or Hegseth or any combination of them.

@Katt3jc1 @PawlowskiMario "It wasn't me" is exactly what a kids say when he/she gets caught red handed. At least they don't claim it was due to "an upgrade". Sheesh!

@PawlowskiMario I never doubted that Elon's fingers were in that cowpie.

@LucifersTweetz @PawlowskiMario Please let us know when Elon will finally meet your boss

@DerekTru @PawlowskiMario No. It's about the guy who helped invading nations hamper Ukraine's defense by blocking or slowing down It's comms. It's sorta like preventing resupply of ammo to troops in the middle of a fight.

@Shenxiao123971 I love these AI-generated stories. It's a nice break from the depressing and infuriating posts I see all the time. Thanks, Shenxiao, whoever or whatever you are

@MichaelDChaney @MrsRilzk It's just an AI-created story trying to get more clicks. I am amused, though, by how many people actually believe this is a real story.

@secretsqrl123 Tick-tock, tick-tock...

@Beefeater_Fella As much as I want Europe to be able to create an alternative to Starlink, it lacks one vital capability - a reusable launcher that can rapidly launch 20-30 satellites at a reasonable cost. Otherwise it will just be a jobs program with limited capability like EGNOS was for GPS.

As US Secretary of the Treasury @SecScottBessent clearly has absolutely no idea what he is talking about and asks “Where is Germany?” when it comes to the supply of Patriot fire units and missiles to Ukraine, I thought this might be a good time for an educational tweet. Let's first talk about the supply of fire units and afterwards about the supply of missiles. Germany, Mr. Secretary, has in fact supplied more MIM-104 Patriot fire units to Ukraine than the US has, despite owning and operating only a fraction of what the US owns and operates. About half of Ukraine's MIM-104 Patriot fire units came from Bundeswehr stocks. A total of five fully equipped MIM-104 Patriot fire units were supplied from Bundeswehr stocks between 2023 and 2025 alongside a few extra launchers and most likely a spare radar unit. Germany began donating Patriot related equipment to Ukraine at the same time the US has and still does it until this day while the US has long stopped donating this to Ukraine. Let's now talk about missiles. Together with every fire unit, Germany also donated a missile package. Known donations included for example 100 missiles and 64 missiles. That's substantial, but of course, this only guaranteed the immediate operational readiness of said fire units, nothing else. We didn’t have our own production facilities and our stocks weren’t even remotely as well-stocked as those in the US. The US (led by Biden) actually kept those fire units alive. In February 2025, before the delivery of the last two MIM-104 Patriot fire units took place, before various donations via PURL and JUMPSTART took place and before Germany made several smaller missile deliveries from its own stocks, the German MoD confirmed to have delivered 328 Patriot missiles of various versions. By now the number of Patriot missiles already financed and delivered should exceed 500 easily. But what about what's happening now? Germany has shown multiple times since President Trump took office that it is leading in the organisation, funding and delivery of new ammunition for Ukraine's MIM-104 Patriot fire units. The German government has multiple times organized or tried to organize new deliveries for Ukraine. For example, in February 2026, Germany was in talks with multiple nations to find a total of 35 PAC-3 missiles for Ukraine. After weeks-long negotiations, 30+ were actually donated as a result of the German initiative. Germany was also — on the highest levels — in talks with Spain and Greece for the delivery of additional missiles. But of course, we are doing things beyond. A lot of things. As already mentioned, Germany is actively funding Patriot missiles from the US both via JUMPSTART and via PURL. You shouldn't forget @SecScottBessent, that we are paying you for this. As recently as June 2026, Germany spent a total of $200 million on PAC-3 missiles via JUMPSTART and another $200 million on various missiles via PURL. Total donations already exceed $1 billion. And now to the final and biggest part: In April 2026, Germany announced an enormous missile package for Ukraine. Over the following years, Germany will spend €3.2 billion to finance 600 PAC-2 GEM-T missiles for Ukraine's MIM-104 Patriot fire units — made in Germany by the way. So please don't ask what Germany is doing for Ukraine. We do more for Ukraine then anybody else, including the US. All you do now is getting paid billions for the bare minimum. PS: For full transparency it must be noted that multiple nations like Denmark, Lithuania and Norway above all have supported Germany financially in the delivery or re-procurement of MIM-104 Patriot fire units and missiles.

Holy fucking shit. "Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff have brought up the idea in talks with Ukrainian and European officials, including with Zelensky in Kyiv last month. To help entice Russia to end the war in Ukraine, the Americans have argued, Ukraine should consider restarting pipelines that used to carry Russian natural gas to Europe. European officials in the talks have recoiled at the idea, which would undo the EU’s years of efforts to rid itself of Russian gas. But Trump officials see Russian gas exports as a potential part of a peace settlement.” Andy McCarthy, editor of the conservative National Review in a scathing OpEd: “We’re now well into Putin’s third decade as Russia’s murderous dictator. And Trump is giving him aid and comfort. Congress has become a laggard even when it is in session. In a properly functioning republic, there would be immediate hearings about this week’s shocking escalation of the Trump–Putin alliance. Since the start of Trump’s second term, it has been excruciating to watch Trump blame the victim, our ally Ukraine, for Putin’s war of aggression. Reagan and Poland this is not. As Ukraine fights for its survival against Moscow’s would-be hegemon, Trump hectors it to surrender territory that Putin has been unable to take on the battlefield after 4 years of barbarism. Trump claims to want peace, but his fine print consistently spells out Russia’s terms. Regardless of Trump’s personal interest, the vital American interest stems from Russia’s being America’s enemy, quite apart from being Ukraine’s enemy. Trump has sided with the totalitarian aggressor over the allied European democracy upon which it preys. This week, in lunatic public statements, Trump again blamed Ukraine for the war and gratuitously insulted Zelenskyy (in stark contrast to Trump’s unconcealed admiration for Putin). Trump’s emissaries revived their pressure on Ukraine to settle the conflict by surrendering Ukrainian territory, and threatened that the admin would withhold crucial intelligence that Ukraine needs for its self-defense. This week, Ukraine was horrified to learn, without warning, that Starshield had been restricted. Right at the moment Trump was warning Zelenskyy not to attack Russian refineries, the Starshield settings were somehow altered, such that the system could not track objects traveling at speeds greater than about 100 miles per hour - woefully inadequate to detect Russian aerial assaults. Coincidentally, while the system was compromised, Putin’s forces conducted some of the most intensive aerial attacks against Ukrainian territory since the war began, firing 39 ballistic missiles and 128 Shahed drones, mainly at the greater Kyiv and Kharkiv areas. At least 9 civilians were killed, and many others wounded. 26 power facilities and 4 oil and gas facilities were damaged. More than 600,000 people lost power in the capital. If we allow common sense to enter the equation, too many dark signs point in the direction of an American admin - at the very moment it was seeking Ukraine’s capitulation and threatening to leave it defenseless by denying intelligence - taking conscious action that left Ukraine exposed to an intense attack, which Russia just happens to have conducted right at the perfect time. This is dark. It demands answers. Now.”" This Weekend in Politics, Bulletin 483. 10/18/26 open.substack.com/pub/meidastouc…

ZELENSKYY HAS BEEN BETRAYED!!! ...by Trump. By MAGA. By the Republicans. By everyone who supports Trump. But WHO is Zelenskyy?? Zelenskyy is the man who stood fast in the face of russia's entire armed might, and said, 'I need ammunition, not a ride.' THAT is

And let's make something ABUNDANTLY clear If Russia were to lay down down its arms right now, the war would be over, but if Ukraine were to disarm, they would not only lose their independence and territory, but would also be inviting Putin to expand his land grabbing campaign and war efforts into Eastern Europe. Putin is on a warpath to reincorporate territory that once belonged on the peripheries of the Russian empire. Donald Trump is too ignorant to understand any of this history, so we won't go there, but he's also too dumb (with a "b") to realize that his bromance with Vladimir Putin is one-sided and unreciprocated, and that any overtures from Putin are explicitly designed to weaken the United States; strain our western alliances; erode our strategic influence around the world and undermine our trustworthiness as a global partner. Trump doesn't want "peace." He just wants to blame others for his own failures, and he'll plunge the world into chaos to do it... Trump's treacherous decision to ease sanctions on Russian diesel imports and broker an oil deal with Putin is only helping to fund the Russian war machine and lend legitimacy to Putin's invasion of Ukraine. Worse even, Trump's "agreement" with Putin doesn't release nearly enough potential diesel to even remotely bring down its cost in the US. What it does do, however, is it emboldens Putin and gives him the confidence to launch more strikes on not just Ukraine's energy infrastructure, but its civilian areas as well. In fact, directly following Trump's oil deal announcement, Russia attacked a residential building, killing 20 people, including three children! This was NO COINCIDENCE! The Pentagon has also just taken another shocking course of action against Ukraine! The US has done the unconscionable by restricting Ukraine's access to its satellite internet network—Starshield. This comes as Russia has just launched a massive attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, despite Trump's claim of an "energy ceasefire." The attack cut power to 600,000 people living in Ukraine's capital, Kyiv. And with the Pentagon shutting off their access to satellite internet, the US is signaling to the world that it's determined to push Ukraine to the breaking point. And all because Donald Trump doesn't want to take responsibility for higher gas prices for Americans. Trump (and Elon Musk) has done the UNFORGIVABLE. It should be obvious by now that he has chosen to take Russia's side in this war in an effort to bring Ukraine's energy system to the brink of collapse! Yes, Trump appears committed to reversing decades of foreign policy precedent by aligning his interests with the interests of Vladimir Putin. And by doing so, he is not only threatening the independence and the lives of the Ukranian people, he is not only propping up the Russian invasion, he is not only supplying aid to Russia during a time of dire financial need, but don't forget that because Russia is also providing Iran with strategic and military resources, Trump is helping to sustain a war in the middle east that is KILLING Americans and wreaking a devastating toll on the US economy! It's fucking madness! Trump could have ended the war in Ukraine by applying pressure on Putin while Russia is facing major economic and strategic challenges. Instead, he has chosen to exert that pressure on Ukraine's forces while making unreasonable and coercive demands of Zelensky. And by shifting the burden on Ukraine, Trump is also validating Putin's justifications for going to war. He has chosen to make enemies of allies and allies of enemies. He has chosen dictatorship over democracy. And it seems he has chosen to irrevocably damage our alliances, diminish our strategic soft power, and tarnish whatever credibility we had left on the world stage. Trump has singlehandedly destroyed our global reputation, and there's no guarantee that the US will ever recover.

@OckersM I think Ukraine should visit all Ruzzian refineries within 3000 km. It always inspires art
